    Jan’s Duplex from “Beautiful Girls”

    ‘ One of the locations that I was most excited about stalking while in Minnesota three weeks ago (and I can hardly even believe that it’s already been three weeks!) was the duplex where Jan (aka Martha Plimpton) lived in fave movie Beautiful Girls.  The residence is actually located in Hopkins, a city about thirteen…

  • My Latest Article for “L.A.” Mag – A DIY Film Locations Tour

    ‘ The December 2017 issue of Los Angeles magazine hit newsstands last week, featuring an article by yours truly.  The blurb, which can be found on page 93, is a detailed itinerary for a tour of twenty L.A.-area film locales.  If you can’t get your hands on a copy, don’t worry – the article can…

    Marilyn Monroe’s Former Burbank Apartment Building

    ‘ Shortly before I headed to Los Angeles for my weeklong birthday celebration with out-of-town friends Kim, Lavonna, Katie and Kaylee (that’s Katie and Kaylee in the above pic), I came across a Curbed post that mapped 43 properties where my girl Marilyn Monroe once lived.  The blurb practically had me foaming at the mouth,…

    Pickwick’s Pub from “The Office”

    ‘ This past weekend, I dragged my husband (that is SO weird to say!) out to stalk Pickwick’s Pub – the Woodland Hills watering hole that stands in for the Dunder Mifflin gang’s favorite local hangout, Poor Richard’s Pub, on fave show The Office.  And while there is actually a real life Poor Richard’s Pub…

    The “Teen Wolf” Liquor Store

    ‘ While out stalking in the San Gabriel Valley three Thursdays ago, on our way to visit Clark Magnet High School where Kris Witherspoon (my girl Shannen Doherty) went to school in the 1986 television series Our House (which I have yet to blog about), Mike, from MovieShotsLA, made a quick (pardon the pun) detour…

  • Sorry To Do This Again . . .

    Sorry To Do This Again . . .

    ‘ Sorry to do this again, but I have to take another day off.  I have been burning the candle at both ends this week and, unfortunately, have not had much time for blogging.  I do promise to be back tomorrow, though (and this time I really mean it! ) with a whole new location!…

  • 7th Street/Metro Center Station from “Cruel Intentions”

    7th Street/Metro Center Station from “Cruel Intentions”

    ‘ We all have those movie scenes – the ones so dramatic, so full of romance or even so disturbing (like this, for example) that, for better or worse, they remain ingrained in our memories.  Two of my favorites happen to be from the same film and, oddly, it’s a film I don’t even like…

  • Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

    Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

    ‘ Because I am spending the three day weekend in Palm Springs with my family, I will be taking today off from blogging.  But I’ll be back tomorrow with a whole new post.  In the meantime, I’d like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  I hope you…

    The (Probable) Warehouse from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Video

    ‘ Another day, another “Beat It” locale!  After tracking down the probable diner that appeared in “Beat It”, I set my sights on locating the warehouse which was also featured in Michael Jackson’s iconic 1983 music video.  And I really have to say a big thank you to my friend and fellow stalker David in…

  • Alfred Hitchcock’s House from “Hitchcock”

    Alfred Hitchcock’s House from “Hitchcock”

    ‘ Hold on to your hats, my fellow stalkers, ‘cause today’s post is going to be a long one!  A couple of months ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up to let me know that he had just watched a screener of the 2012 biopic Hitchcock (he works at a high-profile production company) and, knowing…
