I know, I can't believe it either...
Our state capital building is generally considered to be one of the most beautiful in the US and it was used as the backdrop for Eddie Murphy's film 'The Distinguished Gentleman'
The city's Riverside Park is also very photogenic and served as the backdrop for a John Travolta/Lisa Kudrow film 'Lucky Numbers'.
The Harrisburg State Hospital was used in 'Girl Interrupted'.
The baseball stadium on City Island was used in the film 'Major League II' though it was supposed to be a spring training ballpark. To make it more 'Florida', the producers brought in palm trees and told all the extras to look 'hot'.
Scenes from Harrisburg were also used on the soap opera 'One Life to Live' which is based in the fictional town of 'Lanview, Pennsylvania'.
Me, need a life?
