  • The Bedtime Stories School

    The Bedtime Stories School

    ‘ Last week, while searching for the Bedtime Stories  house, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I decided to also try to find the school featured in the movie.  We started our search by looking at street views of different elementary schools in the Los Angeles area, but pretty much came up empty-handed.  So, I decided to once…

  • Hanging Out on the Set of 90210!

    Hanging Out on the Set of 90210!

    ‘ I have to take a day off once again today – I know, I know, I’”‘”‘m sorry! 🙁 – due to the fact that I spent all day yesterday hanging out watching the filming of 90210 in Pasadena and therefore did not have time to write a post. The whole thing was an absolutely…

  • Flash Forward!

    Flash Forward!

    ‘ This past weekend, while out doing some stalking, my boyfriend and I happened upon a rather large film shoot that shut down an entire block in Downtown Los Angeles.  So, of course, we just had to pull the car over to find out what was being filmed.  🙂  Turns out it was the pilot episode of a…

    ‘ Be sure to read today’s Los Angeles magazine post – about numerous locations from Paul Thomas Anderson movies.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • The “Poison Ivy” Mansion

    The “Poison Ivy” Mansion

    ‘ Back in early August, Drew Barrymore aficionado Ashley, from the Drewseum website, challenged me to find the large pink mansion belonging to the  Cooper family – Sylvie (aka Sara Gilbert), Darryl (aka Tom Skerritt), and Georgie (aka Cheryl Ladd) – in the 1992 thriller Poison Ivy.  But because I was just a few weeks…

  • Poolside Getaway

    Poolside Getaway

    ‘ My parents surprised us by booking a little poolside family getaway for the week, so I will not have any new posts this week aside from my usual Los Angeles magazine column on Thursday (it’”‘”‘s a really exciting one – I’”‘”‘m telling the story of my favorite only-in-L.A. moment!).  I will be laptoping it…

  • Ontario Airport Inn from “Poltergeist”

    Ontario Airport Inn from “Poltergeist”

    ‘ In “I must be living under a rock” news, I had no idea that a Poltergeist remake had debuted in 2015 – in 3D, no less!  Considering the so-called curse that plagued the OG trilogy, I’d have to think long and hard before signing up to be a part of any sort of reboot! …

  • Mayfield Senior School from “All About Steve”

    Mayfield Senior School from “All About Steve”

    ‘ Stalkings can come about from the most random of situations.  Many, many moons ago, I joined a grief group (long story) where I met a woman who worked at Mayfield Senior School in Pasadena.  During one of our sessions, she happened to mention that filming took place on the campus regularly and my ears…

  • "I’d Like to Exchange an Egg . . . "

    "I’d Like to Exchange an Egg . . . "

    ‘ At the risk of this site becoming strictly a blog about 90210, I just had to do a post about another location from the iconic 90s television show. I finally got Season 2 of the series on DVD and this weekend I spent many hours glued to my television set watching it. And I…

  • Liberace’s Former Home

    Liberace’s Former Home

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while doing some stalking in the Valley, I became a bit obsessed with locating the home where legendary pianist Liberace lived back in the 1950s.  I first heard about this location, ironically enough, from comedian and Whose Line Is It Anyway? star Ryan Stiles, who also owned the property…
