Author Charles Fleming and dog Biscuit descend the famed Music Box Steps in 2021 in Silver Lake, setting of beloved Laurel and Hardy comedy, “The Music Box.” An intersection in Silver Lake recently designated as historic for its connection with the 1932 film, “The Music Box,” will receive a sign in the coming months honoring the fact, Los Angeles city officials announced on Thursday, June 6.
“Silver Lake is home to so many historic outdoor staircases, contributing to the rich cultural fabric of our community,” Los Angeles City Councilman Hugo Soto-Martínez said in a statement. “We are proud to recognize this small but mighty landmark in the history of our city’s most important industry.”
The Society of Camera Operators, who in 1992 co-sponsored The Music Box Steps plaque, expressed their support for the city to dedicate this location. Michael Frediani, historical chair of the organization, who brought this site to the city’s attention, said they hope to shine a spotlight on as many iconic film locations as possible.
