    My Latest Interview with BH9021Whoa

    ‘ I recently sat down to chat all things 90210 with LeeAnn from the fabulous BH9021Whoa website.   (That’s her header pictured above – yep, she photoshopped her face onto Shannen Doherty’s body.  A woman after my own heart, I swear!)  Be sure to head over to her site to check out the interview. P.S. The…

    The Bel Age Hotel from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ Ah, change.  It’s one of my least favorite things, especially when it comes to filming locations.  So I was devastated when the Wyndham Bel Age Hotel, one of the most prominent locations from Beverly Hills, 90210, closed in 2007 to undergo a huge renovation and was renamed The London West Hollywood.  I had been…

  • The “L.A. Story” Brunch Restaurant

    The “L.A. Story” Brunch Restaurant

    ‘ One L.A. Story location that I never in a million years thought I would be able to stalk was the exterior of the fictional Dr. Dalmar’s eatery (said to be located on the corner of Sunset and Crescent), where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) and his girlfriend Trudi (Marilu Henner) brunched with some friends…

  • The Garland Hotel from “Parks and Recreation”

    The Garland Hotel from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ A couple of years ago, I drove by a hotel that looked like a little slice of retro heaven and became transfixed.  I made a mental note of its name and vowed to research it further.  As soon as I got home, though, I realized the name had escaped me and, because I have…

    Taking the Day Off

    ‘ Because I spent all day Friday taking care of my dad, who was not feeling well, and the rest of the weekend at the Hyatt Huntington Beach (pictured above), the spot which stands in for the new Beverly Hills Beach Club on fave show 90210, I was unfortunately not able to write a new…

  • The Grill on the Alley from “The Holiday”

    The Grill on the Alley from “The Holiday”

    ‘ This past weekend, while wandering through my local Target with the Grim Cheaper, I happened to spot a DVD of fave movie The Holiday on sale for $3.99!  When I saw that the special features included a commentary with director Nancy Meyers and a making-of featurette, I just about flipped my lid and immediately…

  • The Site of Ariel’s House from “L.A. Story”

    The Site of Ariel’s House from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ One L.A. Story location that I tracked down and stalked months ago, but has since become a bit of a conundrum to me, is the apartment building – or house – where Ariel (Susan Forristal), the best friend of wacky weatherman Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin), lived.  Finding the locale was pretty much a…

  • My Day on the Set of “90210”

    My Day on the Set of “90210”

    ‘ As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago in my post about the Hideaway Saloon (which you can read here), I was devastated to learn of the cancellation of fave show 90210 – especially being that the cast and crew were informed of said cancellation while in the midst of shooting what was to…

  • Grayson Manor from “Revenge”

    Grayson Manor from “Revenge”

    ‘ My favorite location from the television series Revenge is Grayson Manor, the massive Hamptons estate that originally belonged to the dysfunctional Grayson family, but is currently home to Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp).  It seems that pretty much everyone who watches the show is as obsessed with the house as I am and there are…

  • Taking Another Two Days Off

    ‘ My dad had surgery yesterday to implant a permanent morphine pump in his body which will hopefully stop his chronic pain and because I was out in the desert with him, I did not have time to write a new post.  So I will be taking today, as well as tomorrow, off.  But I…
