Louis B. Mayer’s Former House – The Birthplace of the Academy Awards
‘ Last week, the Grim Cheaper emailed me a fabulous Vanity Fair article about the genesis of the most iconic night in Hollywood – the Academy Awards. According to the blurb, in January 1927, legendary producer Louis B. Mayer was enjoying some idle conversation with friends Conrad Nagel and Fred Niblo at his beachfront home…

Happy Thanksgiving!
‘ I will be taking the rest of this week off as my mom is having surgery and I will be helping with her recuperation, as well as celebrating Thanksgiving with my family. I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a fabulous holiday! Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

The “Larry Crowne” Apartment Building
‘ Two additional Larry Crowne filming locations that I stalked this past weekend were Talia’s, the vintage clothing store owned by Talia Francesco (aka the adorable Gugu Mbatha-Raw), and the apartment building where Larry Crowne (aka Tom Hanks) lived at the very end of the flick, both of which are housed inside of the same…

Doheny Memorial Library from “Matilda”
‘ Movies have a way of making locations appear more majestic than they truly are, thanks largely to photogenic set dressing, perfect camera angles, and expert production design (anyone who has ever seen a Nancy Meyers film knows exactly what I am talking about). Amazingly, that is not the case with Doheny Memorial Library, which,…

The Correct “A Nightmare on Elm Street” Bridge
‘ While stalking the Venice Canals (the history of which you can read about on yesterday’s post about Lana Clarkson’s former home) with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, last July, he mentioned that there was some misinformation floating around online about the Venice Canal bridge that appeared in the 1984 horror flick A Nightmare on Elm Street. …

The Conservatory Garden from “The Girl on the Train”
‘ One of my favorite places in all of Manhattan is, surprisingly, not a stalking location. Or at least it wasn’t up until recently. The Conservatory Garden, a six-acre oasis in East Harlem situated across from the Museum of the City of New York, is easily the most picturesque park I have ever set foot…

The “Sex and the City” McDonalds
‘ Today’s location is a bit of a fail and a lucky twist all in one. My mom always says to trust in the universe – and she’s right. Things happen for a reason. This locale – easily one of my most-wanted ever – is proof of that. I am a pretty simple girl when…

Malibou Lake from “Parks and Recreation”
‘ A couple of months ago, I set out to find the lake house belonging to Donna Meagle (Retta) and her family in the Season 4 episode of fave show Parks and Recreation titled “Sweet Sixteen”. (It was that search that led me to discover Johnson Lake in Pasadena, which I blogged about here.) And…

Spencer and Heidi’s Apartment – the Holy Grail of Filming Locations!
‘ I don’”‘”‘t know what’”‘”‘s sadder – that it took me as long as it did to locate Speidi’”‘”‘s apartment building or the fact that I was so completely consumed with finding it in the first place! I keep asking myself – Why am I so fixated on these two idiots? I have no logical…

Leaving on a Jet Plane
‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are heading to Switzerland this evening to visit my best friend, who lives there, for a two-week vacation. I have not been to the Land of the Alps since August 1995, when my parents took me there as my high school graduation present. I fell in love with the…
