The RIVERA COUNTRY CLUB located at 1250 Capri Drive in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, California was used in at least two episodes of THE ROCKFORD FILES TV Show. These episodes were: The Farnsworth Stratagem (1975) & The Kirkoff Case (1974). The Kirkoff Case episode had special guest star (a very young) James Woods.
ABOVE TWO PHOTOS: The sexy and beautiful Linda Evans starred in "The Farnsworth Stratagem" and played the role of con-artist Audrey Wyatt... The Rockford Files TV Show always had a knack for having hot sexy female special guest stars.
Most teenage boys in the 1970's had a big crush on Linda Evans but for some reason I was really sweet on actress Pat Finley who played Sgt. Dennis Becker's wife, Peggy Becker. I always though she was smoking hot... So to Pat Finley... YOU ARE FRICKEN BEAUTIFUL!

ABOVE PHOTO: In the episode "The Farnsworth Stratagem" there is a scene where James Rockford and Audrey Wyatt meet with attorney Beth Davenport at a small outdoor cafe. Based on the scene's footage - you can see the old Mayberry Lincoln Mercury Ford Dealer across the street and that white house seen in the above photo (upper right hand corner) I was able to pinpoint this location as the 4400 Block of Lankershim Blvd. in North Hollywood California. The corner of Lankershim Blvd and Landale Street.
