Just miles from Hollywood, nestled in the San Gabriel Valley, lies the town of Altadena, which was decimated by the Eaton Fire. Among the thousands of structures burnt down were a number of historic buildings used in movies and TV series.
As the area reopened two weeks after the disaster hit, Deadline was able to survey some of the destruction. Below is a photo record of what is left of the famous buildings, along with pictures of what they looked like before the fire, including images of how they will be remembered from scenes in films and TV shows.
The houses lost include the mansion seen on Max’s award-winning comedy series Hacks, a 1915 Spanish Colonial Revival, with only its facade still standing.
Also destroyed are the Altadena Town & Country Club, seen in Mad Men, Starsky & Hutch, Van Wilder and The Wonder Years; the Eliot Arts Magnet Academy School from Rob Zombie’s Halloween; and the amphitheater from American Pie 2 and Ghost Whisperer.
Gone are the McNally House, from Entourage and many other productions; the Rubio House, seen in about a dozen movies and TV series, including This Is Us, Can’t Hardly Wait, Desperate Housewives and Cheeper By the Dozen,;as well as the Crank house (not pictured) where Matilda, Scream 2, and Catch Me If You Can were filmed, There is only a shell left of the building whose storefront and upstairs apartment were featured in film Larry Crowne.
