Forest Lawn Memorial Park Hollywood Hills
‘ I was all set to publish a blog post today about the Old School house, but a drive through Burbank yesterday evening caused that plan to go awry.

The Miramonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells

The Little Door Restaurant from “Monster-in-Law”

"Welcome to Malibu, Bitch!"

Hollywood Center Motel
‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up to ask me if I knew that my latest Hollywood crush, Simon Baker, had one of his earliest acting roles in the 1997 movie L.A. Confidential. And I almost fell out of my chair! Even though I’”‘”‘ve seen that movie about a hundred times, I never realized…

Greystone Mansion
‘ While most mansions in Beverly Hills are well hidden from prying eyes thanks to tall gates and large trees, there is one that is open to the public on a regular basis and it’”‘”‘s called Greystone Mansion. The 46,000 square foot mansion was commissioned in 1928 by millionaire Edward L. Doheny as a gift…

The L.A. Confidential Liquor Store
‘ Got an email a few weeks back from fellow stalker Tracey who gave me the address of a film location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I had been trying to find for months – the liquor store from the 1997 movie L.A. Confidential! Mike and I had known from doing some online research that…

The Cabazon Dinosaurs from “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure”
