August 11, 1998... "Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Heather Graham and Frank Oz were in Long Beach on Pine Avenue for a couple of weeks (end of July-beg. of Aug) doing a bunch of shots including one of Martin trying to kidnap Murphy inside a swank men's clothing store. Martin dresses like a geek (sports jacket, shorts, beret, saddle shoes). Murphy looks cool." [Reported by 'Long Beacher'.]
