    A Free View of Universal Studio’s “War of the Worlds” Set!

    ‘ Many moons ago, shortly after we first met, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me to a place that quickly became one of my very favorite “only in L.A.” spots –  a residential street from which the Universal Studios War of the Worlds plane crash set is visible.  And even though I always make it a…

    ‘ As a child, I remember often hearing about the weekly delivery of roses that Joe DiMaggio sent to the grave of his former wife, Miss Marilyn Monroe, for two full decades.  This was long before my obsession with the blonde bombshell had taken hold, but the gesture stuck with me as an extraordinary act…

    Taking a Day Off!

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I spent the past weekend visiting my parents in Palm Springs, so I, unfortunately, did not have time to write a new blog post for today.  But I did run into actor Jeremy London while at The Living Desert on Sunday, which was a total thrill!  He was incredibly nice and not…

    A New York State of Mind . . .
