    The LAPD/FBI Headquarters from “The Fast and the Furious”

    ‘ One location that I am asked about constantly is the mid-century modern-style, circular-shaped home that served as the LAPD/FBI undercover headquarters in the 2001 flick The Fast and the Furious.  And while fellow stalker Gary, of the Seeing Stars website, had briefly written about the Beverly Hills property a couple of years ago after…

    The Union Theological Seminary Rotunda from “The Ice Storm”

    ‘ Locations have been making impressions on me for ages, long before I even knew stalking was a thing.  Case in point – way back in 1997 while watching The Ice Storm, I became fixated on the ornate stone staircase Libbets Casey (Katie Holmes) walked down in an early scene.  Even though I only saw…

    The “Easy A” House

    ‘ The Easy A location that I was most excited about stalking while in the Ojai area almost two years ago was, not surprisingly, the charming clapboard residence where Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) lived with her unique family (notice they are all named after a food of some sort) – dad Dill (Stanley Tucci), mom…
