    Entertainment Recommendations to Beat the Shelter-at-Home Blues

    ‘ These definitely are some uncertain, scary times, to say the least.  The one silver lining to my dad’s recent hospital stay is that I binged a lot of TV, read quite a few books and listened to a bunch of podcasts, which means I have a slew of new entertainment favorites to share with…

  • Frances’ House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Frances’ House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ One Behind the Candelabra location that I was not able to stalk two weekends ago was the palatial Palm Springs abode belonging to Frances Liberace (Debbie Reynolds), the flamboyant pianist’s overbearing mother, in the 2013 HBO biopic.  So I dragged the Grim Cheaper right on out to do so this past Saturday morning.  And,…

  • Runyon Ranch from “Scream 3”

    Runyon Ranch from “Scream 3”

    ‘ Another Scream 3 filming location that I had long wanted to stalk was Runyon Ranch – the large hilltop home where actress Jennifer Jolie (Parker Posey) lived in the 2000 thriller. I first found out about the locale from fave stalking book Hollywood Escapes: The Moviegoer’s Guide to Exploring Southern California’s Great Outdoors, but…

  • East Miami Police Department from “Rosewood”

    East Miami Police Department from “Rosewood”

    ‘ I was saddened to learn of the cancellation of Rosewood last week.  Yes, I said in recent posts (here and here) that the show had jumped the shark, but I was holding out hope that it would return strong for a third season.  Unfortunately, as Fox announced last Tuesday, that is not to be. …

  • Bombay Beach

    Bombay Beach

    ‘ Out of all of the Salton Sea townships that I stalked while my best friend, Robin, was visiting in March, Bombay Beach was, without a doubt, my favorite.  Situated about twenty miles south of the North Shore Beach and Yacht Club (which I blogged about here), the tiny census-designated place is made up of…

  • The Historic Mayfair Hotel from “The Office”

    The Historic Mayfair Hotel from “The Office”

    ‘ Fellow stalker John Bengtson, from the SIlent Locations blog, sent me an email last week after reading my post on Red Studios Hollywood from The Artist (a location that I had learned about from his website) informing me that he had tracked down some locales from Season 7’s “The Search” episode of The Office…

  • Smart Set Beauty Salon and Shopping Center from “The Brady Bunch”

    Smart Set Beauty Salon and Shopping Center from “The Brady Bunch”

    ‘ While I originally intended to be filling this week with locales from my recent New York trip, I had a family emergency that landed me out of state since Monday.  At this point, I’m not sure when I will be returning home, so posts might be on the light side in the coming days…

  • Grand Central Station

    Grand Central Station

    ‘ Yet another Gossip Girl  filming location that I stalked a few weeks back while vacationing in Manhattan is the train station known as Grand Central Terminal.  But being that Grand Central has actually been featured in more than a few hundred productions since it first opened in 1913, it’s not really accurate to refer…

  • Marilyn Monroe’s Catalina House

    Marilyn Monroe’s Catalina House

    ‘ The most important item on my Catalina Island stalking list was the home where a very young Marilyn Monroe lived with her first husband James Dougherty during the years 1943 to 1944.  This was long before Miss Monroe became a Hollywood icon and household name, back when she was just a girl who was…

  • The Hyatt Huntington Beach from “90210”

    The Hyatt Huntington Beach from “90210”

    ‘ One location that I have been absolutely DYING to stalk for over a year and a half now is the Hyatt Huntington Beach Hotel, the spot which stands in for the Beverly Hills Beach Club, the regular hangout of Liam Court (aka cutie Matt Lanter – sigh!), Annie Wilson (aka Shenae Grimes), Naomi Clark…
