The Sharper Image from “When Harry Met Sally”
‘ Movies don’t typically surprise me, as far as locations go. But When Harry Met Sally has me absolutely shocked as of late! Ever since first seeing the romcom when it debuted back in 1989, I had been under the impression that it was lensed entirely in New York. The city is so woven into…

Celebrity Fit Club!
‘ If you happen to be a member of a Hollywood area gym, be sure to keep your eyes open for famous people – the person on the treadmill next to you just might be Britney Spears! Or her judge! The buzz around my gym lately is that the judge in the Britney Spears custody…

Gray’s Papaya from “Sex and the City”
‘ You will never catch anyone calling me a “foodie.” My palate leans much more toward comfort than epicurean with meals of choice consisting of chicken strips and ranch dressing, turkey and mashed potatoes, and hot dogs. I am a hot dog fanatic. My favorite spot to grab a ‘furter is Gray’s Papaya in New…

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…

El Cabrillo from “L.A. Story”
‘ Last April, in the midst of my slightly-obsessive L.A. Story location-finding mission, fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, tracked down a couple of the movie’s crew members for me, one of whom was extremely helpful. After he assisted us in the finding the crash intersection from the flick, I inquired…

Colony 29 from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”
‘ After watching the Season 4 episodes of fave show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills titled “Palm Spring Breakers” and “Escape to Bitch Mountain,” I became just a wee-bit obsessed with tracking down Colony 29, the sprawling enclave where the Housewives stayed during their brief desert visit. Fortunately, it wasn’t a tough find thanks…

The Former Site of Mulholland Farm
‘ Another locale that fellow stalker E.J., of The Movieland Directory, mentioned in Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites was the spot where Mulholland Farm – the former home of actor Errol Flynn – once stood. And while I knew next to nothing about Flynn at the time I read the book, the blurb caught my…

Laney Boggs’ House from “She’s All That”
‘ Back in March, when I told fellow stalker Owen, from the When Write is Wrong blog, that fellow stalker Geoff, of the 90210Locations website, had just tracked down the Fundraiser house from L.A. Story (which I blogged about here) in Palos Verdes, he suggested that when I made my way out to the South…

The Athenian Inn from “Sleepless in Seattle”
‘ Another location at the very top of my Must-Stalk-While-in-the-Pacific-Northwest list was the Athenian Inn Seafood Restaurant and Bar, which made a brief, but quite memorable appearance in the 1993 romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle. I had been absolutely dying to stalk the restaurant for what seemed like years for a couple of reasons. One,…

New York’s Paley Park
‘ New York has no shortage of “secret” places. I blogged about one – Grand Central’s Whispering Gallery – on Friday. Another that the Grim Cheaper and I are fond of is Paley Park, located in NYC’s Midtown East neighborhood. We happened by the site while wandering along 53rd Street during our very first visit…
