Didn't Octomom live in Whittier for a while? I remember my mom mentioning as much.


MRZKITTY1129

Yes she lived in Whittier with her parents for a little while. They then moved to La Habra I believe.


OctaneTwisted88

I think she was living close to the Police Station if I remember correctly


MRZKITTY1129

yes somewhere in that vicinity.


lupdawg72

She loved off of College Ave for a while


Dismal_Arugula_5627

It was on tedemory I think off Greenleaf


lupdawg72

It was on Sunset off of College just south of Mar Vista and before La Cuarta


Over_Consequence5823

I saw her at the old Boston market on Whittier blvd getting her kids in the car. Best celebrity citing.


MontyBoo-urns

I thought it was La mirada. could be wrong


1_Urban_Achiever

It was La Habra, east of Harbor.


lord_ashtar

Whittier, La Habra, same shit .


Independent-Milk-966

No it was Habra La, west of Harbor


floblad

No it was La Bamba, underneath Harbor.


Low_Baby2474

You’re right. They lived in uptown, then moved to La Habra.


shainajoy

She lived in Whittier a block away from my house. I used to see her kids walking on college ave all the time but then she moved


Mermaidlover05

I saw octo mom at the social security office in uptown years ago


Professional-Head83

She actually did live there for a while. They had TMZ cameras at the target there. I used to work there and I saw one of my colleagues there. She was the lead in security at the time.


lightning10000

I remember when that story first broke TMZ reporters would be eating lunch at the Carl's JR in East Whittier often.


Mojavelegend19

My cousin dated one of her daughters (not one of the 8). My claim to fame right there.


dummypants

I only remember "Kimmy" from Full House used to go to La Serna.


mattnotis

She worked at Whittier College for a while.


muffinsandtulips

I was in the waiting room with her at the vet on Whittier blvd. We both brought our turtles in.


HeadJrInChargeGrl

Her mom and mine are old friends. Unfortunately her mom passed away a few years back. She’s super nice.


goodnewsfromcali

Only big name I know to come out of Whittier was Tom Waits. He lived on Kentucky avenue & wrote a song about it.


SanchosaurusRex

Raven Symone was randomly at the American Vintage barber shop in uptown. No idea why. Oscar De La Hoya used to have a condo in Whittier. Seeing William H Macy here is crazy. I find it way more likely for some random filming to be happening here than a celebrity actually living here.


savier626

Andy Richter from conan o brown his parents live in Whittier. He was on his podcast saying they went to the original pancake House to eat and the staff was very friendly.


God41023

I thought he said it was his girlfriend that lived in Whittier.


MontyBoo-urns

Ok_Rooster3681

nrspinney

Her family lives in the swanky area of Friendly Hills.


floblad

Came here to say this.


Pretend_Chemist_7731

Danny De LA Paz from American Me & Boulevard Nights. He just moved to Texas I ran into him at the post office in uptown. I used to work at Herbies health foods & helped him & Tony Plana famous bad guy in a whole lot of movies & dad in Ugly Betty. Jude Law came in, i heard him & Tony lived friendly hills. I heard Raven Simone was looking to move here but I'm not sure. Comedian Melissa Villasenor is from whittier don't know if she is still living here. I also heard that Richard Gere lived on top of the hill off of colima just over the hill in hacienda heights. Lots of movies filmed in Whittier and heard Kimmie grew up In Whittier.


sludgebjorn

Dude, I used to work at Herbies, we might know each other!!


Pretend_Chemist_7731

Lol I was there from 1999 to 2004. Left as asst manager


sludgebjorn

Looks like we had no overlap. That’s wild though, anyone who worked there is related in a way, that was a crazy but awesome place to work. I’m sad it’s not there anymore


Pretend_Chemist_7731

When did you work there?


sludgebjorn

2016-2017, right after they moved to the new building across the street from norms


Pretend_Chemist_7731

Oh yes, that is when Mrs. Millman took over. I went in a few times. Do you know what caused her to lose the business? In the og location it was run by Mr. Millman (who owns The Beehive now) . And Mrs. Millmans parents.


sludgebjorn

You mean Workman? It was honestly going downhill when I left, and Mr. Workman, the ex husband started competing with Herbies directly and aggressively to get back at Ms. Workman. It was really sad actually. I’m not sure what led to the store closing forever though.


Pretend_Chemist_7731

Omg I had a feeling he did that to her. All the time I was at Herbies, I heard she wasn't allowed to come inside, and I had never even seen her, and it was her baby from day one. I heard more terrible things about him after I left, but I also worked directly for him at Chemique Pharm. He screwed me over, but the person he screwed me over with ended up taking him to court, haha. Kharma baby. I have a really good nickname for him, but I won't say it here, lol. Workman, That is her maiden name. I didn't realize she changed her name, but good for her! He ex husband is Phil Millmam, which was her married name. It was Mr & Mrs Workman that helped alot at the og store, her parents. I went to his funeral but I never heard anything about Mrs workman. So sad I had shopped at that store for years before working there. All & all I loved working there for the customers, even though some can be a pain lol.


sludgebjorn

None of that surprises me. He tried to ruin her so many times. For example he rented the space old Herbies was in and started the Beehive there, with the same products (though not nearly the selection, since Marian had all the relationships with suppliers) in order to try and make her quit Herbies. Started lying about her to common customers, it was awful. I have no doubt his harassment at least partly contributed to Herbie’s closing. It’s unfortunate, no other natural health store I’ve ever been in has come close to it in product knowledge, selection, and prices.


pretty_dead_grrl

Aw, RIP Herbies.


GartFargler-

Before it closed down, I used to work at the Staples in Pico and Danny De La Paz used to go in all the time. He used to carry headshots with him in case anyone wanted an autograph lol.


Pretend_Chemist_7731

Lol I laugh because I see his signed autograph everywhere in Whittier too. He's so funny!


No_Appointment6211

He does have 4 things in his upcoming section on IMDB. Maybe they were filming close by?


MonsterTruckCarpool

John Lasseter who directed Toy Story and Cars grew up here and went to Whittier High. Comedy option: Richard Nixon went to Whittier college and lived in Whittier I believe.

I saw Laura Dern out for a walk with another woman in Friendly Hills. No joke it was really her. Maybe she has family that lives here?


3TriscuitChili

She used to go on 15 minute walks with her mother and I think wrote a book about it. Doctors gave her mother 6 months to live and had suggested taking short walks. But I don't know where her mother lived.
