LA City Council designated the Brady Bunch house in Studio City as a historic-cultural monument, protecting it from demolition and increasing oversight of alterations. The home, famous for its exterior in the 1969–74 show and later recreated interiors on HGTV’s A Very Brady Renovation, was sold in 2023 and has hosted limited public tours, underscoring its status as a pop-culture and architectural landmark.
A group of A-list directors, including Jason Reitman, Christopher Nolan, J.J. Abrams, and Steven Spielberg, have purchased the historic Village Theater in Westwood, Los Angeles, which has been a favorite site for movie premieres since 1931. The directors plan to showcase a mixture of first-run films and repertory programming, and they also aim to add a restaurant, bar, and gallery to the theater while preserving its historic charm. The purchase comes at a time when movie theaters are facing financial challenges, and the new owners hope to create a community hub for movie lovers and revitalize the moviegoing experience.
