Fact text
- George Lucas wrote much of the original Star Wars script in a back room of his San Anselmo Victorian home, sharing the space with a gaudy Wurlitzer jukebox.
- Lucas screened an early, effects-free cut of Star Wars at his San Anselmo house for a small audience that included Spielberg, Scorsese, and De Palma.
- Van Morrison wrote the song 'Snow in San Anselmo' about an unusual winter storm he witnessed while living just next door in Fairfax in the 1970s.
- A cast-iron deer statue named 'Sugarfoot' has stood in town since 1963, and kids still climb on his back after visits to the library next door.
- San Anselmo was a silent film capital in the early 1900s, not bad for a town most people today associate with antique shops.
