From the glitzy estates made famous by James Bond to a Manhattan townhouse made famous by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, movies and TV possess the power to catapult houses into the realm of the iconic. Remember Cameron Frye's midcentury number in the 1986 cult classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Cam's home, of course, is one of the coolest, and certainly most memorable, of the film's many locations, a sleek, glass, cantilevered box teetering in the middle of the woods near Lake Michigan in Highland Park, Ill. The place was listed four times between May 2009 and March 2011, but the property, which first hit the market for $2.3M, hasn't actually sold. And that's despite some rather unorthodox pleas for staging furniture made by the listing agents. Anyway, brush up on the history of 16 pieces of showbiz real estate below—and feel free to drop suggestions for the sequel in the comments.
