    The Salomon Family’s Former Home

    ‘ The second I pulled the July issue of Los Angeles magazine out of my mailbox, I knew I was a goner.  Not only did the publication chronicle the city’s best fried chicken (my favorite food), but six words on the cover stopped me dead in my tracks – “Searching for the Family that Vanished.” …

  • The Ella Strong Denison Library from “Beaches”

    The Ella Strong Denison Library from “Beaches”

    ‘ Libraries are very much on my brain as of late.  It’s all thanks to Matilda and the post I wrote about the Wormwood home last week.  While scanning through the 1996 film making screen captures, I became awestruck by the incredible book repository where young Matilda (Sara Magdalin) regularly hung out.  Though countless websites…

  • Liz Purr’s House from “Jawbreaker”

    Liz Purr’s House from “Jawbreaker”

    ‘ Upon reading today’s title you might be thinking, ‘Hey!  Jawbreaker is not a horror movie!  What is it doing showing up in a Haunted Hollywood post?’  But hear me out.  Last September, a fellow stalker named Mariana emailed to inquire if I had any intel on the “castle-like” pad where Liz Purr (Charlotte Ayanna)…

  • The “Shadow of a Doubt” Remake House

    The “Shadow of a Doubt” Remake House

    ‘ Let’s be honest – remakes are rarely, if ever, good.  Especially if they’re of the made-for-television movie variety.  Despite that fact, when I heard that the house from the 1991 made-for-television remake of Shadow of a Doubt was located right across the street from the pad featured in the 1943 original, I just had…

  • “The Hangover” Wedding Chapel

    “The Hangover” Wedding Chapel

    ‘ It is no secret that erroneous (and/or imprecise) filming location information published online and in books is one of my biggest pet peeves – especially when it leads to me stalking an incorrect place, which is exactly what happened while I was in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago.  (Why there is some…

  • Temple Israel of Hollywood from “Will & Grace”

    Temple Israel of Hollywood from “Will & Grace”

    ‘ Earlier this year, fellow stalker Lavonna informed me that she had just tracked down the temple where Grace Adler (Debra Messing) married Leo Markus (Harry Connick Jr.) in the Season 5 episode of Will & Grace titled “Marry Me a Little, Marry Me a Little More”.  As it turns out, while the wedding supposedly…

  • Houses from “Life in Pieces”

    Houses from “Life in Pieces”

    ‘ Today’s post is once again brought to you by my friend, fellow stalker Michael (you can read his other fabulous guest columns here, here, here and here).  As was the case yesterday, this article is, surprisingly, not about a The Brady Bunch location.  Take it away, Michael! Each fall I’m always excited as the…

  • The Almost Famous House

    The Almost Famous House

    ‘ Thanks to fellow stalker Chas, way back in the beginning of July, I was able to stalk the main house used in the 2000 award winning movie Almost Famous.   Somehow, though, in all this time, I’”‘”‘ve yet to blog about it.  What can I say – so many places to stalk, so little time to write…

  • The “Valentine’s Day” Floral Shop

    The “Valentine’s Day” Floral Shop

    ‘ This past weekend I dragged my new husband out to stalk the Burbank storefront that stood in for Siena Bouquet & Cafe – the flower shop/coffee bar belonging to Reed Bennett (aka Ashton Kutcher) in the 2010 romantic comedy Valentine’s Day.  And even though I didn’t particularly like Valentine’s Day all that much –…

    Latest “L.A.” Mag Post – The “Taken” Apartments

    ‘ Don’t forget to read my latest Los Angeles magazine post here – about the apartment building from Taken, as well as my review of Taken 3.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘
