  • Hall of Justice

    Hall of Justice

    ‘ In the early hours of August 5th, 1962, screen star Marilyn Monroe was found dead in the bedroom of her Brentwood home.  Later that same day, her body was brought to the Hall of Justice in downtown Los Angeles for an autopsy.  I only learned that factoid a couple of years ago and immediately…

  • Woodsboro Police Station from “Scream”

    Woodsboro Police Station from “Scream”

    ‘ Happy, happy Halloween!  I can’t believe it is already time to wind down my Haunted Hollywood posts, but here we are.  Another October in the books!  The season definitely turned into a full-blown Scream-fest on the blog (as predicted a couple of weeks ago) and I am a-OK with it!  Amazingly, there are still…

  • The Millennium Biltmore Hotel’s Gold Room from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    The Millennium Biltmore Hotel’s Gold Room from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ Some locations hit you like a ton of bricks.  Today’s locale was one of those spots.  For ages, I had been trying to track down the supposed Las Vegas casino prominently featured in the Season 4 episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 titled “And Did It . . . My Way.”  I was fairly certain…

  • Donna’s House from “Rosewood”

    Donna’s House from “Rosewood”

    ‘ I’ve never met a police procedural I didn’t like.  When one centers around an insanely charming male lead who constantly (and comically) spars with his cynical female partner, it’s a guarantee it will make my top ten.  Such was the case with the FOX drama Rosewood, which began airing in 2015.  For those who…

  • The Exterior of the Bar from “13 Going On 30”

    The Exterior of the Bar from “13 Going On 30”

    ‘ Another filming location I have been absolutely obsessed with finding for YEARS is the New York restaurant where Jenna hit on the 13 year old boy in fave romantic comedy 13 Going On 30. Ever since the movie was released four years ago I have been searching New York City streets hoping to find…

    Happy Memorial Day!

  • Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle’s Former West Adams Houses

    Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle’s Former West Adams Houses

    ‘ I just finished reading a fabulous book about one of Hollywood’s first and biggest controversies titled Room 1219:  The Life of Fatty Arbuckle, the Mysterious Death of Virginia Rappe, and the Scandal That Changed Hollywood by Greg Merritt.  Prior to reading the tome, I knew little about actor/comedian Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, but had always…

  • The “Forever Marilyn” Statue in Palm Springs

    The “Forever Marilyn” Statue in Palm Springs

    ‘ Back in December the Grim Cheaper’s boss, while on vacation in Chicago, spotted a huge statue of my girl Miss Marilyn Monroe towering above the Michigan Avenue skyline and texted me a picture of it.  Well, as you can imagine, I just about lost my mind upon seeing the looming bronze effigy and told…

    Runyon Ranch from “Scream 3”

    ‘ Another Scream 3 filming location that I had long wanted to stalk was Runyon Ranch – the large hilltop home where actress Jennifer Jolie (Parker Posey) lived in the 2000 thriller. I first found out about the locale from fave stalking book Hollywood Escapes: The Moviegoer’s Guide to Exploring Southern California’s Great Outdoors, but…
