Famous Hollywood Locations by Leon Smith
Did you ever wonder where Beaver Cleaver's house was? How about the mountain where King Kong had his hideaway? Or Mr. Roark's mansion and lagoon on Fantasy Island? Of course, all were in Hollywood. This is a photographic guide to 382 sites in and around Los Angeles that have been used in film and television. Some are well known (Mann's Chinese Theater, the Hollywood Bowl, the Los Angeles Zoo); others are obscure (such as the Hollywood Hills house used in Double Indemnity, the garden from Dark Shadows and the Indian head rock seen in Noah's Ark). The sites are grouped geographically, and each entry includes the exact address and photographs of what the location looks like today. A brief plot background is also provided.
Once a gang squad coordinator in Watts, Detective Leon Smith, a veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, uses his investigative skills off duty to track down vintage movie locations. The Laurel and Hardy buff has authored two books about movie locations, HOLLYWOOD GOES ON LOCATION and FOLLOWING THE COMEDY TRAIL. A native of Kansas City, Kansas, Smith joined the Los Angeles police force in the late 50s.
