  • The “How to Marry a Millionaire” Apartment Building

    The “How to Marry a Millionaire” Apartment Building

    ‘ One of the things I love most about L.A. is the direct access the city has to a myriad of unique, once-in-a-lifetime experiences.  Case in point – Essentially Marilyn, The Paley Center for Media’s latest exhibit featuring costumes, personal artifacts, clothing, and memorabilia from none other than Miss Marilyn Monroe herself, including the starlet’s…

  • Noodles’ House from “A Star Is Born”

    Noodles’ House from “A Star Is Born”

    ‘ News outlets are reporting that Lady Gaga can’t seem to let go of her A Star Is Born character.  Well, I am apparently having a hard time letting go of the movie’s locations because here I am yet again with yet another site from the film (you can read my other ASIB posts here,…

  • The Water Street Cafe from “Love Happens”

    The Water Street Cafe from “Love Happens”

    ‘ Just down the street from the former Tabu Boutique, the storefront that masqueraded as Eloise’s Garden in the 2009 movie Love Happens which I blogged about yesterday, is Water Street Cafe, the upscale restaurant where Eloise Chandler (aka Jennifer Aniston) and Burke Ryan (aka Aaron Eckhart) ate dinner during their extremely awkward first date…

  • The CalEdison from “The Morning Show”

    The CalEdison from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ L.A. never ceases to amaze!  Case in point – the CalEdison.  Built in 1931, the Art Deco masterpiece is not only a sight to behold, but its grand lobby is open to the public!  Somehow though, I never knew about the place until last week when I was researching locations from The Morning Show.…

  • NoMo Kitchen from “The Other Woman”

    NoMo Kitchen from “The Other Woman”

    ‘ My favorite movie of 2014 was The Other Woman.  The romcom may have been heavily panned by critics, but I loved everything about it.  The Grim Cheaper and I saw it in theatres shortly after it premiered and then I purchased a copy as soon as it came out on DVD and have proceeded…

  • The Dorchester from “Mannequin”

    The Dorchester from “Mannequin”

    ‘ I’ve made no secret of my love for Mannequin over the past few months.  As I’ve mentioned, my sole reason for heading to Philadelphia this past September was to stalk locales from the 1987 comedy, one of which was The Dorchester, the building where Jonathan Switcher’s (Andrew McCarthy) girlfriend Roxie (Carole Davis) lived.  (You…

  • The Bates Motel

    The Bates Motel

    ‘ Today’s location would be better suited for a Haunted Hollywood post, but because it is set to be torn down by the end of the year, I figured time was of the essence.  While spending the week in L.A. last month with my good buddies Kim and Katie (that’s Katie pictured above), a friend…

  • How I Became Prince of a Town Called Bel Air

    How I Became Prince of a Town Called Bel Air

    ‘ Got a challenge from Byron a couple of weeks ago to find the house from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. According to several Hollywood tour books, including my fave, the location on the left was the home used in the filming of the TV sitcom. However, after watching a few clips of Fresh…

  • Jeff Malene’s House From Girls Just Want To Have Fun

    Jeff Malene’s House From Girls Just Want To Have Fun

    ‘ Got a call from fellow stalker Chas last week, who told me that he had finally received his Girls Just Want To Have Fun  Netflix rental in the mail.  Chas was calling me up to ask if I wanted any other locations from the movie found – besides SJP’”‘”‘s ubiquitous apartment building, of course.  I believe my…

  • “The Vanishing” Apartment Building

    “The Vanishing” Apartment Building

    ‘ Today’s location is an oldie, but goodie.  Waaaaaaaaaaay back in May 2010, the Grim Cheaper and I took a little pre-wedding stalking vacation to the Pacific Northwest to visit our good friends fellow stalker Kerry and her husband, Jim – and to see the grocery store where Michael Buble’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” music…
