    The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “I Want to Know”

    ‘ Season 2 of Big Little Lies comes to an end with “I Want to Know,” as does my episode-by-episode coverage of its locations.  Hope you enjoyed reading through the posts as much as I enjoyed putting them together.  So, without further ado . . . (Note – as was the case with my posts…

  • The Plaza Hotel – New York’s Most Exciting Hotel Experience?

    The Plaza Hotel – New York’s Most Exciting Hotel Experience?

    ‘ One New York building that I have long been wanting to stalk is the famed Plaza Hotel – a location that was referred to in Home Alone 2: Lost In New York as “New York’”‘”‘s most exciting hotel experience”. During my first trip to the Big Apple, in December of 2005, the Plaza was…

  • Anavrin from “You”

    Anavrin from “You”

    ‘ I loved Season 1 of You, but Season 2 was even more gripping, engrossing and enjoyable!  I think a large part of that had to do with Anavrin (pronounced “uh-nah-vrin”), the impossibly idyllic grocery store where Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) landed a job in episode 1, “A Fresh Start,” and worked throughout.  The charming…

  • 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 Union Theological Seminary Rotunda from “The Ice Storm”

    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 “Four Christmases” House

    The “Four Christmases” House

    ‘ Today’s location is a big one, my fellow stalkers!  Well, it is for me, at least, being that it took me years to find it, as I mentioned in last Friday’s post.  Yes, I am talking about the ultra-modern and gorgeous hilltop home where Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) lived in the…

  • Jim and Pam’s Wedding Church from “The Office”

    Jim and Pam’s Wedding Church from “The Office”

    ‘ Another wedding-themed location that I stalked recently was the San Fernando Valley-area church where Jim Halpert (aka John Krasinski) married Pam Beesly (aka Jenna Fischer) in the Season Six episode of my new favorite show The Office titled “Niagara”.  I found out about this location quite a while ago, thanks to both fellow stalker…

    Barney’s Beanery in West Hollywood

    ‘ Another location that has long been stockpiled (or should I say stalk-piled?) in my ever-growing stalking backlog is the original Barney’s Beanery restaurant in West Hollywood, which has been featured in numerous productions over the years and which I visited with fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, this past July.  For whatever reason,…

  • Dick Clark’s Former Malibu Home

    Dick Clark’s Former Malibu Home

    ‘ Last June, my Grandma sent me an article about legendary television personality Dick Clark’s former Flintstones-style Malibu home, calling it “unbelievable” and asking if I could track it down and stalk it.  One look at the photographs of the cave-like structure, which had recently been put on the market, and I was in!  And…

    Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Back in grade school, my friend Nat introduced me to a little 80s flick starring Sarah Jessica Parker called and from that moment on I have been absolutely obsessed. Along with my other fave 80s movie, , I literally think I watched at least…
