Where was Blair’s apartment/loft filmed at?
Do you have pictures of Alana’s house or Blair’s loft from Less Than Zero?
Hi . The loft is an old brewery downtown LA. It was used for many films & TV shows. A number of photographers & artists lived & worked there . I did make up there several times but don’t remember the address but it’s well known location . I was in the green marble stairs building many times . The ones where Julian was sick .
Yes that is correct. Part of the Brewery Artists Lofts complex in Lincoln Heights. The address was added above.
What about the beach house during the B&W sequence with Clay and Blaire at the beginning of the film? Malibu?
The beach house is located here: 26940 Malibu Cove Colony Dr, Malibu CA

Have you tracked down any of the Palm Springs locations from the movie? Since I live there now, I would love to stalk them. 🙂
Several places
– Dillon Road on the final scenes
– The club was filmed in an empty retail building across from Don the Beachcomber North Palm Springs. (they put shrubbery and lights out front to make it look totally different)
– The plaza theater at night.
– Hotel scenes were at the Hyatt Hotel in the 220 north Palm Canyon block.
– a lot of locations you won’t recognize because they have been demolished or refurbished.
I was an extra in the movie.
Are the airport scenes filmed in DFW?
Where was the cemetery scene at the end of the movie filmed?
I believe it’s Calvery Cemetery in LA.
I recently visited several of the filming locations. You can check out the photos at

The boy on the swing in the park where clay finds Julian the next morning sleeping on a bench…where was that filmed?
I believe Alana’s house was located at 9904 Kip Dr, Los Angeles. However, that house was unfortunately demolished in the 1990’s and replaced with a new house.
