  • Bette Davis’ House from “Feud”

    Bette Davis’ House from “Feud”

    ‘ My favorite Big Little Lies quote belongs to Madeline Martha Mackenzie (Reese Witherspoon), who, in response to Celeste Wright (Nicole Kidman) advising her to let something go, quips, “I love my grudges.  I tend to them like little pets.”  A woman after my own heart, I swear!  Oh yes, I am a definite grudge-holder. …

  • Going on Vacation!

    Going on Vacation!

    ‘ I am currently on vacation in L.A. with my family and will not be publishing any new blog posts for the next week or so.  Our trip is planned to last two weeks, but we are keeping things up in the air depending on how my dad is feeling.  I will definitely be back…

  • Avalon Hotel Palm Springs from “The Hills”

    Avalon Hotel Palm Springs from “The Hills”

    ‘ Sometimes I stalk places unknowingly.  Such was the case with Avalon Hotel Palm Springs, which I visited back in June 2013 when it was known as Viceroy.  I was quite taken with the property’s yellow-hued Old Hollywood Regency-style theme and took a myriad of photographs while there, though I did not plan on blogging…

  • The “Fracture” House

    The “Fracture” House

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while doing some cyberstalking, I came across a fabulous filming locations database named Unreel Locations and I just about died when I saw a listing for what the site referred to as “The Fracture House”.  I immediately recognized the property as the ultra modern abode where Ted Crawford (aka Anthony…

  • The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “Tell-Tale Hearts”

    The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “Tell-Tale Hearts”

    ‘ “Tell-Tale Hearts,” the second episode of Big Little Lies’ second season, boasts some of the series’ most quotable, meme-worthy moments, largely thanks to the inimitable Renata Klein (Laura Dern) – “Will somebody give a woman a moment??”  It also features some of the show’s most memorable locales [the forest where Bonnie Carlson (Zoë Kravitz)…

  • Paco’s Tacos Cantina From Jerry Maguire

    Paco’s Tacos Cantina From Jerry Maguire

    ‘ Last Friday, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I spent an entire twelve hours stalking together!!!  Yes, you read that right – an ENTIRE TWELVE HOURS!!!  I’”‘”‘m not exaggerating!!  The two of us literally drove from one end of L.A. to the other – we covered Pasadena, Redondo Beach, Eagle Rock, El Segundo, and even Santa Monica – and back again!  It was FABULOUS!  🙂 …

  • Andrew’s House from “A to Z”

    Andrew’s House from “A to Z”

    ‘ Networks have recently begun the practice of digitally releasing the pilot episodes of new shows weeks before their scheduled premiere dates.  I think it’s a genius maneuver and have been relishing watching them all.  One that I perused, on the recommendation of fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, was A…

  • The Women’s Exchange from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    The Women’s Exchange from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    ‘ Last year, I had incredible luck getting access to filming locations typically closed to the public.  While visiting New York in April, I was granted tours of three non-accessible places that I literally would have given my eye teeth to see.  Thankfully, none of my friendly tour guides collected on that offer.  (And yes,…

  • Thorne Hall from “The Holiday”

    Thorne Hall from “The Holiday”

    ‘ If I had to pick a favorite movie character it would be Arthur Abbott (Eli Wallach) from The Holiday.  There’s nothing about him that I don’t adore – his kind heart, his wit, his charm, his championing of Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet).  And there’s no scene that makes me cry more than the one…

  • The Sadr City Date Factory from “American Sniper”

    The Sadr City Date Factory from “American Sniper”

    ‘ As I sat down to figure out what to write about for today’s post, I started getting worried that my location backlog was running low.  That worry was quickly amended as soon as I began perusing my inventory of stalking photographs and saw that was not the case at all.  I have so many…
