I graduated from Carpinteria CA high school and have no interest whatsover in Hollywood. (Have lived in Ohio for a long time).

However, my 12-year-old daughter thinks she will meet movie stars in Hollywood (ugh). There is no way to disabuse her of the notion other than to take her there. Also, I am sure that she will enjoy some of the touristy movie sites. So, if anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. (I plan to be in LA roughly from Dec. 26 or 27 until Jan. 1. as will be explained in next thread)

My 16-year-old son is a serious film maker, who has produced about five 10-15 minute short films. One of them was a runner-up in a film contest that included submissions from college students. If someone could suggest some places he might visit that would be useful to me. (Maybe USC or UCLA film schools) Again, any suggestions would be appreciated.
