    The Sony Pictures Studio Tour

    ‘ Last month Mike, from MovieShotsLA, his fiance Jen, and I decided to go on another studio stalking adventure. This time we opted for the Sony Pictures Studio Tour in Culver City. The studio lot that is now owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment (parent company to both Columbia and TriStar Pictures) was originally built in…

    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…

    The Site of Ariel’s House from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ One L.A. Story location that I tracked down and stalked months ago, but has since become a bit of a conundrum to me, is the apartment building – or house – where Ariel (Susan Forristal), the best friend of wacky weatherman Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin), lived.  Finding the locale was pretty much a…

    My Guide to L.A. – Bars

    ‘ When I lived in L.A., one of my favorite things to do was grab a drink with the Grim Cheaper at a different bar every Saturday night.  I loved discovering, cocktail in hand, the myriad of fabulous lounges the city has to offer, many of them historic.  That being said, I am in no…

    Cole’s House from “The Sixth Sense”

    ‘ Locations stick with me.  They just do.  Obviously.  One that stuck with me above the realm of normalcy, though, is the handsome brick townhouse where Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) lived in The Sixth Sense. Even though I’ve only actually seen the 1999 thriller once, the image of Bruce Willis as child psychologist Malcolm…

    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…

    Happy Fourth of July!

    ‘ I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very happy Fourth of July.  I hope everyone has a safe and fun-filled holiday.  I will be back on Friday with a whole new post. ‘

  • Police Doubt Fire . . .

    Police Doubt Fire . . .

    ‘ One of my favorite movie lines of all time is “It was a run-by fruiting!” from Mrs. Doubtfire – Robin William says the line to Pierce Brosnan after throwing a piece of fruit at his head at the local pool. LOL So, this weekend, the Mrs. Doubtfire house was on my must-see list of…

    Frank The Tank!

    ‘ I have been a student at The Groundlings School for about two years now. The Groundlings is an exceptional improv school that was started in 1972 and is practically a breeding ground for Saturday Night Live actors. Some of the comedic greats who got their start at the Groundlings include Kathy Griffin, Lisa Kudrow,…
