Early life and career
Toyah’s father ran a successful joinery business. She attended Edgbaston C of E College where she gained a GCE pass in music and trained as an actress at the Old Rep Drama School in her home town of Birmingham.
Punk era
She first became well-known during the punk rock era, her appearances in Derek Jarman’s 1977 film Jubilee and 1979′s Who album-inspired Quadrophenia launching her as a provocative and anti-establishment figure.
Singer
Fronting a band known as Toyah, her singing career was slow to take off and the band released six singles in the UK before finally hitting the charts in 1981, with “It’s a Mystery.” This was followed by several other huge hits including “Thunder In The Mountains” and “I Want to Be Free.” These singles were also successful on an international level. In the early eighties, Toyah also had her own successful make-up range called ‘Soul Searches’.
In 1982, she was voted Best Female Singer at the British Rock and Pop Awards since restyled as The BRIT Awards, or “BRITs” and in 1986 she married UK guitarist Robert Fripp. She was one of the first acts to score regularly in the UK Singles Chart with EPs. Also in 1986, Willcox sang lead on the Tony Banks track “Lion of Symmetry.” In 1987 she made the top fifty with her version of “Echo Beach.”
Toyah has released 30 albums (both as a solo artist, and part of groups), 22 of which have been studio albums, 7 of which have been UK Top 40 successes. She has 13 UK top 40 singles, making her one of the most successful female artists in British history.
In 2001, ‘Q’ magazine named Toyah number 48 in their top 100 Greatest Women in Music poll, as voted for by readers of the magazine.
In 2009, Toyah came 7th in a BBC series naming the ‘Queens of British Pop,’ as voted for by the British Public.
In 2010, Toyah will perform with her band ‘The Humans’ at the London Roundhouse ‘Haiti Earthquake Fundraiser’ concert. She will also be performing both as a solo artist and as part of ‘The Humans’ on various dates across the UK.

She is also credited with voicing the widow Fantine in Focus on the Family Radio Theatre’s version of Les Miserables. In December 2006, she joined the radio drama series Silver Street on the BBC Asian Network as Siobhan Brady.
Recent activities
In 2002, Toyah became a prominent opponent of planned accommodation centres for asylum seekers near the Worcestershire village, Throckmorton. Protesting together with more than 1000 villagers, Willcox said, “The villagers are not anti-asylum seekers and they are not racists,” adding that “It was not a simple black and white issue.” Commenting on the Government’s plans to build asylum centres in other rural areas, Toyah said “This is only the first of 15. The sheer scale is mind-boggling. This is a small country – it’s all happening illegally.”
She continues to perform with her band, releasing a live DVD in 2005, and has a busy schedule with theatre commitments, including appearing on stage in London’s West End performing the title role of Calamity Jane at the Shaftesbury Theatre in 2003.
Toyah was approached to tour Estonia by the Estonian ambassador in 2006, where she went on to form new band ‘The Humans’
In 2007, she collaborated with Bill Rieflin as The Humans for live dates in Estonia. Previews of this material can be heard at “The Humans Myspace page”. http://www.myspace.com/wearethehumans. .
Toyah is writing, recording and co-producing new solo material with long-term collaborator Simon Darlow. A preview of one of these songs, “Latex Messiah”, can be heard at Toyah’s official MySpace page as well as clips of new songs “Lesser God” and “Heal Ourselves”. Toyah is currently negotiating a worldwide publishing deal with Zomba. “Latex Messiah” was released as a single on 29 October 2007; the associated album, In The Court Of The Crimson Queen, was released on 12 September 2008.
