  • Charlie’s Angels

    Charlie’s Angels

    ‘ I must admit that I absolutely loved the first Charlie’”‘”‘s Angels movie, so when I found the location of the headquarters of Charles Townsend Investigations in my stalking tome last weekend, I just had to stalk it. This same location was used in both the filming of the Charlie’”‘”‘s Angels television show back in…

  • Hotel Constance from “Café Society”

    Hotel Constance from “Café Society”

    ‘ It is always such a thrill to discover that a beloved restaurant, building, bar or boutique I wasn’t aware was a filming location has actually appeared onscreen.  Such was the case with Hotel Constance, one of my favorite Pasadena-area lodgings.  You’ve seen me talk about the place before in My Guide to L.A. –…

    Richard Wright’s Rooftop Pool from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ Another Sex and the City  locale that I stalked while in New York last month was the Greenwich Village building where Samantha’s Season 4 boyfriend, hotel magnate Richard Wright, lived on the series.  I found this location thanks to fave book Sex and the City: Kiss and Tell, and since fellow stalker Owen, my…

    Barb’s Quickie Grill from “Pretty Woman”

    ‘ Another Pretty Woman location that I spent countless hours trying to track down recently was the tiny café where Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) and Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) had dinner towards the end of the classic 1990 flick.  And while the name of the establishment – “Barb’s Quickie Grill” – and a street number…

    Malibu Café at Calamigos Ranch

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I recently headed out to the ‘Bu to grab a bite to eat at the Malibu Café at Calamigos Ranch and walked away with not only a new favorite restaurant, but an addition to my Must-Stalk List.  Mike, from MovieShotsLA, had told me about Calamigos Ranch years ago because of…

  • The “It’s A Wonderful Life” Train Station

    The “It’s A Wonderful Life” Train Station

    ‘ If there is anything I have learned over the past ten-plus years that I have lived in Southern California, it is that stalking tips often come from the most unlikely of places.  Take for instance this past weekend.  The Grim Cheaper’s father has long been a collector of model trains, so last Sunday afternoon…

  • The Producers’ Guild Awards!

    The Producers’ Guild Awards!

    ‘ Last night my boyfriend and I set out to have a drink at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills and ended up walking into a stalker’”‘”‘s paradise! The Producers’”‘”‘ Guild Awards were being held in the International Ballroom of the hotel, and producers, movie stars and paparazzi were everywhere! We had a great…

    Lindsay’s Big Adventure

    ‘ The idea of watching a movie outdoors at night in an LA cemetery might at first seem a little odd to some. And I must admit, it did at first to me, too. But that’”‘”‘s exactly what I did this past Saturday night for a screening of Pee Wee’”‘”‘s Big Adventure at the Hollywood…

  • The Silent Movie Theatre

    The Silent Movie Theatre

    ‘ I am very excited to announce that I recently started writing for the L.A. Tourism & Convention Board website, Discover Los Angeles.  I have done two posts for the site so far – one on iconic horror movie locations and another about area hotels that have been immortalized onscreen.  Before I was given my…

    The Old School House

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while out stalking, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I decided to pay a little visit to the house where Luke Wilson lived and set up his fictional Lamdba Epsilon Omega fraternity in the 2003 comedy Old School.  The house is located on a quiet, tree-lined street that has long been a favorite of location scouts.   South Pasadena’”‘”‘s Bushnell…
