 The steps are also referenced in "The Laurel and Hardy Love Affair", a short story by Ray Bradbury, as the meeting place of the couple in the story, who call each other Ollie and Stan in homage to the comedic duo.The staircase is not the same one used by The Three Stooges in their 1941 film "An Ache in Every Stake".Those stairs (147 steps in length) are approximately two miles northeast, located at 2212 Edendale Place in the Silver Lake district of Los Angeles.