In November 2007, Toyah took on the role of sponsoring the Black Country Urban Park for the Peoples 50M BIG Lottery. In April 2008, Toyah took part in the Great Walk To Beijing alongside other celebrities to raise money for Olivia Newton-John’s Cancer charity. In June 2008 she appeared on Living With The Dead on LivingTV to share her experiences living in her haunted home. On 24 July 2008 Toyah appeared on the UK ITV1 This Morning (TV series) to discuss her role as a vampire in rock musical Vampires Rock. As part of Liverpool’s European Capital Of Culture year, she will be performing for the first time ever at the newly opened Liverpool Echo Arena and Conference Centre. In 2009, a new version of Vampires Rock was created, called Vampires Rock Christmas, and Toyah is back in her role as the Killer Queen, next to the writer and one of the stars of the show, Steve Steinman.
On Sunday 5 July she will play at the Bents Park, South Shields in a live outdoor concert, and in October 2009 she made a guest appearance in the BBC1 drama series Casualty.
In 2009, Toyah has found continuing success with her new band ‘The Humans.

What happened in the Vampire Diaries finale? Who died? *Spoilers welcome please*?
I like in the UK and we are only on Episode 16. I really want to know what happened in Episode 22 Founders Day as I won’t get to see it for months. Please help!!! Easy 10 points for most spoilers!

Ah reponses, thankyou! cant believe they killed anna, yeah i have seen up to ep 16 but have seen bits and pieces of ep 17,18,19 online. Any other details, greatly appreciated! eg are stefan and elena still together?
You should just watch the episode online. But if you must know, alot happened in the episode, but as for people who died: Anna died, John staked her. Jeremy consumed her blood and overdosed on prescription drugs so he could turn into a vampire. John also dies in the end.
Yes, Stefan and Elena are still together. Exactly how much do you want to know? You really should just watch the episode-it’d be better that way.

The Vampire Diaries â The Most Watched Show
Freshman hit The Vampire Diaries got the official word – season two is a go! The breakout hit on the CW network will give us more Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and all the vampire/human drama we can handle.(In case you were wondering,Gossip Girl, 90210, and Supernatural also got nods for another year of shows.)
The series receiving early renewals include this season’s breakout hit The Vampire Diaries, The CW’s most-watched show (4.6 million viewers) and the network’s number one show among adults 18-34 (2.5/8).
Four months after the tragic car accident that killed their parents, 17-year-old Elena Gilbert and her 15-year-old brother, Jeremy, are still adjusting to their new reality. Elena has always been the star student; beautiful, popular and involved with school and friends, but now she finds herself struggling to hide her grief from the world.
As the school year begins at Mystic Falls High, Elena and her friends are fascinated by a handsome and mysterious new student, Stefan Salvatore. Stefan and Elena are immediately drawn to one another, although Elena is puzzled by Stefan’s increasingly bizarre behavior when he appears suddenly at the cemetery where her parents are buried. What she doesn’t realize is that Stefan is hiding a dark, deadly secret of his own – the fact that he’s a vampire.
Fearing that he knows who is responsible for the attack, Stefan returns home and finds his older brother, Damon, whom he hasn’t seen for 15 years. Damon is also a vampire, and the two brothers have a long and bitter history.
Based on the series of books by L. J. Smith, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES is from Alloy Entertainment and Bonanza Productions Inc in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios with executive producers Kevin Williamson (“Scream,” “Dawson’s Creek”), Julie Plec (“Kyle XY,” “Wasteland”), Leslie Morgenstein (“Gossip Girl,” “Private”) and Bob Levy (“Gossip Girl,” “Privileged”). Marcos Siega (“Dexter”) directed the pilot.
Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, designed by Welton Becket in 1958. Home of the Oscars award ceremony from 1961 to 1968.
The Monica, on 2nd Street, remains a highly popular art house/independent film theater.
The Santa Monica Hippodrome (carousel) is a National Historic Landmark. It sits on the Santa Monica Pier, which was built in 1909. The La Monica Ballroom on the pier was once the largest ballroom in the US, and the source for many New Year’s Eve national network broadcasts. The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium was an important music venue for several decades and hosted the Academy Awards in the 1960s. McCabe’s Guitar Shop is still a leading acoustic performance space, as well as retail outlet. Bergamot Station is a city-owned art gallery compound that includes the Santa Monica Museum of Art. The city is also home to the Santa Monica Heritage Museum.
