I was an extra in surviving christmas and the airport scene was at a studio in pacoima called hollywood air.We filmed it in feb of 2003.
ReplyDeleteThe house was a block from mine, we met Gandolfini and Afleck. It was so cool. The place they bought the tree, "Poor Don's Treeland" is Meinke's Garden Center.
ReplyDeleteMeinkes is THE BEST!!
DeleteChristina applegate and I dated during the film
ReplyDeleteThe park scene was supposed to be on the triangular park locally known as "doggy doo island" if I recall correctly. Also known as 6 corners near 7 corners in Scarsdale. I used to live on Beverly Lane a few houses away to the north. The house has been sold and leveled so neighbor could have 3 lots and a McMansion. Idiots. Ray Kroc of McDonalds fame used to live on the next block of Beverly Lane on the other side of the park for a little trivia.
ReplyDeleteMy childhood friend's parents owned that house. The Byrne's house is where for the first time ever I told a boy I loved him.
ReplyDeleteMy Cousins lived at the house early 70's. I spent many holiday's there as a young kid.
ReplyDeleteWatching this movie on 2023. I live in Chicago and it’s cool to learn about all these places.
