Her L.A. mansion, all glass walls and symmetry, represents her meticulously controlled life before she learns to slow down, sip wine, and fall in love with Jude Law. And whilst she flees to an English cottage, Kate Winslet finds her confidence in the luxurious home Amanda leaves behind.<\/p>\n<p>Those iconic exterior shots weren\u2019t filmed in Hollywood Hills, they were filmed at 1883 Orlando Road in San Marino. The home, designed by architect Wallace Neff in the 1920s, is a Spanish-style masterpiece. Some of the most recognizable spots include a grand motor court, curved archways, and a pool that\u2019s made plenty of movie cameos.<\/p>\n<p> <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-102180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-Holiday-movie-Amandas-house-8.jpg\" alt=\"A still from Cameron Diaz's house The Holiday\" width=\"736\" height=\"406\"  \/>Universal Pictures <\/p>\n<p>Though the interiors were recreated on a soundstage the real mansion remains an architectural gem. Visitors can drive by and catch a glimpse of Amanda\u2019s home (from the public sidewalk, it\u2019s a private residence!). It\u2019s a quick stop, but for fans of The Holiday, it\u2019s a thrill to see the setting where Cameron Diaz dramatically declares, \u201cI\u2019m leaving for England!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Universal Pictures Save Before The Holiday became a seasonal must-watch, Nancy Meyers had already mastered the art of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[9479,48,52,51,47,50,49,5198],"class_list":{"0":"post-41213","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-christmas","9":"tag-la","10":"tag-la-headlines","11":"tag-la-news","12":"tag-los-angeles","13":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","14":"tag-los-angeles-news","15":"tag-mainstream-cinema"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