Santa Monica is the home of the Third Street Promenade, a major outdoor pedestrian-oriented shopping district that stretches for three blocks between Wilshire Blvd. and Broadway (not the same Broadway in downtown and south Los Angeles). Third Street has been closed for those three blocks and converted to a pedestrians-only stretch to allow people to congregate, shop and enjoy street performers. Santa Monica Place, the indoor mall designed by Frank Gehry, is located just to the south. It’s been closed for redevelopment, and is expected to reopen in spring 2010 as a modern shopping-entertainment complex with more outdoor space.
Santa Monica hosts the annual Santa Monica Film Festival.
The oldest movie theater in the city is the Majestic. Also known as the Mayfair Theatre, the theater which opened in 1912 has been closed since the 1994 Northridge earthquake. The Aero Theater (now operated by the American Cinematheque) and Criterion Theater were built in the 1930s and still show movies. The Santa Monica Promenade alone supports more than a dozen movie screens.
Palisades Park stretches out along the crumbling bluffs overlooking the Pacific and is a favorite walking area to view the ocean. It features a camera obscura. For 48 years local churches and the Police Association assembled a 12-tableau story of Christmas in Palisades Park. The sheds were open on the street side, protected by chain-link fencing (for years there was no fencing because vandalism was not yet a large problem). Inside were dioramas of the Holy Family made from store mannequins; critics argued that many of them did not resemble real people, were damaged, or were otherwise inappropriate. In 2001 the city decided to temporarily end the practice of allowing private groups to place displays in city parks, but in 2004 the Christmas displays returned.
The Santa Monica Steps, a long, steep staircase that leads from north of San Vicente down into Santa Monica Canyon, is a popular spot for all-natural outdoor workouts. Some area residents have complained that the stairs have become too popular, and attract too many exercisers to the wealthy neighborhood of multimillion-dollar properties.
Natives and tourists alike have enjoyed the Santa Monica Rugby Club since 1972. The club has been very successful since its conception, most recently winning back-to-back national championships in 2005 and 2006. Santa Monica defeated the Boston Irish Wolfhounds 57-19 in the Division 1 final, convincingly claiming its second consecutive American title on June 4, 2006, in San Diego. They offer Men’s, Women’s and a thriving children’s programs. The club recently joined the Rugby Super League.
Every fall the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce hosts The Taste of Santa Monica on the Santa Monica Pier. Visitors can sample food and drinks from Santa Monica restaurants. Other annual events include the Business and Consumer Expo, Sustainable Quality Awards, Santa Monica Cares Health and Wellness Festival, and the State of the City.
Santa Monica is an international mecca for skateboarding culture.[citation needed]
Santa Monica has two hospitals: Saint John’s Health Center and Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center. Its cemetery is Woodlawn Memorial.
Santa Monica has several newspapers and magazines, including the: Santa Monica Daily Press, the Santa Monica Mirror, the Santa Monica Observer Newspaper, Santa Monica Magazine, and the Santa Monica Sun.
Education
Elementary and secondary schools
The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District provides public education at the elementary and secondary levels. Private schools in the city include the Crossroads School, New Roads School, Concord High School, Pacifica Christian High, St. Anne Catholic School, Lighthouse Christian Academy and Saint Monica Catholic High School. Notable primary schools include the Carlthorp School and Santa Monica Montessori School.
Post-secondary
Santa Monica College is a community college founded in 1929. Many SMC graduates transfer to the University of California system. It occupies 35 acres (14 hectares) and enrolls 30,000 students annually. The Frederick S. Pardee RAND Graduate School, associated with the RAND Corporation, is the U.S.’s largest producer of public policy Ph.D.s. The Art Institute of California Los Angeles is also located in Santa Monica near the Santa Monica Airport, though many are misled to believe the institute is in the city of Los Angeles because of its name.
