    Bean Town from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ Big Little Lies sure made use of Sierra Madre this season (in case you missed my other posts on the city’s BLL appearances, you can check them out here, here and here).  And it is not very hard to see why.  The San Gabriel Valley town, situated just east of Pasadena, is charming, picturesque…

  • Poolside Getaway

    Poolside Getaway

    ‘ My parents surprised us by booking a little poolside family getaway for the week, so I will not have any new posts this week aside from my usual Los Angeles magazine column on Thursday (it’”‘”‘s a really exciting one – I’”‘”‘m telling the story of my favorite only-in-L.A. moment!).  I will be laptoping it…

  • Donna’s House from “Rosewood”

    Donna’s House from “Rosewood”

    ‘ I’ve never met a police procedural I didn’t like.  When one centers around an insanely charming male lead who constantly (and comically) spars with his cynical female partner, it’s a guarantee it will make my top ten.  Such was the case with the FOX drama Rosewood, which began airing in 2015.  For those who…

  • A FABULOUS Halloween!
  • Paula’s House from “Four Christmases”

    Paula’s House from “Four Christmases”

    ‘ While I realize that the holidays are now over and that I should be posting about a non-Yule-related locale, today’s house is one that I have been searching for for over a year and finally found on the morning of December 25th – yes, it was a Christmas miracle – and I am FAR…

  • Vasquez Rocks County Park

    Vasquez Rocks County Park

    ‘ One location that I have been dying to stalk for what seems like ages now is Vasquez Rocks County Park in Agua Dulce, California.  I first read about the park in fave stalking book Hollywood Escapes: The Moviegoer’s Guide to Exploring Southern California’s Great Outdoors about 7 months ago and absolutely begged my fiancé…

  • The Schaffer Residence from “A Single Man”

    The Schaffer Residence from “A Single Man”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, I dragged my new husband out to stalk an architecturally and cinematically famous house located in Glendale at the base of the Verdugo Mountains – the John Lautner-designed Schaffer Residence which appeared in fashion designer Tom Ford’s directorial debut, A Single Man.  I found this location thanks to fellow…

  • The Convenience Store from “Can’t Hardly Wait”

    The Convenience Store from “Can’t Hardly Wait”

    ‘ My buddy, fellow stalker Owen of the When Write Is Wrong blog, is a huge Jennifer Love Hewitt fan.  Like huge.  He is also a fan of filming locations and, over the years, has managed to track down the vast majority of locales featured in his fave JLH movie, 1998’s Can’t Hardly Wait.  One…

  • The Los Angeles Filming Locations of “Hocus Pocus”

    The Los Angeles Filming Locations of “Hocus Pocus”

    ‘ It’s finally here, folks!  The day I wait for all year long.  Halloween!  I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a fabulous, spooky and safe holiday!  I figured what better way to celebrate my favorite day than with a post about one of the world’s most beloved Halloween movies, Hocus Pocus.  Last week,…

  • The Wrong-Door Raid Apartments

    The Wrong-Door Raid Apartments

    ‘ One of the most infamous (and humorous) scandals to ever rock Tinseltown involved my girl Miss Marilyn Monroe and her second ex-husband, legendary baseball player Joe DiMaggio.  (Their relationship wasn’t always sunshine and roses.)  Known as the Wrong-Door Raid, it occurred in the late night hours of November 5th, 1954, but did not become…
