    Redwood Bar & Grill from “Bridesmaids”

    ‘ Once the rain finally stopped falling this past Saturday morning, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to downtown Los Angeles to stalk a Bridesmaids location that has been at the very top of my To-Stalk list for months now – Redwood Bar & Grill, where Officer Rhodes (Chris O’Dowd) and Annie Walker (Kristen Wiig)…

    "He Tied Me to a Chair and Stole My Car!"

    ‘ On Thanksgiving my mom and I did a little stalking in South Pasadena – we aren’”‘”‘t much for football games or the Macy’”‘”‘s Thanksgiving Day parade. 🙂 Anyway, one of the places we stalked was John Voight’”‘”‘s home from the movies National Treasure and National Treasure : Book of Secrets. Mike, from MovieShotsLA ,…

  • The Mansion Where Brad and Jen Got Married

    The Mansion Where Brad and Jen Got Married

    ‘ There are some events in history that people remember as if they occurred just yesterday.  For instance, my mom remembers exactly where she was, right down to what she was wearing, on November 22, 1963 when she found out that President Kennedy had been murdered.  Well, I wasn’”‘”‘t alive when JFK was assassinated or when…

  • Anthony’s House from Twilight Zone: The Movie”

    Anthony’s House from Twilight Zone: The Movie”

    ‘ Perhaps no film in the history of filmdom has been as mired in controversy as Twilight Zone: The Movie.  Bring up the 1983 thriller to anyone and talk will likely turn to the death of three of its actors in a harrowing and, what has been argued, completely avoidable accident.  On July 23rd, 1982…

    Taking the Day Off . . . Again

    ‘ I hope all of my fellow stalkers had a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday!!  I just returned from Lake Arrowhead last night and, unfortunately, did not have time to write a new blog post during my weekend away.  Have no fear, though, as I did manage to get some stalking in while I was there and…

    Jerry’s Condo from “Jerry Maguire”

    ‘ Location hunts can take some strange, circuitous paths.  Case in point – during my laborious, years-long search for the condo where Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) lived in the 1996 classic of the same name, I headed down a fairly deep rabbit hole in an attempt to identify the onetime beach home of actress Suzanne…

  • Lana Turner’s Former House -The Johnny Stompanato Murder Site

    Lana Turner’s Former House -The Johnny Stompanato Murder Site

    ‘ My grandma, who loves reading Hollywood biographies just as much as I do, recently gifted me with a book about the life of legendary film idol Lana Turner, authored by the star’s only daughter, Cheryl Crane.  The ginormous tome, which must weigh at least twenty pounds (not kidding!), is named LANA: The Memories, the…

    Robbie Hart’s House

    ‘ Thanks to fellow stalker Owen, last week Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I were able to stalk Robbie Hart‘”‘”‘s house from the 1998 romantic comedy The Wedding Singer.  I had actually been wanting to find The Wedding Singer  house for quite a while now, so when Owen told me that he knew where it was located, I just about died!!! …

  • The Western Union Office from “The Sting”

    The Western Union Office from “The Sting”

    ‘ History in Los Angeles hides in the most unsuspecting of places.  Back in 2013, I stalked a small edifice at 118 Winston Street in downtown L.A. that portrayed a Western Union office in the 1973 caper classic The Sting.  I learned of the non-descript property via The Movie Tourist Blog and was thrilled at…
