    Ray’s Pumpkins

    ‘ Last week, thanks to Mike over at , I was able to stalk the pumpkin patch that was owned by Ray Pruit’”‘”‘s family on the original . I was shocked when Mike told me that the property where filming took place is the location of an actual pumpkin patch in real life. I had…

  • Brand Library from “Scorpion”

    Brand Library from “Scorpion”

    ‘ I am probably the only person you will ever hear say this, but I absolutely loved working as a background actor in Hollywood.  Sure, the hours were long and unpredictable and the work tedious and repetitive, but the opportunities I was afforded to be up-close-and-personal with the inner workings of movie and television production…

  • Lynn Bracken’s House

    Lynn Bracken’s House

    ‘ Thanks to E.J. over at The Movieland Directory, I was able to do a bit more LA Confidential stalking this weekend. As I mentioned in a previous post, LA Confidential is one of my mom’”‘”‘s favorite movies of all time. She has always been in love with the houses and bungalows used in the…

    Aroma Coffee & Tea Company in Studio City

    ‘ As I mentioned in Monday’s post, despite my drama-filled day on Friday, this past weekend actually turned out to be pretty darn nice.  It all started with a Saturday morning stalking trip out to Studio City’s Aroma Coffee & Tea Company, which I had read about the previous week while doing some online research…

  • The Starbucks from “The Morning Show”

    The Starbucks from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ I love a good Starbucks location!  I mean, what’s better than stalking and being able to pick up a great cup of coffee at the same time?  So I was thrilled to recognize an outpost of the java giant while watching the fifth episode of The Morning Show, titled “No One’s Gonna Harm You,…

    Hyatt Westlake Plaza from “The Karate Kid”

    ‘ 2014 was definitely the year of The Karate Kid.  Not only did the flick turn thirty, but two of its missing locations were finally found – Mr. Miyagi’s house, which I blogged about here, and the fictional Encino Oaks Country Club, which, as it turns out, was actually the Hyatt Westlake Plaza hotel in…

  • Our Lady of Solitude Church from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Our Lady of Solitude Church from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ Another Palm Springs’ Behind the Candelabra location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked recently was Our Lady of Solitude Church, where the funeral for Liberace (Michael Douglas) was held in the recently-aired HBO biopic.  This locale was especially interesting because in a case of art imitating life, it was where the flamboyant pianist’s…

  • Martin Weir’s Mansion from “Get Shorty”

    Martin Weir’s Mansion from “Get Shorty”

    ‘ While out and about stalking in Beverly Hills two weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me on a minor detour to see the mansion where movie star Martin Weir (Danny DeVito) lived in the 1995 comedy Get Shorty.  I LOVE the scene that took place at Martin’s pad, so I was beyond excited to…

  • The Orchid Tree Inn

    The Orchid Tree Inn

    ‘ It’s no secret that there’s nothing this stalker loves more than an abandoned site.  Throw in a waterless pool and I am an even happier camper.  So a couple of months ago when I passed by an abandoned motel that appeared extremely accessible in downtown Palm Springs, I immediately pulled the car over for…
