    Charlie Babbitt’s Apartment from “Rain Man”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, I read on fellow stalker Lisa’s Finding the Famous blog that the apartment building where Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise) lived in the 1988 movie Rain Man was located somewhere in the Hollywood Hills.  I, of course, immediately started trying to track down the building’s exact location and fairly quickly…

    ‘ There is no shortage of historic restaurants in Los Angeles that have appeared onscreen.  Despite their abundance, I thought I was well-versed on pretty much all of them.  One I went completely unaware of for years, though, was Saddle Peak Lodge in Calabasas.  I only learned of the 100-plus-year-old eatery in March 2013 while…

    The “FlashForward” FBI Headquarters Building

    ‘ I was thoroughly disappointed to learn about the cancellation of the ABC television series FlashForward earlier this week, as the show was one of my favorites of the 2009 Fall Season.  What makes the cancellation most heartbreaking, though, for me at least, is the fact that because the season finale was filmed long before…
