Scenes were captured along Capri Way in Oxnard Shores, where the actors occupied a beach house.
#WHERE WAS TAKING A SHOT OF LOVE FILMED SERIES#
The series played out the lives and loves of young adults with dramatic elements every week. Oxnard was also the setting for scenes from the popular 1990s TV show, Melrose Place. Actor Burt Reynolds, who played August, ran up the iconic museum steps at the beginning of this popular American crime drama series. The steps leading up to the Carnegie Art Museum could be seen on the 1970s hit TV show, Dan August. Romantic swashbuckler and Hollywood playboy Errol Flynn owned Oxnard’s historic pagoda house in Hollywood Beach. Locals recall sightings of Charlie Chaplin and Greta Garbo who vacationed here. Legendary Clark Gable was rumored to have lived in at least two houses on Oxnard’s beaches. Around the same time, Douglas Fairbanks spent time on the same dunes while filming “Bound in Morocco.” Oxnard Beach became known as ‘Hollywood by the Sea’ where it was transformed into an Arabian desert replete with paper mache palm trees for The Sheik. Even though Tinseltown was miles away, by the mid 1920s, the Hollywood brand was so strong that communities throughout Southern California were claiming it.
Oxnard’s debut in the film industry started early when the blockbuster, The Sheik starring Rudolph Valentino was filmed in 1921. Its beaches, historic downtown and neighborhoods have served as backdrops in major productions.
If you watch movies and television or browse through glossy magazines, you have likely seen Oxnard onscreen.
