The Trails Café from “The Catch”
‘ Today’s locale required a ridiculous amount of stalking – of myself. A few months back, while scanning through a television show making screen captures for a post, I spotted what I thought was the side of The Trails Café, one of my favorite L.A. eateries. A quick look at Google Street View’s imagery of…

Peg Entwistle’s Former House
‘ Another location that I learned about thanks to the fabulous Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites book, which was penned by fellow stalker E.J. of The Movieland Directory, was the one-time Beachwood Drive home of Peg Entwistle, the tragic blonde actress who only achieved fame after her 1932 suicide, in which she jumped to her…

Charlie’s Apartment Building from “Monster-in-Law”
‘ The third and final Monster-in-Law locale that I set out to find this past weekend was the supposed Venice Beach area apartment building where Charlie Cantilini (aka Jennifer Lopez) lived in the flick.

Michael Jackson’s Thriller Zombie Dance Location
‘ Last week, while cyber-stalking the theatre used in Michael Jackson’”‘”‘s Thriller , I read that the final dance sequence in the video was filmed on a street in Los Angeles named Union Pacific Avenue. So, of course, I immediately called up Mike from MovieShotsLA to let him know. Unfortunately, Union Pacific Avenue is a…

The Dorchester from “Mannequin”
‘ I’ve made no secret of my love for Mannequin over the past few months.
