  • Ray Combs’ Former House

    Ray Combs’ Former House

    ‘ One Haunted Hollywood location that I learned about back in January thanks to the fabulous book Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites, which was written by fellow stalker E.J. of The Movieland Directory, was the Glendale-area home where former Family Feud host Ray Combs was taken into custody shortly before his 1996 suicide.  I was…

  • Marilyn Monroe’s Former Home

    Marilyn Monroe’s Former Home

    ‘ For some reason lately I have been obsessing on Miss Marilyn Monroe. I never really had any interest in her until recently, had never even seen any of her movies all the way through, and generally never really had an opinion about her one way or another. But that all changed about two weeks…

  • The Most Photographed Home in the World!

    The Most Photographed Home in the World!

    ‘ About three months ago my mom challenged me to find a house that had been used in a famous photograph back in the 1960s.  The only information she remembered about the photograph was that it was an advertisement of some sort shot in black and white and that it featured two women sitting in…

  • Happy Memorial Day!

    Happy Memorial Day!

    ‘ I am taking today off for Memorial Day, but will be back tomorrow with a new location to stalk.  🙂  Hope everyone is enjoying their three day weekend and taking a moment to remember those who lost their lives fighting for our country. ‘

  • Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch . . . A Second Time

    Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch . . . A Second Time

    ‘ This past weekend, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to one of my all time favorite Halloween-themed stalking locations – Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch in West Hollywood.  The family owned and operated patch, which is located on a vacant plot of land on North Doheny Drive in between Keith and Harland Avenues, has been…

  • Big Brother

    Big Brother

    ‘ Last summer I was COMPLETELY obsessed with the reality show Big Brother 8 – like absolutely on-the-edge-of-my-seat hooked on the show! I loved me some Dick and Danielle! So when I found out that the Big Brother soundstage was located on the CBS Studio Center lot in Studio City and that it could actually…

  • The King Edward Hotel from “In Time”

    The King Edward Hotel from “In Time”

    ‘ I am a sucker for a grand staircase!  My affinity likely stems from the movie Titanic, which I was obsessed with back in the day.  Whatever the impetus, I am drawn to them like a moth to a flame.  Case in point – while researching the Surfridge neighborhood for this 2013 post, I was…

  • Andrew’s House from “A to Z”

    Andrew’s House from “A to Z”

    ‘ Networks have recently begun the practice of digitally releasing the pilot episodes of new shows weeks before their scheduled premiere dates.  I think it’s a genius maneuver and have been relishing watching them all.  One that I perused, on the recommendation of fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, was A…

  • Casa Vega from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”

    Casa Vega from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”

    ‘ One of the things I most appreciate about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the lengths director Quentin Tarantino went to portray an authentic 1960s-era Los Angeles onscreen.  To that end, he featured several local historic restaurants from the time that are, thankfully, still around today, including Musso and Frank Grill, El Coyote,…

  • The HMS Bounty Bar and Restaurant from “Mad Men”

    The HMS Bounty Bar and Restaurant from “Mad Men”

    ‘ Another stalking stop on the Grim Cheaper’s Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt around Los Angeles that we embarked upon this past February was the historic Koreatown eatery known as the HMS Bounty Bar and Restaurant.  And while I had known about the watering hole’s vast history and longtime celebrity clientele before we dined there, up…
