Marilyn Monroe’s Catalina House
‘ The most important item on my Catalina Island stalking list was the home where a very young Marilyn Monroe lived with her first husband James Dougherty during the years 1943 to 1944. This was long before Miss Monroe became a Hollywood icon and household name, back when she was just a girl who was…

Hotel Angeleno from “Heat”
‘ The Grim Cheaper and I travel back and forth to L.A. so often that sometimes I feel like I live in a hotel – which is not a bad thing, I ADORE hotels. One that we checked into recently that I absolutely loved was the Hotel Angeleno. Not only is the place’s architecture unique,…

Granville Towers – Portia de Rossi’s Former Home
‘ I just recently finished reading Portia de Rossi’s new memoir Unbearable Lightness and I have to say that it was easily one of the best books I have ever read in my entire life! I literally could NOT put it down. The memoir is a harrowing account of the actress’ long-time eating disorder which…

Joe Jost’s from “Win a Date with Tad Hamilton”
‘ As I’ve mentioned countless times before, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton is one of my all time favorite movies.

Strand Book Store from “Sex and the City”

The Bedtime Stories House
‘ Got a challenge last week from fellow stalker Owen who wanted me to find Courteney Cox’”‘”‘s house from the 2008 movie Bedtime Stories.

Guasti Villa from "Veep"
‘ It’s no secret how much I hate incorrect filming location information. But sometimes errant info can lead to good things. Case in point – back in 2012, an article was published about the Los Angeles locales featured in The Artist. One of the sites detailed was Guasti Villa, aka Busby Berkeley’s former Jefferson Park…

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.…
