  • Nuart Theatre from “Foul Play”

    Nuart Theatre from “Foul Play”

    ‘ I was hesitant to include today’s locale in with my Haunted Hollywood postings being that the Nuart Theatre is neither haunted nor a horror movie location, per se.  But the small arthouse venue did cameo in one of my favorite thrillers/comedies – 1978’s Foul Play – as the site of a murder, no less,…

    Studio City Stalking

    ‘ This past Saturday must have been my lucky day! While my boyfriend and I were doing a little Studio City stalking, we happened to see Roselyn Sanchez, who plays Elena Delgado on Without A Trace, getting out of her car in front of a newsstand on Laurel Canyon Boulevard. I made my boyfriend swerve…

    ‘ Last December, I blogged about a house in Altadena known as the Balian Mansion, or, as I like to call it, the real Clark W.

    Disney’s Grand Central Air Terminal

    ‘ I am one of the few people lamenting the upcoming opening of Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.  Though renderings certainly look cool (it is Disney, after all!), I fear the massive crowds the new 14-acre land is expected to draw are going to ruin the park.  The Happiest Place on Earth is crowded enough! …

    "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…
