San Fernando California is significant to Frankenstein because this is where Marilyn Harris was born, placed into an orphanage, and then forced into the film industry by her adopted parents. Harris once said her adopted mother forced her into the industry because of her own failed acting career. Although most of her work was done in Los Angeles for Frankenstein and other notable works like Rin Tin Tin, San Fernando is where her career began. I found this information from The Movie Database, I would say this website is an example of low barriers to entry as it requires little effort to participate, any user can add or edit to any data. Mapping this location on COVE lets students in this class build off what I have found about Marilyn Harris and possibly do some of their own research on her, there is not much out there but I am sure a very dedicated person could find something more detailed.
I was unable to find the orphanage she was placed in nor her adopted home, but this is Malibou Lake in Agoura Hills, California where the scene where Marilyn Harris who plays Little Maria was thrown in, was filmed.
