    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,…

    Farnsworth Park

    ‘ My favorite movie of all time has got to be Dirty Dancing. I’”‘”‘ve loved the coming-of-age film ever since I was about 13 years old.  Oh, how I wanted to be Baby!  🙂  Growing up, I made my best guy friend practice doing “the lift” with me everytime we were in a swimming pool.  LOL   And, like…

    Counterpoint Records and Books from “A Lot Like Love”

    ‘ I obviously need to start paying closer attention to things because for years I was under the impression that all of the locations from fave movie A Lot Like Love had been tracked down.  But while scanning through the 2005 romcom to make screen captures for my recent post on the home where Oliver’s…

  • Rod’s Grill from “Mad Men”

    Rod’s Grill from “Mad Men”

    ‘ During last year’s Haunted Hollywood postings, I blogged about the Mills View House in Monrovia, which was featured in both the Season 1 Halloween-themed episode of Picket Fences titled “Remembering Rosemary” and the 1986 horror flick House.  Well, as luck would have it, since that time I have been lucky enough to meet Sabin…

  • Descanso Gardens

    Descanso Gardens

    ‘ This past weekend I dragged my fiance and my parents out to stalk Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge – another location that I discovered thanks to my new favorite stalking book.  The 160-acre botanical garden has been featured in countless movies and television shows over the years and is also a popular wedding venue.…

  • Merry Christmas!

    ‘ I would like to wish my fellow stalkers a very merry Christmas.  I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday with family and friends.  I will be taking some time off to celebrate with my loved ones, but will be back in January.  I also apologize for not having a new post up for a…

  • The “Sex and the City” McDonalds

    The “Sex and the City” McDonalds

    ‘ Today’s location is a bit of a fail and a lucky twist all in one.  My mom always says to trust in the universe – and she’s right.  Things happen for a reason.  This locale – easily one of my most-wanted ever – is proof of that.  I am a pretty simple girl when…

  • 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! …

  • Hotel Constance from “Café Society”

    Hotel Constance from “Café Society”

    ‘ It is always such a thrill to discover that a beloved restaurant, building, bar or boutique I wasn’t aware was a filming location has actually appeared onscreen.  Such was the case with Hotel Constance, one of my favorite Pasadena-area lodgings.  You’ve seen me talk about the place before in My Guide to L.A. –…
