  • Kent’s House from “Wicked City”

    Kent’s House from “Wicked City”

    ‘ I cannot express how disappointed I am that ABC cancelled Wicked City.  I’ll admit that I was not very impressed with the series’ pilot episode, but I think that was mainly due to the fact that it was rather jarring to see Ed Westwick (one of my absolute faves!) portraying a serial killer.  The…

  • The McDonald Mansion from “Pollyanna”

    The McDonald Mansion from “Pollyanna”

    ‘ I am fully aware that I have a hyperbolic nature.  I use words like “favorite,” “best,” and “most” a LOT.  Caps, too, for that matter.  I wouldn’t say that I am an exaggerator, though.  I just happen to like a lot of things.  Case in point, I have more “all-time favorite” movies than I…

    "Goose, You Big Stud . . . "

    ‘ No self-respecting stalker can take a trip to San Diego without visiting Kansas City Barbecue, which is more commonly known as the “Top Gun Bar”. Kansas City Barbeque was actually featured twice in the 1986 Tom Cruise flick. It first shows up in the scene where Goose and Maverick serenade Kelly McGillis and Meg…

  • Westfield Culver City from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

    Westfield Culver City from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

    ‘ Some filming locations are maddeningly elusive.  One that remained a thorn in my side for ages was the mall where Janey Glenn (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Lynne Stone (Helen Hunt) shopped in Girls Just Want to Have Fun, which, for those who haven’t been paying attention over the years, is one of my all-time…

  • Footsies Bar from “Bad Santa”

    Footsies Bar from “Bad Santa”

    ‘ One location that has been a thorn in my side for as long as I can remember is the gorgeous wood-paneled bar featured in the opening scene of Bad Santa.  Despite having contacted several crew members and spending copious amounts of time searching for it online, I just cannot seem to find the place…

  • The Westlake Village Inn

    The Westlake Village Inn

    ‘ This past weekend, my fiancé and I decided to take a little “staycation” at a hotel named the Westlake Village Inn located about thirty miles away from where we live.  I had read about the hotel while doing some cyberstalking a few weeks beforehand and because it was touted as a frequent filming location…

    The World’s Most Famous Subway Grate

    ‘ The other night in my acting class we were talking about Marilyn Monroe and the movie . One of my classmates asked me if I had ever seen the famous scene of Marilyn standing on top of a subway grate from the movie. I told him that not only had I seen it, I’”‘”‘ve…

  • Casey’s Irish Pub

    Casey’s Irish Pub

    ‘ One location that I have been wanting to stalk for what seems like ages now is Casey’s Irish Pub (aka Casey’s Bar & Grill), a historic Downtown Los Angeles watering hole that has appeared in COUNTLESS movie and television productions throughout its more than thirty year history.  I first found out about the bar…

  • Off Limits Cocktail Lounge from “Rosewood”

    Off Limits Cocktail Lounge from “Rosewood”

    ‘ I’m still in quite a bit of shock – not to mention completely heartbroken – over the recent cancellation of Rosewood.  The cancellation was especially stinging being that there are a couple of locations from the former Fox series that I stalked, but have yet to blog about – namely Off Limits cocktail lounge,…

  • Alverno High School from “Passport to Paris”

    Alverno High School from “Passport to Paris”

    ‘ As I promised in Tuesday’s post, here is a photograph of me dressed as Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Halloween back in 1992.  My mom made the costume for me by hand and she made it absolutely PERFECT, so I was especially excited to tell Kristy Swanson about it when I met her this…
