The scene
What happened at Hollywood Star Lanes (site)
Hollywood Star Lanes was the film’s bowling alley, with its neon, Googie-style decor and plenty of White Russians.
The alley was torn down in 2002. A school now stands on the site.
Then & Now
On location today
Nothing of the bowling alley remains. Fans still visit the spot, and bowling alleys around Los Angeles welcome Lebowski fans.
Line up the shot
There’s nothing left to frame here. Recreate the look at a vintage alley instead.
