  • The First Beverly Hills House

    The First Beverly Hills House

    ‘ As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, fellow stalker E.J., from The Movieland Directory website, recently published an e-book about Old Hollywood titled Unscripted: Hollywood Back-Stories, Volume 1 (which you can purchase on Nook here and on Kindle here).  I read the entire tome – which was fascinating, by the way – in…

  • 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…

  • The Wrong-Door Raid Apartments

    The Wrong-Door Raid Apartments

    ‘ One of the most infamous (and humorous) scandals to ever rock Tinseltown involved my girl Miss Marilyn Monroe and her second ex-husband, legendary baseball player Joe DiMaggio.  (Their relationship wasn’t always sunshine and roses.)  Known as the Wrong-Door Raid, it occurred in the late night hours of November 5th, 1954, but did not become…

    Griffith Park’s Pote Field from “Jerry Maguire”

    ‘ Another location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I stalked way back in early June (shortly before we stalked the legendary Perino’s restaurant, which I blogged about yesterday) was Pote Field in Griffith Park, which was featured in the closing scene of one of my favorite romantic comedies of all time – 1996’s Jerry Maguire. …

  • Los Angeles Pet Memorial Park

    Los Angeles Pet Memorial Park

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk ever since first moving to Southern California in 2000 was the Los Angeles Pet Memorial Park in Calabasas.  For whatever reason, though, in over twelve years time, I had never made it out there.  Then, this past September, while gathering addresses for my annual Haunted Hollywood…

    ‘ I would like to extend a very heartfelt thank you today to all who have served this great country of ours, including my grandfather (that’s him above during World War II), my dad, my uncle, my father-in-law, my cousin, my brother-in-law, my grandfather-in-law, and several of my friends.  I hope we all take a…

  • Happy Labor Day!

    Happy Labor Day!

    ‘ I would like to wish a very happy Labor Day to all of my fellow stalkers.  I am taking today off, but will be back on Wednesday with a whole new post.  Sorry to have been a bit MIA lately, but the Grim Cheaper and I have been traveling a lot and I have…

  • The Robinson House from “The Graduate”

    The Robinson House from “The Graduate”

    ‘ A few weeks back fellow stalker Scott, from the Film in America website, asked me if I knew the location of the Robinson house and the Braddock house from the 1967 movie The Graduate.   He told me that he feared the locations of those homes were lost to history being that the movie was filmed over forty years ago…

  • The Federal from “Four Christmases”

    The Federal from “Four Christmases”

    ‘ I tracked down today’s locale thanks to some very insider information.  Back on December 19th, 2012, I wrote about the San Francisco pad that portrayed Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate’s (Reese Witherspoon) residence in Four Christmases.  Just a few hours after hitting “publish,” I received an email from the production designer of the 2008…
