LONG BEACH HOLLYWOOD FILM FUN FACTS:

DID YOU KNOW:  The beautiful suburbian home pictured in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off was actually a Long Beach home lcoated at 4160 Country Club Drive right here in the upscale Virginia Country Club, a neighborhood within the Los Cerritos area of Bixby Knolls. 

In addition to that, The American Pie homes of Jim and Michelle were around the corner at 4153 Cedar Drive and 3295 Cedar Drive.  Down the street from there was something more sinister being filmed at the make-believe Donni Darko home located at 4225 Country Club Drive.
