    UCLA Lake Arrowhead Conference Center from “The American President”

    ‘ Before heading to Lake Arrowhead, where the Grim Cheaper, my parents, and I spent Thanksgiving weekend this past November, I did some research on filming in the area and just about fell off my chair when I discovered, thanks to the official Lake Arrowhead website, that part of the 1992 romantic comedy The American…

    ‘ Because I encountered so much filming location misinformation while researching my post on Bob’s Big Boy Broiler in Downey last week, I decided that I just had to write a blog about the place’s sister eatery, the now-defunct Johnie’s Coffee Shop Restaurant on Wilshire Boulevard in the Miracle Mile District of Los Angeles, which…

    The Coffee Pot from “90210”

    ‘ As I mentioned back in March in my post about Bar Keeper in Silver Lake, the whimsical little barware store that stood in for Upon Galley in the 2005 movie A Lot Like Love, one locale that I had been absolutely itching to stalk in recent weeks was the Coffee Pot, an Echo Park-area…

    Brenda’s Horseback Riding Center from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk for what seems like forever now is the supposed Minnesota-area equestrian center where a childhood Brenda Walsh (a young actress stood in for my girl Shannen Doherty in this episode, but I, unfortunately, cannot seem to find her name anywhere online) went horseback riding in the…

  • Photos

    ‘ A few of you have been asking why the photos on my site no longer open up to a larger size. And the answer is . . . I have no idea. 🙁 I think it has something to do with WordPress, but at the moment neither my boyfriend nor I can figure out…

    Kabuki Japanese Restaurant from “Clueless”

    ‘ OK so I’m totally buggin’!  I just found out that Paramount Pictures is in talks to reboot Clueless!  This may be way harsh, but all I have to say regarding the news is ‘Whatever!’  The 1995 classic is absolute perfection AS IS and should NOT be touched!  Hearing about the project did remind me…

    City Supper Club from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    ‘ Back in February, I wrote a Scene it Before column for L.A. magazine covering a few locales from He’s Just Not That Into You in honor of the romcom’s 20th anniversary.  While researching, I was thrilled to come across a mention on production designer Gae Buckley’s website that the supposed Baltimore-area City Supper Club,…

    Clark Gable’s Former House

    ‘ Speaking of Clark Gable . . . another location that I stalked recently was the Encino-area ranch where the “King of Hollywood” lived for over two decades.  I first read about this locale, as I did yesterday’s (the Playa del Rey house where Judy Lewis, Gable and Loretta Young’s secret love child, was born),…
