    Latest “L.A.” Mag Post – The “Taken” Apartments

  • Charlie’s Angels

    Charlie’s Angels

    ‘ I must admit that I absolutely loved the first Charlie’”‘”‘s Angels movie, so when I found the location of the headquarters of Charles Townsend Investigations in my stalking tome last weekend, I just had to stalk it. This same location was used in both the filming of the Charlie’”‘”‘s Angels television show back in…

    Halloween 2016 at the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride

    ‘ I love anything and everything having to do with the ‘80s.  So when I started hearing buzz about Stanger Things, a horror series on Netflix with deep ‘80s undertones, this past summer, I knew I’d be hooked.  The Grim Cheaper and I finally sat down to binge-watch it in August and immediately became obsessed,…

    Hal’s Bar & Grill from “13 Going on 30”

    ‘ Last week, while shopping in Venice Beach with my girls Lavonna, Kim, Katie and Kaylee, we made a brief stalking stop at Hal’s Bar & Grill, which appeared in one of my favorite movies of all time, 13 Going on 30.  During our visit, we happened to have the good fortune to speak with…

  • Cole’s House from “The Sixth Sense”

    Cole’s House from “The Sixth Sense”

    ‘ Locations stick with me.  They just do.  Obviously.  One that stuck with me above the realm of normalcy, though, is the handsome brick townhouse where Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) lived in The Sixth Sense. Even though I’ve only actually seen the 1999 thriller once, the image of Bruce Willis as child psychologist Malcolm…

  • Westfield Culver City from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

    Westfield Culver City from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

    ‘ Some filming locations are maddeningly elusive.  One that remained a thorn in my side for ages was the mall where Janey Glenn (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Lynne Stone (Helen Hunt) shopped in Girls Just Want to Have Fun, which, for those who haven’t been paying attention over the years, is one of my all-time…

  • All Star Lanes from “Glee”

    All Star Lanes from “Glee”

    ‘ Another Eagle Rock-area location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I stalked a few weeks back after our venture to the nearby Eagle Rock Plaza Mall was All Star Lanes – the bowling alley where Finn Hudson (aka Cory Monteith) took Rachel Berry (aka Lea Michele) on a date in the Season 1 episode of…

  • Whirlwind Weekend

    Whirlwind Weekend

    ‘ I spent this past weekend in San Francisco celebrating my grandma’s 90th birthday.  The family threw her a surprise party and to say she was bowled over would be an understatement.  We had an absolute blast and I can’t think of a better way to have spent my Valentine’s.  For the evening, one of…

  • The YWCA Hollywood Studio Club from “Dexter”

    The YWCA Hollywood Studio Club from “Dexter”

    ‘ Aside from Sex and the City’s, I don’t think there’s ever been a television finale that I loved. Dexter’s, in my opinion, was the absolute worst.  But I was thoroughly mesmerized by the location chosen to portray Rendall Psychiatric Hospital, the ultra creepy abandoned lair of the Brain Surgeon Killer, Oliver Saxon (Darri Ingolfsson),…

  • The “ALF” House

    The “ALF” House

    ‘ One location that I have been asked about repeatedly over the years is the Tudor-style home where the Tanner family – Willie (Max Wright), Kate (Anne Schedeen), Lynn (Andrea Elson), Brian (Benji Gregory), and their Melmacian house guest, ALF (who was voiced by series creator Paul Fusco) – lived in the 1986 television series…
