Lucy and Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman at The Egyptian Theatre
For this family of actors, there’s no place like the movies. “Going to the theater together, that was a huge part of our lives growing up,” says Lucy DeVito, like her parents, still in awe of the silver screen. “You’re just in it. It’s great to watch a film the way it’s meant to be watched.” These days, the DeVito-Perlman crew (which includes her siblings, Jake, a producer, and Gracie, an artist) makes a point to keep that tradition alive—whether here at The Egyptian, birthplace of the red-carpet premiere; its 1920s neighbors the Chinese and El Capitan; or any number of other citywide treasures. “When you live in Hollywood, your local theater is not just any old theater,” reflects Perlman, citing the Eastside’s Vista (1923) and Los Feliz 3 (1935) and West Side’s Aero (1939) and Fox (1930) as historic examples. Whatever the space, Danny notes, “going to the movies, that’s a deep, deep experience—when the joke scores and you have hundreds of people laughing at the same time. Everyone should know that.” In fact, the industry depends on it. “So much of our city was built on Hollywood, so many people are connected to the business—it feels good to support our peers,” says Lucy. Asks her mom, “What’s playing tonight?” —S.C.

Megan Stalter at Marriage Skate Shop
Megan Stalter isn’t much of a skateboarder. In fact, the actor-comedian (best known for her role on Hacks) describes herself as “kind of clumsy.” Still, one of her favorite spots in Los Angeles is Marriage, an Echo Park skate shop co-owned by Stalter’s fashion stylist Kat Typaldos and Typaldos’s husband, Ronnie Campone. “I have a sentimental connection to this space. It’s more than just decks and hoodies. It’s a real community spot,” she says. In addition to its array of groovy skater merch, Marriage also hosts adoption days for shelter dogs, reflecting the proprietors’ ongoing support for the vital work of LA Animal Services. Stalter is passionate about dogs, too. Her own rescue, Bunny, has been indispensable in easing the actor into showbiz life in LA. “We both have a lot of love and a lot of anxiety,” she confesses. “I moved here five years ago, during the COVID pandemic, and the city was lonely and scary. Now it’s amazing. It’s heaven.” —M.R.
