    The “Why Him?” Gate House

    ‘ Location managers can be such tricksters!  And there’s pretty much nothing I love more than uncovering the various fabrications that go into a particular locale.  Such was the case with the gate house supposedly situated at the entrance to the massive manse belonging to millionaire video game creator Laird Mayhew (James Franco) in Why…

    The Magic Castle

    ‘ Happy Halloween!  I can’t believe the season is already coming to a close!  October 31st is always bittersweet for me because, though my favorite holiday, it marks the end of my Haunted Hollywood postings for the year.  For my last go round of 2018, I thought I’d blog about one of Los Angeles’ most…

  • Vertical Wine Bistro

    Vertical Wine Bistro

    ‘ Even though I am not usually a going-out-on-New-Year’s-Eve type of girl, this year I wanted nothing more than to ring in 2010 with a glass of champagne at my very favorite restaurant, POP Champagne Bar in Pasadena.  But being that I am not now, nor never have been, a night person – I can’t…

  • Whitney Port’s Apartment from “The City”

    Whitney Port’s Apartment from “The City”

    ‘ As fate would have it, last year’s New York vacation ended just a few weeks prior to the series premiere of the MTV Hills spin-off entitled The City.  That, of course, meant that I had to wait almost an entire year to stalk any of the locations featured on the new show.  🙁  And,…

    El Cabrillo from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ Last April, in the midst of my slightly-obsessive L.A. Story location-finding mission, fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, tracked down a couple of the movie’s crew members for me, one of whom was extremely helpful.  After he assisted us in the finding the crash intersection from the flick, I inquired…

    The Historic Mayfair Hotel from “The Office”

    ‘ Fellow stalker John Bengtson, from the SIlent Locations blog, sent me an email last week after reading my post on Red Studios Hollywood from The Artist (a location that I had learned about from his website) informing me that he had tracked down some locales from Season 7’s “The Search” episode of The Office…

    ‘ My Los Angeles magazine postings are back!  For the time being, until a new full-time editor is found to replace my former editor, I will only be contributing to LAmag.com once or twice a month, for The Culture Files section of the website.  Check out my latest post about Robert Kardashian’s former home, which…

  • Gramma-Jess’ House from “Poltergeist II: The Other Side”

    Gramma-Jess’ House from “Poltergeist II: The Other Side”

    ‘ I have never seen Poltergeist, which, considering my love of the ‘80s and all things spooky, is rather shocking.  I tried to remedy the situation this past weekend, but the Grim Cheaper was having none of it, unfortunately.  I did recently stalk a location from the sequel, Poltergeist II: The Other Side, though.  I…

    Stalking the WB!

    ‘ This past Monday, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I took a little stalking field strip to both Warner Brothers Studios and the Paramount Lot. I’”‘”‘ll get to the Paramount tour tomorrow, but today it’”‘”‘s all about the WB. What can I say – the Warner Brothers tour was awesome! It is nothing at all like…

    St. Vincent Court from “The Mentalist”

    ‘ I cannot wait for the Secret L.A.-themed February issue of Los Angeles magazine to hit newsstands!  The City of Angels is chock full of tucked-away gems and I absolutely love discovering them.  The Grim Cheaper and I just stalked one, in fact, that is also a filming location – St. Vincent Court, which appeared…
