If you haven’t already heard, Netflix is currently filming a movie here in Hawthorne!

The film, which is called “Beauty”, revolves around a woman and her family living in New Jersey during the 1980s. Over the course of time, this woman ends up becoming a worldwide popstar. Although it is unclear whether or not the movie is based on a true story, many people speculate that the film will center around Blondie, an American rock band that began in the 1970s. 

Scenes for this film are mainly being shot by the Hawthorne Memorial Pool, Grand Avenue, and Tuxedo Avenue, which explains the sudden appearance of trucks and trailers in that area. Filming will also take place from October 28 to November 15 between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
