• E.T. The Extra Terrestrial - In the fall of 1981, one of Earth’s most beloved visitors from space and his friend Elliot were the first tenants of this newly-constructed Tujunga house. 
• The Karate Kid - Very close to where I grew up, the South Seas Apartments in Reseda was once home to Valley legend, Daniel LaRusso.
