Clinton64 I believe you win for the most movies filmed in your town, we have a few more, but our town is pretty old for the west coast, founded in 1858, and with Lucus Sound Studios, 20 miles down the hiway 101, we are a appealing place to do period pieces from the the early 1900's to 1950's. One of our friends has had his house in two movies. The first the fixed a bunch of problems with their house, the second they lanscaped it! I had a guy knock on the door a couple of years ago because he wanted a nice back yard for a commercial shoot and had heard I had a nice cape cod style garden! I was shocked, but we didn't have the look he wanted. I keep hoping to get one of those TV shows to spruce the yard up, or put in a drive way of brick!:D

Stovens man.. that sounds like a great town you live in!!! have you ever got to meet any movie stars? about the only famous people i ever got to meet was jimmy carter and his wife, when i was young!! I must have been about 4 years old,

I've met paul simmon and art garfunkle separately while working in Glacier National Park as a kid, kicked Malcom Forbes out of a restaurant there as well. Met Harrison Ford in Jackson hole Wy, and a few hollywood type at work when they have had babies, Sean Penn, Members of Journey and Talking Heads, a few other musicians, and local tv people. Not much into celebs.....our famous local girl likes to shop lift, guess who?:whacked:

that one girl from "girl interupted" winona ryder?

Yup! Don't see her around here too often..like never!:D
