    New L.A. Mag Post – About “American Sniper’s” L.A. Locations

    ‘ Make sure to read today’s Los Angeles magazine post – about American Sniper’s L.A. filming locations.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • The Hartunian House from “Alpha Dog”

    The Hartunian House from “Alpha Dog”

    ‘ Another Palm-Springs-area locale that fellow stalker/location scout Scott Trimble, of the STS Locations website, helped me to find recently was the residence where Frankie Ballenbacher’s (aka Justin Timberlake’s) good friend/”Witness #11”, Susan Hartunian (aka Dominique Swain), lived with her utterly clueless and apathetic mother, Tiffany Hartunian (aka ER’s Alex Kingston), in the 2006 movie…

  • The “Clueless” Mall

    The “Clueless” Mall

    ‘ As evidenced by yesterday’s post, I have been on a major Clueless filming locations kick as of late.  One spot about which much conflicting information has been reported online is the mall (or malls) that appeared in the 1995 flick.  Some sites stipulate Westside Pavilion in Rancho Park was used, some surmise the Beverly…

  • The Knots Landing Cul-De-Sac

    The Knots Landing Cul-De-Sac

    ‘ The first time I heard about the wildly popular 80s primetime soap opera Knots Landing  was when it was referenced in the Season 2 episode of Beverly Hills, 90210  entitled “Wild Fire”.  In the episode, after getting into a fight with Brenda over Dylan McKay‘”‘”‘s affections, Emily Valentine announces “This isn’”‘”‘t Beverly Hills, it’”‘”‘s Knots Landing!…

    Whitney’s NYC Pad

    ‘ I don’”‘”‘t know about you all, but I have been glued to my television set the past two Monday nights watching Whitney Port’”‘”‘s new Hills spinoff entitled The City. I must admit that the show has been quite lackluster and nowhere near as enthralling as The Hills, but I just can’”‘”‘t help myself. I…

  • The John Ferraro Building

    The John Ferraro Building

    ‘ I was recently interviewed for an exciting new project (more details to come) and in my talks with producers beforehand was asked if I had any ideas about where the interview could take place.  They were hoping to meet up at a filming location that I felt best represented the spirt of L.A.  I…

  • On The Set of “CSI: Miami”

    On The Set of “CSI: Miami”

    ‘ This past Friday, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took the day off from work so that the two of us could do a little stalking.  For whatever reason, though, for the first time ever we didn’t come up with any sort of plan or itinerary beforehand of where we were going to go or what we…

  • Fosselman’s Ice Cream from “Phantasm”

    Fosselman’s Ice Cream from “Phantasm”

    ‘ When I was a little girl, my grandma would regularly take me out for an afterschool treat at our local ice cream parlor.  I cherished those trips, and now the memories of them, and was absolutely devastated when the parlor closed down about 15 years ago only to be replaced by a gift store. …

  • Kim’s New House from “L!fe Happens”

    Kim’s New House from “L!fe Happens”

    ‘ Once I had tracked down the main house used in L!fe Happens (you can read that post here), as well as Auntie Em’s Kitchen, which also appeared in the flick (you can read that post here), I became more than a little obsessed with finding the cottage that Kim (Krysten Ritter) rented towards the…

  • Fog City Diner from “So I Married an Axe Murderer”

    Fog City Diner from “So I Married an Axe Murderer”

    ‘ I abhor change, as longtime readers of this site well know.  So I was devastated to learn that Fog City Diner, the landmark eatery in my hometown of San Francisco, had undergone a major revamp and reopened as the simpler, sleeker and far more modern “Fog City.”  The shiny chrome train-like structure situated on…