Universities and colleges within a 15-mile (24 km) radius from Santa Monica include Los Angeles City College, Los Angeles Southwest College, Los Angeles Valley College, Loyola Marymount University, Mount St. Mary’s College, Pepperdine University, California State University, Northridge, California State University, Los Angeles, UCLA, USC, West Los Angeles College and West Valley Occupational Center.
Transportation
The Santa Monica Freeway (Interstate 10) begins in Santa Monica near the Pacific Ocean and heads east. The Santa Monica Freeway between Santa Monica and downtown Los Angeles has the distinction of being one of the busiest highways in all of North America. After traversing Los Angeles County, I-10 crosses seven more states, terminating at Jacksonville, Florida. In Santa Monica, there is a road sign designating this route as the Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway . State Route 2 (Santa Monica Boulevard) begins in Santa Monica, barely grazing State Route 1 at Lincoln Boulevard, and continues northeast across Los Angeles County, through the Angeles National Forest, crossing the San Gabriel Mountains as the Angeles Crest Highway, ending in Wrightwood. Santa Monica is also the western (Pacific) terminus of historic U.S. Route 66. Close to the eastern boundary of Santa Monica, Sepulveda Boulevard reaches from Long Beach at the south, to the northern end of the San Fernando Valley. Just east of Santa Monica is Interstate 405, the “San Diego Freeway”, a major north-south route in Los Angeles County and Orange County, California.
On the other hand, City of Santa Monica has purchased the first ZeroTruck all-electric medium duty truck. The vehicle will be equipped with a Scelzi utility body, it is based on the Isuzu N series chassis, a UQM PowerPhase 100 advanced electric motor and is the only US built electric truck offered for sale in the United States in 2009.
Bus
The city of Santa Monica runs its own bus service, the Big Blue Bus, which also serves much of West Los Angeles and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). A Big Blue Bus was featured prominently in the action movie Speed.
The city of Santa Monica is also served by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s bus lines. Metro also complements Big Blue service, as when Big Blue routes are not operational overnight, Metro buses make many Big Blue Bus stops, in addition to MTA stops. It currently has no rail service but Metro is working on bringing light rail to Santa Monica in the form of the Exposition Line. Since the mid-1980s, various proposals have been made to extend the Purple Line subway to Santa Monica under Wilshire Boulevard. However, to this day, no plans to complete the “subway to the sea” are imminent, owing to the difficulty of funding the estimated $5 billion project. In the past, Santa Monica had rail service operated by the Pacific Electric Railway, until it was dismantled in the 1960s.
Airport and ports
The city owns and operates a general aviation airport, Santa Monica Airport, which has been the site of several important aviation achievements. Commercial flights are available for residents at Los Angeles International Airport, a few miles south of Santa Monica.
Like other cities in Los Angeles County, Santa Monica is dependent upon the Port of Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles for international ship cargo. In the 1890s, Santa Monica was once in competition with Wilmington, Calif., and San Pedro for recognition as the “Port of Los Angeles” (see History of Santa Monica, California).
Medical services
Two major hospitals are within the Santa Monica city limits, UCLA Santa Monica Hospital and St. John’s Hospital. There are five fire stations providing medical and fire response- Fire Units 121-125. Santa Monica Fire used to be dispatched from within the city. However, SMFD is now incorporated into the Operation Command Dispatch (OCD) system for Los Angeles City Fire Department. Ambulance transportation is provided by Gerber Ambulance Services.
Geography

Santa Monica is situated at 341’19″ North, 11828’53″ West (34.022059, -118.481336).
The city rests on a mostly flat slope that angles down towards Ocean Avenue and towards the south. High bluffs separate the north side of the city from the beaches.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has an area of 41.2 km (15.9 mi); 21.4 km (8.3 mi) of land. Its borders extend three nautical miles (5.6 km) out to sea, and so 19.8 km (7.7 mi) of it is water for a total area that is 48.08% water.
