Eliza Dushku, 25, originally from Watertown, made her fame starring in two TV series - "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Tru Calling" - and films such as "Soul Survivors," "Bring It On," and "Bye Bye Love."

Recently she gave Globe reporter Mark Shanahan a tour of her favorite Los Angeles spots.

'Mandala,' an Eastern meditative tool, hangs in the window of Bodhi Tree bookstore, one of Dushku's LA picks.
