    The Valmont Mansion from “Cruel Intentions”

    ‘ I have never been a fan of the movie Cruel Intentions (though the 1999 drama does feature one of my favorite onscreen moments).  But during my April 2016 trip to the Big Apple, my good friend/fellow stalker Owen, from the When Write Is Wrong blog, took me to stalk the Upper East Side estate…

    The “How to Marry a Millionaire” Apartment Building

    Andrew’s House from “Hidden Away”

    ‘ Ah yes, another Hidden Away locale.  I promise this is the last one!  Despite the fact that the 2013 Lifetime Original Movie was laughably bad, I became obsessed with tracking down all of its locations, mainly due to the fact that it was lensed for the most part in Palm Springs.  (You can read…
