The “E.T.” House
‘ Although I consider myself somewhat of a master stalker (not as good as fellow stalkers Owen, Mike, from MovieshotsLA, or Chas, from ItsFilmedThere, of course), for whatever reason, up until this past weekend I had yet to visit one of the most famous movie locations of them all – the home where Mary (aka…

Happy Labor Day!
‘ I would like to wish a very happy Labor Day to all of my fellow stalkers. I am taking today off, but will be back on Wednesday with a whole new post. Sorry to have been a bit MIA lately, but the Grim Cheaper and I have been traveling a lot and I have…

Thorne Hall from “The Holiday”
‘ If I had to pick a favorite movie character it would be Arthur Abbott (Eli Wallach) from The Holiday. There’s nothing about him that I don’t adore – his kind heart, his wit, his charm, his championing of Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet). And there’s no scene that makes me cry more than the one…

The “Hangover” House
‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up to let me know that he was on the hunt for the main house used in fave movie The Hangover. The two of us both had a pretty good inkling that the residence was located somewhere in the Pasadena area, we just weren’t sure…

Hilton Pasadena from “The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training”

David Silver’s Grandparents’ House from “Beverly Hills, 90210”
‘ One Beverly Hills, 90210 location that I have been dying to find pretty much ever since the episode it was featured in aired over 18 years ago is the house where David Silver’s grandparents’ lived in the Season One episode entitled “Palm Springs Weekend” (aka “A Fling in Palm Springs”). For those who don’t…

Boris Karloff’s Former Home
‘ The Haunting of Hill House is giving me life right now! To say I am obsessed with the spooky new Netflix original series would be an understatement. I am currently only five episodes in (so no spoilers please!), but am absolutely mesmerized by the storyline, the characters, the actors (it is amazing how much…

Granville Towers – Portia de Rossi’s Former Home
‘ I just recently finished reading Portia de Rossi’s new memoir Unbearable Lightness and I have to say that it was easily one of the best books I have ever read in my entire life! I literally could NOT put it down. The memoir is a harrowing account of the actress’ long-time eating disorder which…
