    The Pilot House!

    ‘ One filming location that has pretty much been the bane of Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and my existence for quite some time now is the home that the Walsh family lived in during the very first of episode of Beverly Hills, 90210.  Mike and I fondly, and sometimes not so fondly – LOL – refer to this location as…

  • Hilton Pasadena from “The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training”

    Hilton Pasadena from “The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training”

    ‘ I always love it when a filming location sneaks up on me.  This past weekend, the Grim Cheaper and I headed to Pasadena to attend the closing party for my favorite store, Lula Mae.  (Yes, you read that right – Lula Mae, my happy place, is, sadly, shuttering later this month.  While I am…

  • Vincente Minnelli’s Former Abandoned Mansion

    Vincente Minnelli’s Former Abandoned Mansion

    ‘ Back in February 2012, a fellow stalker named Kayleigh emailed me to ask if I knew anything about the “creepy” mansion located on the southeast corner of West Sunset Boulevard and North Crescent Drive in Beverly Hills.  Her email stated, “There’”‘”‘s very little information on it online other than the fact that Liza Minnelli…

  • Frances’ House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Frances’ House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ One Behind the Candelabra location that I was not able to stalk two weekends ago was the palatial Palm Springs abode belonging to Frances Liberace (Debbie Reynolds), the flamboyant pianist’s overbearing mother, in the 2013 HBO biopic.  So I dragged the Grim Cheaper right on out to do so this past Saturday morning.  And,…

    ‘ It is finally that time of year again, my favorite time of year – October!  And you know what that means – it is the start of my annual Haunted Hollywood postings!  What better way to kick things off than with a location from the much-loved movie Teen Witch? Somehow I only just discovered…

  • Contra Dam from “GoldenEye”

    Contra Dam from “GoldenEye”

    ‘ Sorry to have been M.I.A. the past couple of days.  My dad had surgery last Wednesday and I spent the better portion of the remainder of the week in the hospital with him.  He is having a follow-up surgery this upcoming Wednesday, as well, so this week will also probably be light on posts. …

  • Anavrin from “You”

    Anavrin from “You”

    ‘ I loved Season 1 of You, but Season 2 was even more gripping, engrossing and enjoyable!  I think a large part of that had to do with Anavrin (pronounced “uh-nah-vrin”), the impossibly idyllic grocery store where Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) landed a job in episode 1, “A Fresh Start,” and worked throughout.  The charming…

  • “The Bachelor” Mansion

    “The Bachelor” Mansion

    ‘ I just about died this past Friday afternoon when my US Magazine  arrived in the mail and looming out at me was the headline “Is The Bachelor Fake?”   I have been absolutely enthralled with The Bachelor  this season – and not because I am a fan of Jason Mesnick.  I think the guy is pretty much…
