  • Bette Davis’ House from “Feud”

    Bette Davis’ House from “Feud”

    ‘ My favorite Big Little Lies quote belongs to Madeline Martha Mackenzie (Reese Witherspoon), who, in response to Celeste Wright (Nicole Kidman) advising her to let something go, quips, “I love my grudges.  I tend to them like little pets.”  A woman after my own heart, I swear!  Oh yes, I am a definite grudge-holder. …

  • The “Portal” Light Installation

    The “Portal” Light Installation

    ‘ Today’s locale can be filed in the hidden-gem-that-is-not-a-filming-location category, much like the Barthman Sidewalk Clock in New York.  (Well, it’”‘”‘s not really a filming location, but more on that in a bit.)  This one is located in Los Angeles, though, and is a definite must-see under-the-radar spot.  Looking back, I can’t remember how I…

  • Parisian Florist – The Flower Shop Joe DiMaggio Used to Send Roses to Marilyn Monroe’s Gravesite for 20 Years

    Parisian Florist – The Flower Shop Joe DiMaggio Used to Send Roses to Marilyn Monroe’s Gravesite for 20 Years

    ‘ 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…

  • The “A Few Good Men” Softball Field

    The “A Few Good Men” Softball Field

    ‘ I don’t know – or care – much about sports.  I do love me some Tom Cruise, though.  So when my friend/fellow stalker Owen, from the When Write Is Wrong blog, sent me his list of Washington, D.C./Philadelphia-area locales prior to my trip back east last September, I was thrilled to see the softball…

  • The Miramonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells

    The Miramonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells

    ‘ One Palm-Springs-area hotel that I have long wanted to vacation at – not because it is a filming location, but because it is just simply beautiful – is the Miramonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells.  The Grim Cheaper and I ate dinner at the resort once upon a time many years back and…

  • Gramma-Jess’ House from “Poltergeist II: The Other Side”

    Gramma-Jess’ House from “Poltergeist II: The Other Side”

    ‘ I have never seen Poltergeist, which, considering my love of the ‘80s and all things spooky, is rather shocking.  I tried to remedy the situation this past weekend, but the Grim Cheaper was having none of it, unfortunately.  I did recently stalk a location from the sequel, Poltergeist II: The Other Side, though.  I…

  • My Weekend with Michael Buble!

    My Weekend with Michael Buble!

    ‘ This past weekend was an absolute whirlwind – so much so that I am still trying to process the whole thing. It all started a couple of weeks back when I received a phone call from a good friend who informed me that the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, of which he is…

  • Charlie’s Apartment Building from “Monster-in-Law”

    Charlie’s Apartment Building from “Monster-in-Law”

    ‘ The third and final Monster-in-Law locale that I set out to find this past weekend was the supposed Venice Beach area apartment building where Charlie Cantilini (aka Jennifer Lopez) lived in the flick.  Fellow stalker Nick had already determined that the Spanish-style building was located somewhere in Hollywood, so from there I set out…

  • Beverly Hills, 90291

    Beverly Hills, 90291

    ‘ A few weeks back while I was out stalking the Californication house, Mike (from MovieShotsLA) and I set out on a mission to find Kelly Taylor‘”‘”‘s house from the new 90210 series. I had been searching for the house for quite some time and on this particular day I called Mike at work (poor…

  • The Coffee Gallery from “The Office”

    The Coffee Gallery from “The Office”

    ‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, told me about a coffee house in Altadena named the Coffee Gallery which was featured in the Season 4 episode of The Office titled “Chair Model”.  He figured that because the place was both a coffee shop and a filming location that it would be right up…
