  • Liberace’s House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Liberace’s House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ Two Sunday nights ago, I (along with the rest of the world) was glued to my television set watching Behind the Candelabra, the HBO biopic about legendary pianist Liberace (Michael Douglas) and his teenaged lover, Scott Thorson (Matt Damon).  I have to say that I was a bit disappointed when all was said and…

  • Trudi’s Apartment Building from “L.A. Story”

    Trudi’s Apartment Building from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ Last month, when I published my post on the location of the iconic talking freeway sign from L.A. Story, a friend named David, whom I met in an acting class years ago, sent me a Facebook message letting me know that the unique, modern-style apartment building where Trudi (Marilu Henner) lived in the flick…

  • Saddle Peak Lodge from “Bones”

    Saddle Peak Lodge from “Bones”

    ‘ There is no shortage of historic restaurants in Los Angeles that have appeared onscreen.  Despite their abundance, I thought I was well-versed on pretty much all of them.  One I went completely unaware of for years, though, was Saddle Peak Lodge in Calabasas.  I only learned of the 100-plus-year-old eatery in March 2013 while…

  • 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 Skyline Residence – Jacob’s House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    The Skyline Residence – Jacob’s House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    ‘ Back in August, I received an email from a fellow stalker named Brandon who wanted to let me know that he had tracked down the ultra-modern abode where Jacob Palmer (aka Ryan Gosling) lived in Crazy, Stupid, Love.  At the time I had yet to see the movie, but added the address to my…

  • InvenTORI – Tori Spelling’s New Store

    InvenTORI – Tori Spelling’s New Store

    ‘ This past Friday afternoon, I just about died upon opening up the latest issue of US Magazine and reading in “The Records” section that, on Valentine’s Day, Beverly Hills, 90210–star Tori Spelling and her husband, Dean McDermott, had held the grand opening for their new antique store, InvenTORI (love it!), on Ventura Boulevard in…

  • Zipper Concert Hall from “The West Wing”

    Zipper Concert Hall from “The West Wing”

    ‘ Most actors will tell you that extra work is the worst.  But when I first landed in L.A. back in 2000, I did quite a bit of it and couldn’t have enjoyed myself more.  Just being on a movie or television set was surreal and provided an indelible opportunity to observe the inner workings…

  • The Occult Store from “The Craft”

    The Occult Store from “The Craft”

    ‘ I often receive emails from fellow stalkers who are planning trips to Los Angeles and want some help in tracking down a favorite film or television location.  The emails always give me a pang of recognition.  I was that stalker once upon a time.  During one of my first trips to L.A., I was…

  • David Santiago’s House from “Post Grad”

    David Santiago’s House from “Post Grad”

    ‘ Unfortunately, this stalker is currently suffering from a bad cold (which, for some reason, always seems to happen to me right before the holidays) and thanks to the fact that I cannot breath out of my nose and have taken copious amounts of NyQuil, I am feeling just a wee bit out of it…

  • The “Lady Bird” House

    The “Lady Bird” House

    ‘ I know I am in the minority when I say I did not like Lady Bird.  Besides confusion over the name (up until I actually popped in the DVD and started watching, I thought the movie was a biopic about Lady Bird Johnson) and a storyline that seemed lacking, I found the main character,…
