Greystone Mansion
‘ While most mansions in Beverly Hills are well hidden from prying eyes thanks to tall gates and large trees, there is one that is open to the public on a regular basis and it’”‘”‘s called Greystone Mansion. The 46,000 square foot mansion was commissioned in 1928 by millionaire Edward L. Doheny as a gift…

Amanda Peet’s Apartment Building from “A Lot Like Love”
‘ One of my favorite romantic comedies of all time is A Lot Like Love starring Amanda Peet and Ashton Kutcher – and while I was watching it I absolutely fell in love with the building used as Amanda Peet’”‘”‘s apartment. But as hard as I tried, I couldn’”‘”‘t seem to find this location by…

Eric Hamber Secondary School from “Juno”
‘ The third and final Juno filming location that I stalked while in Vancouver last month was the supposed Minneapolis-area Dancing Elk High School – the learning institution attended by Juno MacGuff (aka Ellen Page), her dorky baby-daddy Paulie Bleeker (aka Michael Cera), and her absolutely hilarious best friend, Leah (aka Olivia Thirlby).

The “L.A. Story” Intersection
‘ The locale from L.A. Story that I was most interested in tracking down was also the one that I thought for sure I would never find – the intersection featured in the movie’s opening montage. Because the intersection was fairly non-descript, only shown briefly and no clues as to its location visible in the…

Rod Tidwell’s House from “Jerry Maguire”
‘ People often ask me about my most-wanted unfound locations. Currently, the one that tops my list is the mansion where this Beverly Hills, 90210 publicity photo was taken.

The Former Site of the “Doogie Howser, M.D.” House
