The 1990 comedy, Ernest Goes to Jail, starring Jim Varney, was filmed in Nashville, Tennessee. The prison seen in the film is the Tennessee State Prison. Closed in 1992, the prison has appeared in numerous other films, such as “The Green Mile,” “Nashville,” “The Last Castle” and “Walk the Line.” No longer an active prison, it remains closed to the public most of the time, with the exception of occasional local events. A tornado in 2020 also caused damage to the building. However, it can still be seen at a distance from public areas.

For the 1993 movie adaptation of “The Beverly Hillbillies,” the Clampett family lives in this house, which is not located in Beverly Hills, rather in Pasadena. The property has appeared in many productions, such as “The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement,” as well as the television shows “Charlie’s Angels,” “Murder, She Wrote,” “Knight Rider” and many more.

LOCATION: 1288 S Oakland Ave, Pasadena, CA 91106

While part of the home can be seen from the street, it is only a side of the house and doesn’t give you a proper perspective of just how large it really is.
