    The “Mama’s Family” Houses

    ‘ I have dreamed of writing this post for so long!  One of the locations I get asked about the most (I literally get emails and comments about it all the time!) is the house that portrayed Thelma Harper’s (Vicki Lawrence) residence during the first two seasons of Mama’s Family.  For those who aren’t familiar…

    The Standard Hotel

    ‘ My friend Stephanie, who is even more obsessed with Sex and the City than I am, has a birthday coming up this Friday, so I decided to do a little post today in her honor.

    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…

    Chabelita Tacos from “Truth or Dare”

    ‘ Roadside taco stands don’t usually conjure up images of the macabre.  Today’s locale is no different.  In fact, the eatery – Chabelita Tacos – is a bright and colorful addition to the Harvard Heights skyline.  But since it did appear in a memorable scene in the 2018 horror flick Truth or Dare, I thought…

  • Heading Back East

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are currently back east for the next week and a half, which, unfortunately, means I will not have any new posts until (most likely) September 23rd.  Our trip is not under the best of circumstances (we are attending a funeral), but we have planned a couple of side trips…

    Studio City Stalking

    ‘ This past Saturday must have been my lucky day! While my boyfriend and I were doing a little Studio City stalking, we happened to see Roselyn Sanchez, who plays Elena Delgado on Without A Trace, getting out of her car in front of a newsstand on Laurel Canyon Boulevard. I made my boyfriend swerve…

  • The Chaplin Court Apartment Complex

    The Chaplin Court Apartment Complex

    ‘ While doing research on the Sierra Bonita apartments from the 2001 thriller Mulholland Drive, which I blogged about back in October, I came across a mention of an absolutely adorable courtyard apartment complex in Hollywood about which legends abound. The complex is known by quite a few different monikers across the web, including Chaplin…

    The Malibu House from “Spanglish”

  • The “Love Happens” Houses

    The “Love Happens” Houses

    ‘ Two other Vancouver-area locations that fellow stalker Owen managed to track down from the ultra-depressing 2009 romantic comedy Love Happens were the residences belonging to Eloise Chandler’s mom (aka Frances Conway) and Burke Ryan’s former in-laws (aka Martin Sheen and Deirdre Blades).  Both homes are located about ten miles southeast of Vancouver in the Queens Park…
