  • The Otto Kahn and James Burden Mansions from “A Perfect Murder”

    The Otto Kahn and James Burden Mansions from “A Perfect Murder”

    ‘ For someone who is so well-versed in all things movie-related, I know very little about Old Hollywood – a fact my mom often admonishes me for.  Case in point – though A Perfect Murder has long been a favorite thriller, I have never seen Dial M for Murder, the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece from…

    “The Perfect Age of Rock & Roll” Premiere

    ‘ As I mentioned yesterday, I was unable to stick around to watch much of the Parks and Recreation filming at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena last Wednesday afternoon as I had promised Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, that I would meet her at Laemmle’s Sunset 5 theatre in West Hollywood that evening…

  • Whitney Houston’s Drug Bust

    Whitney Houston’s Drug Bust

    ‘ Back in January of 2000, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown had a little scuffle with the authorities at Keahole Kona International Airport. So, since I just happen to be in Kona, I had to do a little airport stalking. 🙂 It seems Ms. Houston was departing from Kona after a vacation on the Big…

  • The “Wicked City” Library

    The “Wicked City” Library

    ‘ I have one more Wicked City location up my sleeve (for the time being, at least – I did track down a couple of others after watching the recently-released final five episodes, but have yet to stalk them) – the former Second Church of Christ, Scientist in West Adams, which masked as an L.A.…

  • The Knickerbocker Hotel

    The Knickerbocker Hotel

    ‘ I don’t think there is any property in Los Angeles, perhaps the world, that has seen as much glamour and as much tragedy as the former Knickerbocker Hotel in Hollywood.  Today, the Renaissance Revival/Beau Arts-style structure, which was once dubbed “The Hotel to the Stars,” serves as a retirement home.  And oh, if those…

  • The Never Been Kissed House

    The Never Been Kissed House

    ‘ Last weekend, thanks to fellow stalker Chas, I was able to stalk a location I’”‘”‘ve been on the lookout for for quite some time – Drew Barrymore‘”‘”‘s childhood home from fave romantic comedy Never Been Kissed.   Chas is quite the master stalker, so last week I enlisted his help in finding this location and, lo and…

  • You’re Going to Hollywood, Dog!

    You’re Going to Hollywood, Dog!

    ‘ Got a from Hilary last week to find the apartment building that the Top 12 American Idols just moved into. This challenge was actually a slam dunk as a good friend of mine used to live in the Idols building. So I just called him up and got the address (Thanks, DH!) The Idols…

  • A Mental Health Day!

    A Mental Health Day!

    ‘ After my dad’s two recent surgeries, driving back and forth to the desert twice to be there during both of them, and the many stresses that came along with all of that, this past Friday I decided that I needed a mental health day.  So I got a mani/peni and did some major retail-style…

  • Leaping Off Into The Great Unknown

    Leaping Off Into The Great Unknown

    ‘ Last week, I made a pretty big life changing decision and quit my job. I have decided to pursue acting (and, of course, stalking) full time – no more having a day job and fitting my acting pursuits around it. From now on I am going to pursue acting 100 percent. 🙂 I am…
