Current News:
Wildfires in the Greater Los Angeles Area
The disastrous wildfires in and around Los Angeles have affected many lives and buildings. Our hearts go out to those who have lost their loved ones and their homes.
We are happy to announce that none of the "Falcon Crest" core cast members currently residing in the area have been in imminent danger. In particular, SUSAN SULLIVAN sent an e-mail to DFCF President THOMAS J. PUCHER on Jan 10, stating that she and CONNELL are all right; she also confirmed that DAVID SELBY is all right as well. DAVID himself reached out to DFCF Senior Editor TOM TAGLIENTE that he and CHIP are okay; and so did GREGORY HARRISON. ANA ALICIA informed THOMAS J. PUCHER on Jan 11 that she is not in imminent danger. CARL HELD marked himself safe on social media.
As far as "Falcon Crest" filming locations are concerned, Will Rogers State Historic Park in Pacific Palisades, CA (which was primarily used as Greg's ranch) unfortunately became the victim of the Palisades Fire. All buildings are destroyed, including the historic stable (which was seen in various episodes of season 4) and the house (which remained out of the camera angle on "Falcon Crest", but whose driveway was used as the driveway in front of the Falcon Crest Victorian Mansion in # 120).
