    Happy Veterans Day!

    ‘ I will be taking today off in honor of Veterans Day, but will be back tomorrow with a whole new post!  A sincere thank you to all of the men and women who have fought for our country over the years, including my dad, grandpa, father-in-law, and brother-in-law. Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • Hilton Checkers Hotel

    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…

  • The Cecil B. DeMille Estate

    The Cecil B. DeMille Estate

    ‘ This past April, the Grim Cheaper’s best friend came to town for a visit and, while he was here, he invited us over for dinner at his parents’ house.  Well, believe you me, because his parents live in the gated Los Feliz celebrity enclave known as Laughlin Park, there was very little arm-twisting involved…

  • Architect Frank Gehry’s House

    Architect Frank Gehry’s House

    ‘ One location that I stalked quite a while back, but have yet to blog about is the residence belonging to legendary 81-year old Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry, a man who is perhaps best known for his contemporary designs of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Downtown Los Angeles, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao,…

    The “Little Miss Sunshine” Motel

    ‘ Another Little Miss Sunshine locale that I desperately wanted to stalk was the supposed Arizona motel where the Hoover family – Olive (Abigail Breslin), Richard (Greg Kinnear), Sheryl (Toni Collette), Dwayne (Paul Dano), Grandpa Edwin (Alan Arkin), and Frank Ginsberg (Steve Carell) – stayed mid-way through their road trip from Albuquerque to Redondo Beach…

    The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “She Knows”

    ‘ The fourth episode of Big Little Lies’ second season is pretty much when the show jumped the shark for me.  Though there were some captivating moments – a pumpkin carving party, a disco soiree and that slap! – the majority of “She Knows” was just meh.  Nevertheless, I proudly present to you its locations! …

  • The “Just Married” Mansion

    The “Just Married” Mansion

    ‘ Since we are currently knee-deep in the middle of wedding planning, a few weeks ago my fiancé and I decided to sit down and finally watch the 2003 movie Just Married for the very first time.  And I have to say that I absolutely LOVED it!  While watching it, though, I became obsessed with…

  • The Former Site of the “Eight Is Enough” House

    The Former Site of the “Eight Is Enough” House

    ‘ One of my biggest filming location pet peeves is when an unfound spot from an old movie or television show is explained away as having been demolished without any evidence to support that allegation.  Like Whitney Houston, I wanna see the receipts!  So when I recently came across an Eight Is Enough message board…

    The “That Thing You Do!” Mailbox Scene

    ‘ Well folks, this post sadly marks the end to my 2013 Haunted Hollywood locales, which is especially depressing because this year was easily the Best. Halloween. Ever.  Once again, the GC and I (dressed up as The Bachelorette’s Emily Maynard and Jef Holm) headed out to our friends’ house in Malibu.  (And yes, I…