Climate

Santa Monica enjoys an average of 310 days of sunshine a year. Because of its location, nestled on the vast and open Santa Monica Bay, morning fog is a common phenomenon in May, June and early July (caused by ocean temperature variations and currents). Locals have a particular terminology for this phenomenon: the “May Gray” and the “June Gloom”. Overcast skies are common for June mornings, but usually the strong sun burns the fog off by noon. Nonetheless, it will sometimes stay cloudy and cool all day during June, even as other parts of the Los Angeles area enjoy sunny skies and warmer temperatures. At times, the sun shines east of 20th St., while the beach area is overcast.
As a general rule, the beach temperature is from 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit (3 to 5.5 degrees Celsius) cooler than it is inland. A typical spring day (Mid-April) is sunny, pleasant and about 68 F (20 C). In the summer, which stretches from May to late October, temperatures can reach the mid-80′s Fahrenheit (about 30 C) at the beach. The average temperature for August is 71 F (21 C). September is the warmest month of the year in Santa Monica, with an average of 73.2 F (22 C). It is also in September that high temperature records tend to be broken. In early September 2004, 92 F (33 C) to 98 F (33 C to 37 C) were recorded.
In early November, it is about 68 F (20 C). In late January, temperatures are around 63 F (17 C). It is winter, however, when the hot, dry winds of the Santa Anas are most common. In mid-December 2004, temperatures soared to 84 F (28 C) in Santa Monica, for a few straight days, with perfectly sunny skies. In contrast, temperatures exceeding 10 degrees below average are rare.
The rainy season is from late October through late March. Winter storms usually approach from the northwest and pass quickly through the Southland. There is very little rain during the rest of the year. Yearly rainfall totals are unpredictable as rainy years are occasionally followed by droughts.
Santa Monica usually enjoys a cool breeze blowing in from the ocean, keeping the air fresh and clean. Therefore, smog is less of a problem for Santa Monica than elsewhere around Los Angeles. However, in the autumn months of September through November, the Santa Ana winds will sometimes blow from the east, bringing smoggy inland air to the beaches.

Environment
The city is well known as one of the leading sustainable cities in all of the US.[who?] Three of every four of the city public works vehicles run on alternative fuel, making it among the largest such fleets in the country. All public buildings use renewable energy. In the last 15 years, the city has cut greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 10 per cent, a feat in car-crazy Southern California. City officials and residents have made the ongoing cleanup of the Santa Monica Bay a priority an urban runoff facility catches 3.5 million gallons of water each week that would otherwise flow into the bay. Other environmental features include miles of beaches, extensive curbside recycling, farmer markets, community gardens, and the city bus system.

Headquarters of Activision
Santa Monica is home to the headquarters of many notable businesses, including Lions Gate Films, Experian subsidiary LowerMyBills.com, the RAND Corporation, investment firm Dimensional Fund Advisors, search engine company Business.com, and film / television production company and record label The Playtone Company, headed by actor Tom Hanks and producer Gary Goetzman. Major companies with branch offices in Santa Monica include: Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Universal, MTV and Edmunds.com. The Design Center California for Volkswagen, formerly located in Simi Valley, moved to the former site of the Museum Of Flying at the Santa Monica Airport in 2006. Volkswagen’s only styling studio in North America has been responsible for many notable automotive designs, including The New Beetle and The Audi Road Jet concept seen at the Detroit Car Show. The offices for the Comedy Central show South Park are located in Santa Monica. Supermarine, now Atlantic Aviation, is at the Santa Monica Airport.[citation needed]
A number of game development studios are based in Santa Monica, making it a major location for the industry. These include:
Activision
High Impact Games (Work with the PSP system and creators of Ratchet: Size Matters)
Insomniac Games (Creators of Spyro the Dragon (19982000), Ratchet & Clank and Resistance franchises)
Naughty Dog (Creators of Crash Bandicoot (19961999), Jak & Daxter and Uncharted franchises)
SCE Studios Santa Monica
Studio Santa Monica (An in-house studio of SCE and creators of God of War)
Former Santa Monica businesses include Douglas Aircraft (now merged with Boeing) and MySpace (now headquartered in Beverly Hills).[citation needed] In December 1996, GeoCities was headquartered on the third floor of 1918 Main Street in Santa Monica.
