#23: California’s Iconic Landmarks and the Hollywood Hills
Though I Dream of Jeannie was set in Cape Kennedy, Florida — home of NASA’s real-life space program — much of the show was filmed in Southern California. Astute viewers may notice the Hollywood Hills peeking out behind scenes meant to depict Florida’s flat coastal terrain.
General Healy’s office scenes were shot at an actual Air Force base in Los Angeles, adding a touch of authenticity while still leaning on convenience. The production team cleverly blended iconic California locations with the show’s fictional Florida setting, utilizing palm trees, studio sets, and savvy camera angles to create a seamless illusion.
