    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 California Bank Building from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

    ‘ Since we’re on the subject of Girls Just Want to Have Fun, I thought I would blog about another locale from the movie that I recently hit up – downtown L.A.’s California Bank Building, which masked as the Dance TV (aka DTV) studio in the 1985 flick.  A couple of years back, Chas, from…

    L.A., Here I Come!

    ‘ I am heading to L.A. this morning and will therefore be taking the next few days off.  I have absolutely NO plans for my stay yet , which I could NOT be more excited about!   After the incredibly busy March that I had, I am looking forward to spending some time relaxing, shopping, hanging…

    The “You” Party House

    ‘ The second season of You certainly did a stunning job of showcasing Los Angeles.  From the fabulously chic Anavrin grocery store to the striking Victorian rented by Candace Stone (Ambyr Childers), the city has never looked better onscreen!  One spot that majorly intrigued me was the pad where Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) attempted to…

    ‘ While this probably goes without saying, the location that I was most excited about stalking while vacationing in Seattle this past May was the very first Starbucks store at Pike Place Market.  As I’ve mentioned countless times in the past – and as anyone who knows me even slightly well can attest to –…

    Hollywood Renaissance Hotel

    ‘ 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.

    The “ALF” House

    ‘ One location that I have been asked about repeatedly over the years is the Tudor-style home where the Tanner family – Willie (Max Wright), Kate (Anne Schedeen), Lynn (Andrea Elson), Brian (Benji Gregory), and their Melmacian house guest, ALF (who was voiced by series creator Paul Fusco) – lived in the 1986 television series…