Crime
In 2006, crime in Santa Monica affected 4.41% of the population, slightly lower than the national average crime rate that year of 4.48%. The majority of this was property crime, which affected 3.74% of Santa Monica’s population in 2006; this was higher than the rates for Los Angeles County (2.76%) and California (3.17%), but lower than the national average (3.91%). These per-capita crime rates are computed based on Santa Monica’s full-time population of about 85,000. However, the Santa Monica Police Department has suggested the actual per-capita crime rate is much lower, as tourists, workers, and beachgoers can increase the city’s daytime population to between 250,000 and 450,000 people.
Violent crimes affected 0.67% of the population in Santa Monica in 2006, in line with Los Angeles County (0.65%), but higher than the averages for California (0.53%) and the nation (0.55%).
Hate crime has typically been minimal in Santa Monica, with only one reported incident in 2007. However, the city experienced a spike of anti-Islamic hate crime in 2001, following the attacks of September 11. Hate crime levels returned to their minimal 2000 levels by 2002.
In 2006, Santa Monica voters passed “Measure Y” with a 65% majority, which moved the issuance of citations for marijuana smoking to the bottom of the police priority list. A 2009 study by the Santa Monica Daily Press showed that since the law took effect in 2007, the Santa Monica Police had “not issued any citations for offenses involving the adult, personal use of marijuana inside private residences.”
Gang activity
While gentrification has transformed much of the city, some areas of Santa Monica experience gang activity. The city estimates that there are fewer than 50 gang members in Santa Monica, although some community organizers dispute this claim. Gang activity has been prevalent for decades in the Pico neighborhood, particularly the portion of the area running roughly from 14th Street to just east of Cloverfield, and between Pico Boulevard and Colorado Ave. This war has sporadically spilled into the halls of Santa Monica High School and impacts daily life for students at Olympic High School (at the corner of Ocean Park Blvd and Lincoln Blvd). These various feuds have claimed dozens of lives over more than two decades.
Culver/Pico feud
One of the most violent feuds was between Latino Santa Monica 13 gangs and the rival Culver City 13 gang. In 1998, five shooting deaths occurred in a two week period between these two gangs.
In October 1998, alleged Culver City 13 gang member Omar Sevilla, 21, of Culver City was killed. A couple of hours after the shooting of Sevilla, German tourist Horst Fietze was killed. Several days later Juan Martin Campos, age 23, a Santa Monica City employer and former gang member was shot and killed. Police believe this was a retaliatory killing in response to the death of Omar Sevilla. Less than twenty-four hours later, Javier Cruz was wounded outside his home on 17th and Michigan, a violence riddled pocket of the Pico area.
In 2006, there was a double homicide in the Westside Clothing store on Lincoln Boulevard. During the incident, Culver City gang members David “Puppet” Robles and Jesse “Psycho” Garcia entered the store masked and began opening fire, killing Anthony and Michael Juarez. They then ran outside to a getaway vehicle driven by a third Culver City gang member, who is now also in custody. The clothing store was believed to be a local hang out for Santa Monica gang members. The dead included two men from Northern California who had merely been visiting the store’s owner, their cousin, to see if they could open a similar store in their area. Police say the incident was in retaliation for a shooting committed by the Santa Monica 13 gang days before the Juarez brothers were gunned down.
Aside from the rivalry with the Culver City gang, Black and Latino Pico gang members also feud with the Venice and West Los Angeles gangs. The main rivals in these regions include Venice 13, and Venice Shoreline Crips gangs located in the Oakwood area of Venice, CA. The Sotel 13 gang located in West Los Angeles has long been the main rival of Santa Monica’s Latino gangs.
