In this episode of "CLAIRE" the once famous Jacks at the Beach lounge was featured.

From my understanding Jacks was located in Santa Monica on the pier...

Is that correct? Please let me know.

The Rockford Files - Episode: A Bad Deal in the Valley

In this still image James Rockford is leaving the office of Private Investigator Murray Slauson (played by David Sabin). Not to hard to figure out this location, I wish they were all this easy.... Just as the door says, yes that is 2520 W. Olive Ave in Burbank, California.

Also in this episode the most beautiful Susan Strasberg plays crooked real estate dealer Karen Stiles. Susan looked fantastic in this episode! 

A Bad Deal in the Valley

Stiles Realty  Olive & Buena Vista Burbank, CA

This building was torn down to make way for a giant office building.

Sadly Susan Strasberg who played real estate dealer Karen Stiles passed away from beast cancer at an early age. Susan was cremated and her ashes were spread over the ocean. Godspeed to this beautiful and sexy actress!

 

The Rockford Files had a knack of having very beautiful actresses guest starring on the show and Veronica Hamel certainly fits that category.

Rockford Files - Episode: Feeding Frenzy (1976) 28124 Pacific Coast Highway Beach House - Also a Rockford Files Blooper

 

 

ABOVE TWO PHOTOS: There is a ROCKFORD FILES BLOOPER HERE! In the 1st photo the masked bad guy answers the door with no gloves on...as Jim Rockford pushes the masked bad guy back into the beach house, the masked bad guy suddenly has a pair of black gloves.

ABOVE TWO PHOTOS: You can read the address on the ocean front Malibu beach house in the 2nd photo. It reads "28124". Its actual address is 28124 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, CA.

------------------------

This fabulous Malibu beachfront house at 28124 Pacific Coast Highway  was also a filming location for “Charlie’s Angels” starring Farrah Fawcett-Majors.

UPDATE: The Rockford Files - Episode: Dirty Money, Black Light (1977) & Episode: A Fast Count (1978) - Seaburys College of Barbering - Was located at approximately 350 South Main Street, Los Angeles, CA

  The Seaburys College of Barbering - Was once located at approximately 350 South on Main Street in Los Angeles, CA - The building has since been torn down.

 

ABOVE PHOTOS: are still images from the Rockford Files - "Dirty Money, Black Light" episode.

The same barber shop can be seen in the BELOW PHOTOS from the Rockford Files - "A Fast Count" episode.

UPDATE:

The location of the Barber College is between 3rd and 4th on S. Main Street.
The Barber College is directly next door to the boxing gym in "A Fast Count".
You can see when watching "A Fast Count" that the barber pole sign, green window shade, grey painted exterior are all exactly the same as the shots in "Dirty Money Black Light". Also, you can see the windows in the now 'Dish Factory' on S. L.A. Street are the same as the ones when Angel is stuffing money into his socks...over his shoulder.
The building that houses the Barber College and the Gym is now gone.
Thanks for the site and all the info.
Sincerely,
Jeff Morrison (Mozilla)

Craig Wasson played the bumbling student barber Steve Watson, even cutting Angels' neck a few times with slipped scissors during the haircut at the SEABURYS COLLEGE OF BARBERING.
