Woodland Hills borders the Santa Monica Mountains in the San Fernando Valley section of Los Angeles.

San Diego native Lewis, who moved to California at the age of 10 from Rhode Island, worked with Eastwood in “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” “Pink Cadillac,” “Any Which Way You Can,” “Bronco Billy,” “Every Which Way but Loose,” “Thunderbolt and Lightfoot” and “High Plains Drifter.”

Geoffrey was in a lot of non-Eastwood Westerns, too.

Lewis’ nine children include actress Juliette Lewis, whose mother is graphic designer Glenis Duggan Batley. Juliette was a toddler when her parents divorced.

Juliette was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1991 as Danielle Bowden in Martin Scorsese's remake of “Cape Fear.” She received an Emmy nomination for “Hysterical Blindness” in 2003. She played Kevin Arnold’s obnoxious brother Wayne’s girlfriend on three episodes of “The Wonder Years.”

Geoffrey and Juliette were members of the Church of Scientology.

Geoffrey’s son, Lightfield Lewis, was in TV’s “The New WKRP in Cincinnati,” the one without Loni Anderson.
