    Ron Levin’s Former Home

    ‘ As a Los Angeles aficionado who has long been obsessed with true crime, it is rather shocking that I had no knowledge of the infamous Billionaire Boys Club murders of 1984.  Sure, I’d heard of the 1987 The Billionaire Boys Club miniseries, but figuring it a tale of financial woe, dismissed it as not…

    The “Why Him?” House

    ‘ I don’t like to think of myself as a brat, but I’d be lying if I did not admit to having brat-like tendencies when it comes to choosing what movie to watch with the Grim Cheaper on any given Saturday night.  Typically I veto all of his recommendations straight out of the gate and…

  • My Latest Interview

    My Latest Interview

    ‘ This week is going to be rather hectic for me – I am traveling to L.A. for a brief visit, buying a new car and my dad is having surgery – so I most likely will not be able to do any blogging.  I will be back next Monday, though, with a whole new…

  • Halloween at Dick Van Dyke’s House

    Halloween at Dick Van Dyke’s House

    ‘ While doing research on the Strode House from Halloween a couple of weeks back, I came across a blog post about the extravagant yard haunt that actor Dick Van Dyke hosts every Halloween at his home in Malibu.  And while you wouldn’t think it would be possible, being that I have lived in Southern…

  • Laney Boggs’ House from “She’s All That”

    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…

  • Raquel Welch’s “Beyond The Cleavage” Book Signing

    Raquel Welch’s “Beyond The Cleavage” Book Signing

    ‘ Ever since my mom found out that actress and 1960’s/1970’s sex symbol Raquel Welch was scheduled to do a book signing for her new tome Raquel: Beyond the Cleavage at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena on the evening of April 22nd, she became absolutely obsessed with attending the event.  And, even though I wasn’t exactly…

    New “L.A.” Mag Post – About the Gamble House from “Back to the Future”

    Dawnridge – Tony Duquette’s Former House

    ‘ Last month, while perusing the July 2013 issue of InStyle magazine, I became just a wee-bit intrigued by the spot where the cover shoot with actress Salma Hayek took place – a residence formerly owned by legendary designer Tony Duquette that the article described as an oft-filmed-at locale.  After reading through the story, I…

  • Melrose Avenue from “L.A. Story”

    Melrose Avenue from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ Another L.A. Story location that has been waiting patiently in my stalking backlog is the block of Melrose Avenue where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) and Sara McDowel (Victoria Tennant) walked and talked after attending a fundraiser for a private art museum in the 1991 flick.  Unfortunately though, because the movie was lensed over…

  • Connor and Gigi’s Date Restaurant from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    Connor and Gigi’s Date Restaurant from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    ‘ Not every location from He’s Just Not That Into You was a challenge to track down.  [As I mentioned yesterday and the day before, both Janine (Jennifer Connelly) and Ben’s (Bradley Cooper) home and Conor’s (Kevin Connolly) row house listing proved to be real thorns in my side.]  Case in point, the exterior of…
