Louise’s House from “Teen Witch”
‘ 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…

Hilton Checkers Hotel
‘ A few months ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, scored the two of us invites to a party and silent auction being held by the Location Managers Guild of America. We had a fab time at the party and got to meet many location scouts, none of whom had any idea that there were people like us out…

Shopping, Shopping and More Shopping!
‘ I spent pretty much all day Friday Christmas shopping (I FINALLY figured out what to get Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, thank God! And yes, it’s pink!), so I unfortunately did not have time to write a post for today. I will be back tomorrow, though, with a whole new location.…

The All American Burger from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”
‘ I was devastated to learn back in early 2010, thanks to fellow stalker Amanda, that The All American Burger on Sunset Boulevard, which masqueraded as Clown Dog restaurant in 1991’s Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, was being turned into a Chipotle Mexican Grill. I never expected that the historic eatery was going to…

Nakatomi Plaza from “Die Hard”

The Grill on Main from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”
‘ Last month, while watching the Season 2 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills titled “Game Night Gone Wild”, I just about fell over when sisters Kim and Kyle Richards (neither of whom I can actually stand) walked into The Grill on Main – a La-Quinta-area eatery that I had been to just…

Retro Dairy Mart from “Say Anything . . . “
‘ “That’s L.A. – they worship everything and they value nothing.” So says Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) while lamenting the closure of a historic jazz club and its subsequent transition into a samba/tapas place in La La Land. Though I did not like the movie (as mentioned previously), I have to agree with Seb on this…

The “Four Christmases” Bar
‘ Last December, while doing research on the Venice residence that was used as the interior of the house belonging to Kate (Reese Witherspoon) and Brad (Vince Vaughn) in Four Christmases (which I blogged about here), I came across this Venice Paper article that stated that the 2008 comedy had also done some filming at…

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…

Pacific Dining Car
‘ My father is currently in the hospital (again) as he just had some minor surgery – and no, it was not caused by me dragging him to filming locations! 🙂 As they say, though, every cloud has a silver lining! Not only has his hospital been used as a filming location, but there is…
