In the 1984 Randy Newman music video "I LOVE L.A.," we see a giant donut emblazoned with the name "Randy's" on the side. This is a real donut shop called "Randy's Donuts"; it's located in Inglewood, at 805 W. Manchester Boulevard, just west of the San Diego (405) Freeway about 4 miles north of where I'm working.

This mammoth donut has also been seen in a number of movies, including 1985's "INTO THE NIGHT," with Michelle Pfeiffer, 1989's "EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY" (with Geena Davis), 1991's "BREATHLESS" (with Richard Gere) and 1983's "LOVE LETTERS" (with Jamie Lee Curtis
