A Then and Now Tour Of Westwood Village
As part of our Los Angeles filming locations tour, we take a deep dive into the historic
Westwood Village neighborhood on the Westside of LA. When this movie was filmed on location, this world-famous shopping and entertainment district was only a few years old.
Our then and now comparison offers a rare glimpse of the area's wide-open, undeveloped spaces as they appeared nearly a century ago — long before it became the high density neighborhood of today.
