    Le Petit Bistro from “90210”

    ‘ A couple of Saturday nights ago, the Grim Cheaper and I found ourselves in West Hollywood, tired and hungry after a long day of stalking.  We happened to come across an absolutely adorable little French restaurant named Le Petit Bistro and decided to pop in for a bite to eat.  Now, usually I do…

    Wayne Manor From the “Batman” Television Series

    ‘ Just up the street from the Just Married mansion which I blogged about yesterday is the residence which stood in for Wayne Manor, aka Batman’s abode, in the 1966 television series and movie of the same name.  As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, the Batman mansion and the Just Married mansion are quite often…

  • Redwood Bar & Grill from “Bridesmaids”

    Redwood Bar & Grill from “Bridesmaids”

    ‘ Once the rain finally stopped falling this past Saturday morning, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to downtown Los Angeles to stalk a Bridesmaids location that has been at the very top of my To-Stalk list for months now – Redwood Bar & Grill, where Officer Rhodes (Chris O’Dowd) and Annie Walker (Kristen Wiig)…

  • The “Beaches” Mansion

    The “Beaches” Mansion

    ‘ One location that I have been asked about repeatedly ever since I first started my blog almost four years ago (and I CANNOT even believe that it has been that long!!!) is the large Tudor-style mansion where Hillary Whitney Essex (aka Barbara Hershey) lived in the 1988 tearjerker Beaches.  And while it had long…

  • Frank The Tank!

    Frank The Tank!

    ‘ I have been a student at The Groundlings School for about two years now. The Groundlings is an exceptional improv school that was started in 1972 and is practically a breeding ground for Saturday Night Live actors. Some of the comedic greats who got their start at the Groundlings include Kathy Griffin, Lisa Kudrow,…

  • Villa Restaurant from “Must Love Dogs”

    Villa Restaurant from “Must Love Dogs”

    ‘ Some filming location finds turn out to be a disappointment in person while others wind up to be better than I ever could have imagined.  Today’s stalk – of Villa restaurant from the 2005 romantic comedy Must Love Dogs – was a little bit of both. For several months, I had been on a…

  • California Market Center from “Cruel Intentions”

    California Market Center from “Cruel Intentions”

    ‘ For such a quintessentially “New York” movie, quite a lot of Cruel Intentions was shot in L.A., which I’m only just now discovering.  A few of the more prominent West Coast locales include the modern pad where Blaine Tuttle (Joshua Jackson) lived (it’s actually the Benton House in Brentwood), the Rosemont Estate’s ornate indoor…

  • Brenda Leigh Johnson’s House from “The Closer”

    Brenda Leigh Johnson’s House from “The Closer”

    ‘ I thought I’”‘”‘d take a little break from writing about my nuptials today as I figure there are more than a few stalkers out there who are not at all interested in reading about wedding planning, even when there is a filming location element tied in to it.  Anyway, a few days ago I was going through some old photographs on my…

  • The “Four Christmases” Dance Studio

    The “Four Christmases” Dance Studio

    ‘ I can hardly believe it, but the Christmas season is upon us again!  It seems like just yesterday I was hanging out in a pool celebrating my 40th birthday in June!  I hate how fast time seems to pass, but I do love the holidays and am thrilled to finally be covering a Yuletide-themed…

  • The Next Few Weeks . . .

    The Next Few Weeks . . .

    ‘ I have to apologize for being a bit MIA recently.  My dad is having a pretty major surgery in Los Angeles next week and we have been traveling back and forth to consult with his doctors.  I will be spending the coming weeks in L.A., as well, for his surgery and recovery and while…
