    ‘ The most important item on my Catalina Island stalking list was the home where a very young Marilyn Monroe lived with her first husband James Dougherty during the years 1943 to 1944.  This was long before Miss Monroe became a Hollywood icon and household name, back when she was just a girl who was…

  • CSI: Pasadena

    CSI: Pasadena

    ‘ My dad is not a big fan of Hollywood. And by Hollywood I mean the industry, not the town. He can’”‘”‘t stand all of the overindulged, self-absorbed actors, even though his own daughter is one (minus the overindulged, self-absorbed part, of course). 🙂 He just barely tolerates my stalking and often asks me why…

    The “ALF” House

  • The Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway Tour

    The Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway Tour

    ‘ My knowledge of Elvis Presley is basically limited to the fact that he was a singer (duh!), his 1957 drafting into the army served as the inspiration for the play and movie Bye Bye Birdie, he called a spectacular Tennessee mansion named Graceland home (the manse is the setting of one of my favorite…
