  • The Beethoven House

    The Beethoven House

    ‘ Got a challenge from Debbie a few weeks back to find the house used in the 1992 movie Beethoven and its many subsequent sequels.  Debbie had just read my post on the Camden house from the television series 7th Heaven  and was struck by how similar it looked to the home used in the…

    South Pasadena Public Library from “Say Anything . . . “

    ‘ I was incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of John Mahoney last week.  Not only did I love the actor in pretty much every role he played, but his Hollywood story is such an unusual and admirable one.  After graduating from college, Mahoney tried his hand at a few different occupations including teaching…

    The Daily Dose Café from “Scandal”

    ‘ UPDATE – After closing and then reopening briefly as Café Société in 2018, this spot shuttered for good early last year.  It currently remains vacant.

    ‘ Last Wednesday morning I almost fell out of my chair as I opened up my email account and saw an AOL news headline screaming out at me “Ferris Bueller’”‘”‘s Day Off   House For Sale!”  At first, I thought the article was talking about the Long Beach area home that stood in for Ferris’”‘”‘ in the film.  But, in reality, it is the…

    The Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey from “90210”

    ‘ Way back in July of last year, the Grim Cheaper and I found ourselves on the West Side of Los Angeles with a few hours to kill, so we decided to head down to Marina del Rey as I had never before done any stalking there.  I ended up absolutely falling in love with…

    The “Sex and the City” Starbucks

    ‘ One of the best things about starting this blog is the people it has put me in contact with – a myriad of fabulous individuals who share my unique affection for filming locations.  One such fellow stalker, a New Yorker named Gary, has gifted me with countless Big Apple locales since we first started…

  • Esperanza Resort

    Esperanza Resort

    ‘ Another celebrity hot spot that my husband and I stalked while honeymooning in Cabo San Lucas last week was the world-famous Esperanza Resort hotel – a place my girl Jen A. has checked into frequently over the years.   The 17-acre property, which is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, is consistently…

    Taking a Sick Day!

    ‘ Because I am still suffering from a bad cold, I spent pretty much the entire day yesterday on the couch watching my Dawson’s Creek DVDs (I am so on Team Pacey, by the way!).  So, I unfortunately do not have a new post for today, but I promise to be back tomorrow with a…
