    ‘ Yesterday, while killing time before an acting class, I decided to stop into the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel which is attached to the famous Hollywood & Highland shopping center.

    ‘ Hold on to your hats, my fellow stalkers, ‘cause today’s post is going to be a long one!  A couple of months ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up to let me know that he had just watched a screener of the 2012 biopic Hitchcock (he works at a high-profile production company) and, knowing…

This past December while on vacation in New York, I happened to walk by a building that I immediately recognized as the “Poise”…

    The “Mask” House

    ‘ While I realize that I still have quite a few posts to publish from my recent stalking trip to the Palmdale/Lancaster area (including the Four Aces and Club Ed movie sets), as well as a few filming-related posts to write from my nuptials last August (most notably the venue), I decided to dedicate today’s…

    The Cellular House

    ‘ Back in September of last year, while stalking the house from fave 80s movie License to Drive, I just happened to stumble upon another famous movie home – Kim Basinger’”‘”‘s residence from the 2004 flick Cellular.  Well, truth be told, “stumble upon” isn’”‘”‘t exactly the terminology I should be using here. 🙂  The real story is that while taking…

  • The Liar Liar House

    The Liar Liar House

    ‘ One of the movie houses I have long been obsessed with finding is the home from the Jim Carrey movie Liar Liar. The house in the movie is absolutely adorable, very picturesque and I so badly wanted to see it in person. I happened to mention the Liar Liar house to Mike, from MovieShotsLA,a…

  • The Women’s Exchange from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    The Women’s Exchange from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    ‘ Last year, I had incredible luck getting access to filming locations typically closed to the public.  While visiting New York in April, I was granted tours of three non-accessible places that I literally would have given my eye teeth to see.  Thankfully, none of my friendly tour guides collected on that offer.  (And yes,…

  • Aunt Mitsy’s House from “Rumor Has It”

    Aunt Mitsy’s House from “Rumor Has It”

    ‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for what seems like ages now is the home where Aunt Mitsy (aka Kathy Bates) lived in the 2005 movie Rumor Has It.  Even though I was never a particularly big fan of the flick, I pretty much fell in love with Aunt Mitsy’s…