In popular culture
Film and television
Hundreds of movies have been shot or set in part within the city of Santa Monica. One of the oldest exterior shots in Santa Monica is Buster Keaton Spite Marriage (1929) which shows much of 2nd Street. The comedy It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) included several scenes shot in Santa Monica, including those along the California Street incline, which led to the movie’s treasure spot, “The Big W”. The Sylvester Stallone movie Rocky III (1982) shows Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed training to fight Clubber Lang by running on the Santa Monica Beach, and Stallone’s Demolition Man (1993) includes Santa Monica settings. Henry Jaglom’s indie Someone to Love (1987), the last film in which Orson Welles appeared, takes place in Santa Monica’s venerable Mayfair Theatre. Heathers (1989) used Santa Monica’s John Adams Middle School for many exterior shots. The Truth About Cats & Dogs (1996) is set entirely in Santa Monica, particularly the Palisades Park area, and features a radio station that resembles KCRW at Santa Monica College. 17 Again (2009) was shot at Samo High. Other movies that show significant exterior shots Santa Monica include Fletch (1985), Get Shorty (1995), and Ocean’s Eleven (2001).
The documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys (2001) and the related dramatic film Lords of Dogtown (2005) are both about the influential skateboarding culture of Santa Monica’s Ocean Park neighborhood in the ’70s.
The Santa Monica Pier is shown in many movies, including They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? (1969), The Sting (1973), Ruthless People (1986), Beverly Hills Cop III (1994), Clean Slate (1994), Forrest Gump (1994), The Net (1995), Love Stinks (1999), Cellular (2004) and Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009).
A number of television series have been set in Santa Monica, including Baywatch, Three’s Company, Pacific Blue, and Private Practice. In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the main exterior set of the town of Sunnydale, including the infamous “sun sign”, was located in Santa Monica in a lot on Olympic Boulevard.
The movies The Doors (1991) and Speed (1994) featured Santa Monica’s Big Blue Bus.
The city of Santa Monica (and in particular the Santa Monica airport) was featured in Roland Emmerich’s disaster film 2012 (2009). An earthquake destroys the airport and the surrounding area as a group of survivors escape in a personal plane.
Literature
Raymond Chandler’s most famous character, private detective Philip Marlowe, frequently has a portion of his adventures in a place called “Bay City”, which is modeled on depression-era Santa Monica. In Marlowe’s world, Bay City is “a wide-open town”, where gambling and other crimes thrive due to a massively corrupt and ineffective police force.
The setting on a certain portion of Mitch Albom’s book, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, has similarities to the Pacific Pier located along the Santa Monica beach. In the book, it is named Ruby Pier. Mitch Albom even acknowledged the Pacific Pier for its cooperation.
Music
The band “Linkin Park” was named after the Lincoln Park in Santa Monica.
The modern rock band Theory of a Deadman’s song titled “Santa Monica”, is a first-person account about a girl leaving her significant other to start a new life in Santa Monica.
The band Everclear released a song titled “Santa Monica” in 1995, which became their first mainstream hit.
The band Savage Garden also released a song titled “Santa Monica” off their #3 US album Savage Garden (1997).
The ska/reggae band, Bedouin Soundclash has a song entitled “Santa Monica”.
One of the few songs that musical satirist Tom Lehrer has recorded since the 1970s is a tribute to the holidays of the Jewish calendar entitled “I’m Spending Hanukkah in Santa Monica”.
Santa Monica is referenced throughout Jack’s Mannequin’s debut album Everything In Transit.
In 1968, British singer-songwriter Noel Harrison released a song and album titled Santa Monica Pier.
In 1948, bandleader Kay Kyser released a 78 record of the novelty song “When Veronica Plays the Harmonica (Down at the Pier in Santa Monica).”

I think it might be the ‘Doctor’s theme’, I’ve heard it a lot. I don’t know what the official name is though, but people usually upload them onto youtube song enough. In the modern series, all Doctor’s and companions have had a theme song.
