  • The El Torito Grill from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    The El Torito Grill from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    ‘ As I have mentioned numerous times before on this blog, this stalker has absolutely obsessed herself silly over the movie Crazy, Stupid, Love. So when I discovered, thanks to the flick’s exceedingly extensive production notes, that a couple of scenes had been filmed at the El Torito Grill in the Sherman Oaks Galleria, I…

  • Betty White’s Childhood Home

    Betty White’s Childhood Home

    ‘ While doing research on Afton Arms, the apartment building from the 1985 movie The Boys Next Door (which I blogged about here), I came across a page on the Hollywoodland website which stated that, at the age of eight, actress Betty White lived at a home located at 454 North Harper Avenue in Los…

  • The End – Kime Buzzelli’s Vintage Shop

    The End – Kime Buzzelli’s Vintage Shop

    ‘ As I mentioned in my April post about the Hideaway Saloon (which you can read here), I have been a longtime follower of 90210’s former costume designer Kime Buzzelli on both Twitter and Instagram.  Kime is BEYOND sweet and is always happy to answer questions from fans, whether it be about what a character…

  • Charles Mulligan’s Steakhouse from “Parks and Recreation”

    Charles Mulligan’s Steakhouse from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ This past March I wrote The Complete Parks and Recreation Guide to Los Angeles for L.A. magazine.  At the time of the posting, though, I had yet to visit every location featured on the list.  The most glaring omission from my stalking profile was Whiskey Bend, the Burbank bar that masqueraded as Charles Mulligan’s…

  • Happy Labor Day!

    Happy Labor Day!

    ‘ I would like to wish a very happy Labor Day to all of my fellow stalkers.  I am taking today off, but will be back on Wednesday with a whole new post.  Sorry to have been a bit MIA lately, but the Grim Cheaper and I have been traveling a lot and I have…

  • Taking the Week Off

    Taking the Week Off

    ‘ My best friends are currently visiting from Switzerland, so I will be taking the next week off from blogging.  I will hopefully be back to regular scheduled programming by the 24th – or the 26th at the latest.  See you then! ‘

  • Villa Primavera – The “In a Lonely Place” Apartment Building

    Villa Primavera – The “In a Lonely Place” Apartment Building

    ‘ While doing research on the Double Indemnity house, which I blogged about a couple of weeks ago, I came across some information about Villa Primavera – a courtyard-style apartment building that was featured in the 1950 film noir classic In a Lonely Place.  I immediately became intrigued with the West-Hollywood-area building due to an…

  • The Brothers and Sisters House

    The Brothers and Sisters House

    ‘ Got a last week from who wanted me to do some stalking of the house used in the ABC series . I’”‘”‘d actually gotten this challenge once before, but since I had never really watched the show, I hadn’”‘”‘t put much effort into stalking it. But then I saw the house on and he…

  • The “Secrets and Lies” Brothel

    The “Secrets and Lies” Brothel

    ‘ I found the second season of Secrets and Lies abysmal – which is surprising being that, on paper, it contained several elements that should have made it a sure-fire hit in my book.  Murder mystery premise?  Check!  Shot in L.A.?  Check!  And it starred both AnnaLynne McCord (from my beloved 90210) and David James…

  • Santa Fe Depot from “The Trouble with Angels”

    Santa Fe Depot from “The Trouble with Angels”

    ‘ It is no secret that I love abandoned places, especially during this time of year.  (What I wouldn’t give to be able to see this in person!)  Recently I stalked Monrovia’s former Santa Fe Railroad Depot and it had my heart going pitter-patter.  The now defunct train station is also a filming location and,…
