  • The Fine Arts Building from “The Morning Show”

    The Fine Arts Building from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ Considering I’ve been at this crazy hobby of mine for twenty years now, you’d think I’d have stalked every square inch of Los Angeles.  While watching the second episode of The Morning Show, though, I was reminded of a site I had yet to set foot in – downtown’s Fine Arts Building.  I’d heard…

  • The “License to Drive” Hospital

    The “License to Drive” Hospital

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, the Grim Cheaper and I headed to L.A. for a brief visit and just happened to book a hotel on the west side of town for our stay.  The location turned out to be quite fortuitous, too, as it allowed me to stalk a few nearby spots that had…

  • The Cree Estate in Cathedral City

    The Cree Estate in Cathedral City

    ‘ While doing research on Las-Vegas-Dunes-Hotel-owner Charlie “Kewpie” Rich’s former Palm Springs home, which I blogged about last Tuesday, I came across some information about another Coachella Valley location where my girl Jen Aniston and former-husband Brad Pitt had once vacationed.  The property is known as the historic Cree Estate in Cathedral City and it…

  • The Stuart Building from “That Thing You Do!”

    The Stuart Building from “That Thing You Do!”

    ‘ Back in early October, upon returning home from doing some That Thing You Do! stalking in Orange (you can read my posts on the locations I stalked here, here and here), I popped in my DVD of the 1996 flick to re-watch it for the first time in years.  I was absolutely shocked –…

  • The Carlyle Hotel

    The Carlyle Hotel

    ‘ Yet another of my favorite New York haunts is the ultra-exclusive Carlyle Hotel, located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.  I blogged about the Carlyle’s famous Bemelman’s Bar, which was featured in Sex and the City: The Movie, after last year’s trip to the Big Apple, but didn’t include much information on the actual hotel…

  • Vitello’s Italian Restaurant from “The Deep End of the Ocean”

    Vitello’s Italian Restaurant from “The Deep End of the Ocean”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, after doing some stalking in Beverly Hills, the Grim Cheaper and I decided to head over to the Valley to grab dinner at one of our very favorite eateries in all of Los Angeles – Vitello’s Italian Restaurant in Studio City.  And even though I have blogged about the…

  • Harry Bosch’s House from “Bosch”

    Harry Bosch’s House from “Bosch”

    ‘ I contemplated chronicling the best movie and television productions I discovered in 2018 as my first post of the new year.  Had I done so (and I still might later this month), Bosch would have topped the list.  As I mentioned in my recent write-up on Demitasse café, the Grim Cheaper and I started…

  • Jan’s Duplex from “Beautiful Girls”

    Jan’s Duplex from “Beautiful Girls”

    ‘ One of the locations that I was most excited about stalking while in Minnesota three weeks ago (and I can hardly even believe that it’s already been three weeks!) was the duplex where Jan (aka Martha Plimpton) lived in fave movie Beautiful Girls.  The residence is actually located in Hopkins, a city about thirteen…

  • Hotel Del Coronado

    Hotel Del Coronado

    ‘ Ever since I was a little girl, my family has been vacationing at Hotel Del Coronado on the island of Coronado. Hotel Del is a truly magical place – like no other hotel I have ever seen. Stepping inside it is literally like stepping back in time a hundred years to a completely different…

  • The SAG Conversations with “Southland” Event

    The SAG Conversations with “Southland” Event

    ‘ I would like to start off today’s post by announcing that my good friend, fellow stalker Owen, who is a copy editor by trade, has just started his very own blog which chronicles the various spelling mistakes and grammatical errors that he comes across in printed material on a daily basis.  The blog is…
