  • Elvis Presley’s Honeymoon Hideaway

    Elvis Presley’s Honeymoon Hideaway

    ‘ While visiting my parents in the Coachella Valley last month, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, suggested that I do a re-stalk of the desert home where Elvis Presley and his new bride, Priscilla, spent their honeymoon in 1967.  I had originally stalked and blogged about the property way back in March 2008, when my website was…

  • The Cat & Fiddle

    The Cat & Fiddle

    ‘ We’ll always have the Cat & Fiddle.  Or so Angelinos thought.  Sadly, the historic restaurant closed its doors this past December.  When news of the impending shuttering hit the blogosphere in late October, I became desperate to stalk the eatery – especially once I read via several online news outlets that it had appeared…

    Taking the Day Off

    ‘ I do not have a new blog to post for today as I spent all day yesterday in the South Bay doing some stalking with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, but I do promise to be back tomorrow with a whole new location.  So until that time . . . Happy Stalking! ‘

  • The “She’s Out of Control” House – Part 2

    The “She’s Out of Control” House – Part 2

    ‘ One of my favorite parts of writing my blog each day is uncovering the various productions a particular locale has appeared in.  Some spots are so prevalent on the big and small screen that I inevitably miss a role or two, though.  Such was the case with the South Pasadena pad that portrayed the…

  • The Los Feliz “Murder House”

    The Los Feliz “Murder House”

    ‘ I can honestly say that out of all of the locations that I have ever stalked in my entire life, the subject of today’s post is hands down the most perplexing and mind-boggling!  Last week, when I called up Mike, from MovieShotsLA, to tell him that Geoff, from the 90210locations website, had tracked down…

  • Catherine Willows’ House from “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”

    Catherine Willows’ House from “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”

    ‘ I’ll never forget the first time I saw CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.  It was back in 2003 and my parents had come home from a random stop at the video store (remember those?) with a DVD of the series’ inaugural season in hand.  I had not heard of the show at the time and…

  • Twin Palms – Frank Sinatra’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    Twin Palms – Frank Sinatra’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    ‘ Another Palm-Springs-area location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked two weekends ago while vacationing in the Coachella Valley was Twin Palms, the former desert home of legendary crooner Frank Sinatra and his then-wife Nancy Barbato.  And while I have actually stalked – and even blogged about – this location once before (way back…

  • The L.A. Hotel Downtown from “How to Get Away with Murder”

    The L.A. Hotel Downtown from “How to Get Away with Murder”

    ‘ UPDATE – This hotel is now known as “The L.A. Grand Hotel Downtown.” Sometimes while viewing a television show or movie, I become absolutely transfixed by a location.  So much so that I have to pause what I’m watching and track down the locale right then and there.  It happens quite often actually –…

  • Julia Child’s Childhood Home

    Julia Child’s Childhood Home

    ‘ One of the best things about being a member of the Screen Actors Guild is that each and every January all guild members receive, often without notice, DVDs of various movies that have been nominated for an upcoming SAG award.  These DVDs are doled out “for your consideration” so that members can watch them…

  • Whirlwind Weekend

    Whirlwind Weekend

    ‘ I spent this past weekend in San Francisco celebrating my grandma’s 90th birthday.  The family threw her a surprise party and to say she was bowled over would be an understatement.  We had an absolute blast and I can’t think of a better way to have spent my Valentine’s.  For the evening, one of…
