  • The Beethoven House

    The Beethoven House

    ‘ Got a challenge from Debbie a few weeks back to find the house used in the 1992 movie Beethoven and its many subsequent sequels.  Debbie had just read my post on the Camden house from the television series 7th Heaven  and was struck by how similar it looked to the home used in the…

  • The Virgil from “A Star Is Born”

    The Virgil from “A Star Is Born”

    ‘ I got a text from my friend Liz the other day saying, “Don’t see A Star Is Born . . . OMG!” followed by a bunch of crying face emojis.  As Liz and most of my fellow stalkers are well aware, I do not like sad or depressing movies – at all.  Liz needn’t…

  • Retail Rodeo from “The Good Girl”

    Retail Rodeo from “The Good Girl”

    ‘ This past Saturday morning, the Grim Cheaper and I headed out to Simi Valley to stalk a location that he was actually excited about for once – the House of the Book building at the Brandeis-Barden Campus of the American Jewish University, which stands in for the Visualize cult’s headquarters on fave show The…

    Eveleigh Restaurant from “Gossip Girl”

  • Trudi’s Apartment Building from “L.A. Story”

    Trudi’s Apartment Building from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ Last month, when I published my post on the location of the iconic talking freeway sign from L.A. Story, a friend named David, whom I met in an acting class years ago, sent me a Facebook message letting me know that the unique, modern-style apartment building where Trudi (Marilu Henner) lived in the flick…

  • The “Why Him?” House

    The “Why Him?” House

    ‘ I don’t like to think of myself as a brat, but I’d be lying if I did not admit to having brat-like tendencies when it comes to choosing what movie to watch with the Grim Cheaper on any given Saturday night.  Typically I veto all of his recommendations straight out of the gate and…

  • Adrianna’s New Rental from “90210”

    Adrianna’s New Rental from “90210”

    ‘ Back in July of 2009, fellow stalker Jennie wrote to me asking for some help in tracking down a location that appeared in both the 1996 Aaron Spelling television series Kindred: The Embraced and the current reality show Celebrity Fit Club.  Because I had never seen either of the shows, though, for this particular…

    Heather’s House from “New Nightmare”

    ‘ Way back in April, after stalking the talking road condition sign location from L.A. Story (which I blogged about here) and Malibu Hindu Temple from Beverly Hills Ninja (which I blogged about here), Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me to the Tarzana-area house where Heather Langenkamp (who played herself) lived with her husband, Chase Porter…

    Jim Henson Studios – Where “We Are The World” Was Recorded

    ‘ One year ago today the world said good-bye to a man who was arguably the greatest music legend who ever lived – the irreplaceable King of Pop, Michael Jackson.  In some ways, it feels as if more than a decade has passed since June 25th of last year when Michael passed way, yet in…

  • Falcon Lair – The Former Estate of Rudolph Valentino

    Falcon Lair – The Former Estate of Rudolph Valentino

    ‘ Way back in December of 2009, I got an email from a fellow stalker named Todd who wanted to know if I had any information on Falcon Lair, the former Rudolph Valentino estate which he had heard was in the process of being torn down.  Amazingly enough, before receiving Todd’s email I had never…
