    Tilly’s House from “Flaked”

    ‘ I never thought I’d say I’m in love with a gate, but here we are.  Back in March 2016, my Los Angeles magazine editor assigned me a piece chronicling the locations from the then-new Netflix series Flaked.  I got to work researching right away and one spot immediately stood out among the rest –…

    The Seven Year Itch Apartment

    ‘ In October 2008 cover story, photographer Mark Anderson asks “Who ever forgets the first time they saw Marilyn Monroe?” Such a great quote!

    Scrubs!

    ‘ Last week I attended an acting class in North Hollywood and I happened to get a little bit lost on my way there. I turned onto a small side street off Riverside Drive and wound up in what I thought was a parking lot. But when I saw a guard shack with a large…

    Hummingbird Nest Ranch from “Book Club”

    ‘ One of my favorite stalking stories involves the Grim Cheaper and Sex and the City: The Movie, which I saw right when it came out in late May 2008.  I was gifted Amy Sohn’s book about the film for my birthday just a few days later and while it did a fabulous job of…

    Cary Grant’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    ‘ Another Cary Grant location (and I promise that this is the last of them for a while for those who are hoping for a change of pace) that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked while vacationing in the Palm Springs area two weekends ago was the “Cary Grant Estate”, aka “Las Palomas”, the Andalusian-style,…

    The Macy’s at Burbank Town Center Mall from “The Mentalist”

    ‘ One spooky-type location that I have had on my To-Stalk list for just about forever now is the Macy’s department store located inside of the Burbank Town Center Mall, which was featured as a murder site in the Season 2 episode of fave show The Mentalist titled “Redemption”.  And while I had recognized the…

    Jimmie’s House from “Pulp Fiction” – the Correct One!

    ‘ Last week, a location photographer named Cris emailed me to ask for some stalking help.  Turns out he had just scouted a house located at 4507 Kraft Avenue in Studio City and the owner (who bought the abode in 2009) had informed him that the residence had been used as Jimmie Dimmick’s (Quentin Tarantino’s)…

    The House from Ben Affleck’s “Men’s Journal” Photo Shoot

    ‘ If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times – I hate incorrect filming location information!  I recently encountered some erroneous reporting which led me to stalk a site that, come to find out, does not actually have any movie or television connections (at least, none that I could dig up).  Hmph! …
