    Bryant-Lake Bowl from “Beautiful Girls”

    ‘ To appease my good friend and fellow stalker Mike, from MovieShotsLA, who has been on my case ALL WEEK about my constant Minnesota blogging, beginning tomorrow I will be returning to my old stomping grounds, so to speak, by writing about locales in the Los Angeles area.  Unfortunately for Mike, though, there are still…

  • The Numb3rs House

    The Numb3rs House

    ‘ Ever since the pilot episode of the TV show aired back in 2005, I was totally obsessed with finding the location of Charlie’”‘”‘s large Craftsman style house. American Craftsman Style architecture became popular towards the end of the 19th Century and usually combines huge front porches, handcrafted woodwork and clean lines. Craftsman houses are…

    The “Crossroads” Grocery Store

    ‘ Special Note – I attended a taping of Ellen yesterday afternoon and ended up being ON the show as one of her game contestants.  🙂 🙂 🙂  The episode will air today, so tune in!  I absolutely CANNOT wait to see it!  And now, on with the post . . . A couple of weeks…

  • The “ALF” House

    The “ALF” House

    ‘ One location that I have been asked about repeatedly over the years is the Tudor-style home where the Tanner family – Willie (Max Wright), Kate (Anne Schedeen), Lynn (Andrea Elson), Brian (Benji Gregory), and their Melmacian house guest, ALF (who was voiced by series creator Paul Fusco) – lived in the 1986 television series…

  • Dottie’s House from “A League of Their Own”

    Dottie’s House from “A League of Their Own”

    ‘ I am pretty sure Penny Marshall had some sort of direct line of sight into my soul.  The late director was behind several of my most beloved films.  And not just movies I enjoy, but ones I find incredibly poignant, moving and enduring – productions that left a mark on my heart and invariably…

  • The Westlake Village Inn

    The Westlake Village Inn

    ‘ This past weekend, my fiancé and I decided to take a little “staycation” at a hotel named the Westlake Village Inn located about thirty miles away from where we live.  I had read about the hotel while doing some cyberstalking a few weeks beforehand and because it was touted as a frequent filming location…

  • The “Hand That Rocks The Cradle” House

    The “Hand That Rocks The Cradle” House

    ‘ Another location that I stalked while visiting the Pacific Northwest this past May was the gorgeous Victorian-style residence where the Bartel family – Claire (aka Annabella Sciorra), Michael (aka Matt McCoy), Emma (aka an absolutely adorable pre-Californication Madeline Zima), and baby Joey (aka Eric, Jennifer, and Ashley Melander)  – and their nanny, Peyton Flanders…

  • Charlie Rich’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    Charlie Rich’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    ‘ Another location that Jennifer Grant spoke fondly of in Good Stuff, the memoir about her late father, actor Cary Grant, was the Palm Springs estate belonging to Cary’s good friend, Las Vegas Dunes Hotel owner Charlie “Kewpie” Rich.  Many weekends of Jennifer’s childhood were spent at “Uncle Charlie’s” lush, four-acre Coachella Valley oasis, which…

  • Brenda Leigh Johnson’s House from “The Closer”

    Brenda Leigh Johnson’s House from “The Closer”

    ‘ I thought I’”‘”‘d take a little break from writing about my nuptials today as I figure there are more than a few stalkers out there who are not at all interested in reading about wedding planning, even when there is a filming location element tied in to it.  Anyway, a few days ago I was going through some old photographs on my…

    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! ‘
