STORY & PHOTOS

Amazon's Golden Globe-winning dramedy "Transparent" is set in Los Angeles and uses the city to set a rich backdrop for its stories. The characters and settings are so L.A.; it's a case of a show making great use of its filming locations.

Ali lives in a mid-city apartment, and producers use the Los Altos Apartments as the exterior of her building.

The building has an interesting history, and stars like Clara Bow, Mae West, and Bette Davis all lived there at one point or another. It has also been seen on the show "Angel", standing in for the Hyperion Hotel, which becomes the group's de facto home base beginning in the second season.
