  • Blogging Hawaiian Style

    ‘ It seems even the internet over here is on Hawaiian time, as it only works when it wants to. LOL I can hardly get online to write this short post before it kicks me off. 🙁 I will keep trying to do a regular post throughout the day. Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂…

    Shannen Doherty’s Former Mulholland Drive Rental

    ‘ Another locale that I found thanks to Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites, the fabulous book written by my buddy E.J. of The Movieland Directory, was the house at 13459 Mulholland Drive that was once rented by my girl Shannen Doherty and that was also the location of her ill-fated 1993 nuptials to Ashley Hamilton,…

    Orange Army-Navy from “That Thing You Do!”

    ‘ Another day, another That Thing You Do! locale.  It is one of my all-time favorite movies, after all!  In early December, the Grim Cheaper and I found ourselves in the O.C. and decided to head out to Old Towne Orange to do some Christmas shopping.  While perusing the charming streets and boutiques, I was…

    Pacific Dining Car

    ‘ My father is currently in the hospital (again) as he just had some minor surgery – and no, it was not caused by me dragging him to filming locations! 🙂 As they say, though, every cloud has a silver lining! Not only has his hospital been used as a filming location, but there is…

    Only in L.A.!

    ‘ The other day while I was on my way to acting class I experienced one of those “Only in L.A.” moments that I love so much. 🙂 While walking past Lucky Strike Lanes Bowling Alley on Highland Avenue in Hollywood I noticed a vending machine selling Movie Star Maps and I just about died…

  • The St. Regis Hotel

    The St. Regis Hotel

    ‘ Last year while visiting Manhattan, I dragged my boyfriend out to the posh St. Regis New York hotel on 55th Street.  I had wanted to see the St. Regis not so much because it is an oft-used filming location, but because my girl Marilyn Monroe stayed there back in 1954 while on location in…

  • Brand Library from “Scorpion”

    Brand Library from “Scorpion”

    ‘ I am probably the only person you will ever hear say this, but I absolutely loved working as a background actor in Hollywood.  Sure, the hours were long and unpredictable and the work tedious and repetitive, but the opportunities I was afforded to be up-close-and-personal with the inner workings of movie and television production…

  • Olympic Coffee Shop from “Sharp Objects”

    Olympic Coffee Shop from “Sharp Objects”

    ‘ I’m not sure what it is about old school diners, but I sure have an affinity for them.  My inclination maybe stems from memories of childhood road trips or weekend mornings spent at greasy spoons with my parents during my early years or my nostalgic nature in general.  Whatever the cause, if I see…

  • Hotel Shangri-La from “The Bachelor”

    Hotel Shangri-La from “The Bachelor”

    ‘ This past Sunday morning (which was particularly cloudy, as you can see above), the Grim Cheaper and I headed out to Santa Monica to run a couple of errands and while there we happened to walk by the Hotel Shangri-La – a historic Art Deco masterpiece that I have wanted to stalk ever since…

    The Evers’ House from “The Haunted Mansion”

    ‘ My Los Angeles magazine editor is on vacation this week, so I will not have a post on LAmag.com today.  To make up for it, though, I’ve got a Haunted Hollywood locale for you right here!  One of my favorite parts about the Halloween season is watching scary movies.  (And of course stalking their…
