The Fast and the Furious came out 14 years ago, and it’s now one of the most successful film franchises ever. If you haven’t seen the movie or its six sequels, here’s what you need to know: fast cars, crazy stunts, and a great-looking cast. Fast and Furious movies have grossed almost $4 billion worldwide. They’ve made big action stars out of Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and the late Paul Walker. And they’ve made a star out of one ordinary house in Echo Park. Press Play producer Anna Scott has more, for our new series “L.A. Dwellings.”

"Toretto's House" from 'The Fast and the Furious,' located on East Kensington Road in Echo Park
