Cast & CrewSightings

The Alluvian Happy Hour - 318 Howard Street:

This Thursday night mainstay withlive music and specialty cocktails was

popular with actors and crew.

Giardina’s - 314 Howard Street: Adjacent to The Alluvian Hotel,

Giardina’s has been providing fi ne dining with a Delta-casual atmosphere since

1936. Giardina’s features steaks,seafood, and Italian cuisine in private

booths and a dining area.

Delta Bistro - 117 Main Street: Chef Taylor Bowen Ricketts’ eclecticDelta cuisine made regulars out of

producer Chris Columbus, director Tate Taylor, The Help author Kathryn Stockett, pro-

ducer Brunson Green, and actorsAhna O’Reilly, Octavia Spencer, andLeslie Jordan. Ted Danson and MarySteenburgen were also spotted here.

Crystal Grill - 423 Carrollton AvenueCorner of Lamar Street:

They are world-famous for their mile-high meringue, veal cutlets, and largest menu

selection around. If you want to understand

how a pie so delicious and coveted could be the cornerstone of a Junior League auction,

try any of the made-fresh-daily ones foryourself. Cat Cora recommends the Lemon Ice Box pie, featured on the Food Network’s

“The Best Thing I Ever Ate.”

Lusco’s - 722 Carrollton Avenue: Delta heritage made this restaurant

popular with cast and crew. Having been around since the 1920s, this step back in time began as a market where Mrs. Lusco

sold spaghetti. Mr. Lusco built dining rooms with curtains so customers could imbibe during prohibition times. The decor has changed very little, and today Lusco’s is

widely known for their steaks, onion rings, and pompano.

Webster’s -216 West Claiborne Avenue:

A gem of a restaurant since 1975,Webster’s is perfect for casual dining and

made a great kick-off party spot for the cast and crew and for hanging out after fi lming.

Serio’s - 506 Yalobusha Street:

Formerly Yianni’s, their outdoor patio was a popular gathering spot of the extras

and crew. Serio’s serves their family’s Sicilian specialties including various pastas, pizzas,

salads and sandwiches.

Tallahatchie Tavern - Money Road: This refurbished commissary on the

grounds of Tallahatchie Flats was a castand crew favorite, even to celebrate

the last day of shooting.

TurnRow Café - 304 Howard Street: Upstairs at TurnRow Books is a cafe

that became an almost-daily hangout forthe directors and producers. Kenny’s now-

famous gazpacho, a vegan’s seasonal delight, is made with all local ingredients

and became a favorite of Emma Stone and Bryce Dallas Howard. Signed copies

of The Help are sometimes to be found downstairs in the bookstore.

Front Street/Cotton Row: On the banks of the Yazoo River,

cast and crew said goodbye to the many friends they had made at the wrap party. A blues band played as fi reworks went

off over the river, giving them anemotional Delta sendoff.

Where theStars Stayed

Alluvian Spa - 325 Howard Street: Cast and crew members took advantage of some rare downtime relaxing at The Alluvian

Spa, including Delta-centric treatments such as Sweet Tea pedicures, Sweet Magnolia

facials, and Three Rivers body scrubs.

The Alluvian - 318 Howard Street: The Alluvian boasts 45 luxurious roomsand fi ve spacious suites. The building

originally opened as the Hotel Irving in1917 and closed in the 1980s. In 2003, after

an amazing transformation, The Alluvian Hotel was opened for business. Accolades include listings on Conde Nast Traveler’s

Gold List, Conde Nast Traveler’s Best Hotels in the World, and holder of the AAA Four

Diamond Award.

Bellashon - 805 Poplar Street& Park Avenue:

This glorious home known as “Bellashon” was rented by producer and Mississippi

native Brunson Green.

101 East President:Tate Taylor, the movie’s director,

rented this Colonial Revival home, which is the only home on Grand Boulevard that

faces another street. One of the fi rst homes on the Boulevard, it predates the development of the boulevard-facing homes and is known

for its Ionic columns and fi nely detailed geometric patterns in the dormer windows.

Bellehaven - 411 Crockett Street:Emma Stone arrived in Greenwood to

play Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan, and chose to stay at the lovely Bellehaven home on Crockett. Bellehaven, a piece of Southern history, was

built in 1902 and renovated in the 1970s.

On May 13, 2010, DreamWorksStudios formally announced that

a motion picture based onMississippi native Kathryn Stockett’s bestselling novelThe Help would be filmed in

Greenwood and surrounding areas. We became home for several months

to cast members such as Emma Stone, Bryce Dallas Howard, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer,Mike Vogel, Allison Janney,

Sissy Spacek, Jessica Chastain,Ahna O’Reilly, Cicely Tyson, Dana Ivey,

Chris Lowell, Aunjanue Ellis, Leslie Jordan, Mary Steenbergen,and many more. Enjoy this tourof a special place that became

home to The Help.

Skeeter (Emma Stone) runs to a favorite spot outdoors, a small bench under a tree, and remembers

how Constantine comforted her when she wasn’t asked to a dance. Skeeter’s home is actually Whittington Plantation on Money Road, just outside of town.

Find where Minny Jackson (Octavia Spencer) offers the “special pie” to Hilly Holbrook (Bryce Dallas

Howard) at the Johnson Residence on Grand Boulevard.

Minny improves Celia Foote’s (Jessica Chastain) poor cooking skills by teaching her how to make fried

chicken on her fi rst day. These scenes were fi lmed at the Cotesworth home, located in Carroll County.
