The Rubio House

One of my new favorite shows of the television season is the CBS series

. Simon Baker'”‘”‘s acting on the show is truly incredible and I absolutely love watching his character! Anyway, while watching last week'”‘”‘s episode, I recognized not one, but two filming locations! The first location I recognized is a home that is used fairly often in movie and television productions and is known to us stalkers as “the Rubio house”. While watching the episode on Tuesday night, I turned to my boyfriend and screamed “Oh my god, that'”‘”‘s the Rubio house!” to which he replied “What'”‘”‘s the Rubio house?” and I realized I had yet to blog about it. So here goes. 🙂

The Rubio house is a large colonial style home located on Rubio Street in Altadena, just a few miles north of Pasadena. On Tuesday night'”‘”‘s

episode, which was entitled “Seeing Red”, the home belonged to millionaire murder victim Rosemary Tennant. The interior and exterior of the home, especially the front porch area, were featured several times in the episode. According to

, the Rubio house has also been featured in the pilot episode of

(as the Camden family home),

(as the party location),

and

the first two

movies also used the interior of the Rubio house – Stiffler'”‘”‘s parties at the beginning of both flicks were filmed there. There are some conflicting reports and ongoing debates among stalkers that the home was also used as Tom Cruise'”‘”‘s house in the movie

But

, it has been confirmed through several location scouts who worked on the 1983 movie that the entirety of

was shot on location in Chicago, Illinois and that the Rubio house was not, in fact, used. I am sure it is something stalkers will continue to debate about for years to come, though. 🙂

– Just got a comment from Timothy over at

that the Rubio house was also used as Lindsay Lohan'”‘”‘s residence in the movie

. Thanks for the info and the

Altadenablog!

The Rubio house is HUGE in person – much, much larger than it appears onscreen. It is easy to see why producers choose to use this home again and again in productions, as it looks like a very typical American home that could be found anywhere in the Midwest.

The next location I recognized from

was the swamp area from the Warner Brothers Lot, which Mike, from

, and I

. In

, the car that killed murder victim Rosemary Tennant is found in the WB swamp and a short scene takes place there as Simon Baker and his crew watch as the car is being removed from the water. As I mentioned in last week'”‘”‘s post about our WB tour, the swamp has been used in numerous productions over the years including

and

Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂
