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!

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?

that one girl from "girl interupted" winona ryder?

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