The Rockford Files - Episode: Exit Prentiss Carr (1974) 10708 Bloomfield, Los Angeles, CA

THE BEAUTIFUL ACTRESS ROBERTA COLLINS PLAYED NANCY HELLMAN IN THIS EPISODE OF THE ROCKFORD FILES. THE CHARACTER IS MURDERED AFTER HER INVOLVEMENT IN A BLACKMAIL SCHEME. ROBERTA COLLINS DIED IN REAL LIFE ON AUGUST 16, 2008 AT THE AGE OF 63 (accidental overdose of alcohol & drugs).

Her birth name was Roberta Lee Hefley





Jim Rockford is seen at this residence several times during this episode. Jim was drawn to this house because the resident, Nancy Hellman, was under investigation. This was a tough one... The above residence that was once located at 10708 Bloomfield in Los Angeles was the filming location for the above 4 still images. The home was clearly marked "10708" on the building itself and the curb in these scenes. In searching for this residence I ended up figuring out that this residence was torn down sometime after this filming and a new large apartment or condo building was built on its original location. I ended up using the two house next to this residence to locate this filming location.

Oh my goodness, that entire block has now changed drastically--nearly all the little homes are gone and large apartment buildings have taken their place.
