    Forest Lawn Memorial Park Hollywood Hills

    ‘ I was all set to publish a blog post today about the Old School  house, but a drive through Burbank yesterday evening caused that plan to go awry.  At around 7 p.m. last night, after running a random errand in Hollywood, I drove home via Forest Lawn Drive in Burbank and practically had to stop my car right in its tracks…

  • Grease is the Word!

    Grease is the Word!

    ‘ Grease has long been a favorite movie of mine, ever since I was a little girl, actually. I still have pictures of my friend Nat and I at eight years old dressed up in her mom’”‘”‘s wigs and 50s clothes acting out scenes from Grease in front of the TV. One of our favorite…

  • The “Ocean’s Eleven” House

    The “Ocean’s Eleven” House

    ‘ One location that I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk last weekend while vacationing in Palm Springs was the supposed-Las-Vegas, Nevada-area residence where Reuben Tishkoff (aka Elliot Gould) lived in the 2001 heist movie Ocean’s Eleven.  I had absolutely fallen in love with the mid-century-modern-style residence while first watching the film just about…

  • Stalking the WB – For the Third Time!

    Stalking the WB – For the Third Time!

    ‘ As I’ve mentioned a few times before, this past October, my good friends from Switzerland came to visit my family for a few weeks.  While they were here, I decided to take them on a Hollywood studio tour.  The only problem was I couldn’t decide exactly which Hollywood studio tour to take them on.  So,…

  • The Rum House from “Birdman”

    The Rum House from “Birdman”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper typically could care less about filming locations, but he is absolutely obsessed with the movie The Godfather.  So I included a couple of locales from the 1972 Best Picture winner on the itinerary for our recent trip to the Big Apple.  One of those spots was Hotel Edison, a historic Theater…

    Taking the Day Off

    ‘ Because some good friends came to town yesterday, I was unfortunately not able to write a new blog post for today.  But I promise to be back on Monday with a whole new location.  So until that time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • Elliott Bay Cafe – The Inspiration for Cafe Nervosa on “Frasier”

    Elliott Bay Cafe – The Inspiration for Cafe Nervosa on “Frasier”

    ‘ Another location that I stalked while visiting the Pacific Northwest this past May was Elliott Bay Cafe – the Seattle-area coffee shop that was the inspiration for Cafe Nervosa on the hit television series Frasier.  I first learned about this location from my good friend Nat, who in turn learned about it a few…

  • Maddox’s School

    Maddox’s School

    ‘ Even though I am 100 percent on Team Aniston, while I was in New York, one of my obsessions was finding Maddox’”‘”‘s school. I was really hoping Brad and Angie would be in town and I could just park myself in front of the school and wait for a sighting. 🙂 But, for this…

  • Jason Priestley’s Former Apartment

    Jason Priestley’s Former Apartment

    ‘ I haven’t been getting much sleep the past few nights and it’s all Jason Priestley’s fault.  His new book, Jason Priestley: A Memoir, has me burning the midnight oil.  The chapters are brief (most only a page or two) and begging to be perused.  I find myself repeatedly thinking ‘I’ll just read one more,’…

  • The “Beautiful Girls” Houses

    The “Beautiful Girls” Houses

    ‘ As I remarked last week, one of my very favorite films of all time is the 1996 flick Beautiful Girls.  But, being that no one that I’ve mentioned the movie to as of late has ever even heard of it, I’m guessing it was pretty much a sleeper hit, despite its all-star cast.  Nevertheless,…
