  • The Beverly Beat

    The Beverly Beat

    ‘ Thanks to my good friend Mike over at MovieShotsLA I was able to stalk Brandon and Steve’”‘”‘s newspaper office from the original Beverly Hills, 90210 series. On the final years of the original 90210, Brandon and Steve ran their own newspaper called “The Beverly Beat” and the location of the newspaper office had eluded…

  • The “Double Indemnity” House

    The “Double Indemnity” House

    ‘ A couple of weekends ago I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to the Beachwood Canyon area of the Hollywood Hills to stalk one of the most famous macabre movie locations of all time – the Spanish-Colonial-Revival-style abode that was featured in Double Indemnity.  Incredibly, up until a few weeks ago I had yet to…

  • The Fine Arts Building from “The Morning Show”

    The Fine Arts Building from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ Considering I’ve been at this crazy hobby of mine for twenty years now, you’d think I’d have stalked every square inch of Los Angeles.  While watching the second episode of The Morning Show, though, I was reminded of a site I had yet to set foot in – downtown’s Fine Arts Building.  I’d heard…

  • Valentino from “Pretty Woman”

    Valentino from “Pretty Woman”

    ‘ Pretty Woman is one of the most well-documented movies out there when it comes to locations.  Oddly though, despite the legions of websites and books with sections dedicated to its locales, I have yet to see identified the Rodeo Drive shop where Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) and Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) spent an “obscene…

  • Jen’s House from “Dead to Me”

    Jen’s House from “Dead to Me”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I admittedly become obsessed with a lot of shows.  But it is a rare occasion (at least as of late) to find ourselves consumed by a series filmed entirely in L.A. (Bosch and Brooklyn Nine-Nine notwithstanding).  Darn runaway production!  So I was ecstatic to discover the thrilling, hilarious AND locally…

  • The New York Yacht Club from “Hannah and Her Sisters”

    The New York Yacht Club from “Hannah and Her Sisters”

    ‘ While filming locations are, of course, my first love, I am all about discovering unique, off-the-beaten-path, non-Hollywood-related landmarks and hidden gems, as well (as evidenced here, here and here).  So my interest was immediately piqued when, shortly before my 2016 trip to the Big Apple, my friend/fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is…

  • Monrovia High School from “A Cinderella Story”

    Monrovia High School from “A Cinderella Story”

    ‘ My taste in movies is about as mature and refined as my palate, which favors chicken strips and ranch dressing above all else.  Case in point – I am obsessed with the 2004 tween romance A Cinderella Story.  Chad Michael Murray?  Hilary Duff on roller skates?  A high school love story?  A pink ‘50s…

  • Stu’s House from "Scream"

    Stu’s House from "Scream"

    ‘ At the risk of my October postings turning into a full-fledged Scream-fest (and there ain’t nothing wrong with that, honestly!), I’m coming at ya again with another locale from the 1996 horror flick – the Tomales-area farmhouse where Stuart Macher (Matthew Lillard) lived.  Situated up a long, winding driveway and barely visible from the…

  • The Electric Fountain from “Clueless”

    The Electric Fountain from “Clueless”

    ‘ Two weekends ago while doing some stalking in the Beverly Hills area, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to the corner of Wilshire and North Santa Monica Boulevards to finally, finally stalk the fountain where Cher Horowitz (aka Alicia Silverstone) realized her true feelings for her former stepbrother Josh (aka Paul Rudd) in fave…

  • Bugsy Siegel’s House

    Bugsy Siegel’s House

    ‘ Just around the corner from the in Beverly Hills is one of the most famous crime scenes in Hollywood history – the home where legendary mobster Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel was murdered on June 20, 1947. This home is often cited as being owned by the famous mobster at the time of his death, but…
