  • The Union Theological Seminary Rotunda from “The Ice Storm”

    The Union Theological Seminary Rotunda from “The Ice Storm”

    ‘ Locations have been making impressions on me for ages, long before I even knew stalking was a thing.  Case in point – way back in 1997 while watching The Ice Storm, I became fixated on the ornate stone staircase Libbets Casey (Katie Holmes) walked down in an early scene.  Even though I only saw…

    Dolly Oesterreich’s House

    ‘ It is finally that time again, my fellow stalkers – time for my annual Haunted Hollywood postings!  I, for one, could not be more excited!  Though I should mention here that postings this year will be rather light as I have two trips planned this month (as I mentioned last week, I’ve traveled more…

  • My Favorite Entertainment Finds of 2018

    My Favorite Entertainment Finds of 2018

    ‘ I watch a lot of television and movies throughout the year – as both part of my job and for entertainment.  I am also a voracious reader and listen to a copious amount of podcasts.  2018 brought a slew of new finds.  Some started out as promising, but completely missed the mark [I’m looking…

    Famous Original Ray’s Pizza from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I used to visit New York at least once a year.  Prior to this recent trip, though, we had not been to Manhattan since October 2009!  Being separated from my favorite city for almost seven years was quite a hard pill to swallow.  During that time, I accumulated a ridiculously…

  • Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant from “Black Widow”

    Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant from “Black Widow”

    ‘ Sorry to have been a bit M.I.A. lately – my personal life has been rather hectic.  This week will be a little light on columns, too, as both of my parents have doctor appointments in L.A. that I have to take them, too.  So please bear with me.    And now, on with the…

    Sorry To Do This Again . . .

    ‘ Sorry to do this again, but I have to take another day off.  I have been burning the candle at both ends this week and, unfortunately, have not had much time for blogging.  I do promise to be back tomorrow, though (and this time I really mean it! ) with a whole new location!…

  • The “Spanglish” House

    The “Spanglish” House

    ‘ The Michael J. Fox Theatre in Burnaby, British Columbia, which I blogged about yesterday, was actually the very last Vancouver locale that I had logged away in my location library and, while I have a slew of Seattle area spots that I have yet to write about, I thought that for today I’d mix…

  • Big Brother

    Big Brother

    ‘ Last summer I was COMPLETELY obsessed with the reality show Big Brother 8 – like absolutely on-the-edge-of-my-seat hooked on the show! I loved me some Dick and Danielle! So when I found out that the Big Brother soundstage was located on the CBS Studio Center lot in Studio City and that it could actually…

  • My Guide to Palm Springs – Cocktails

    My Guide to Palm Springs – Cocktails

    ‘ Palm Springs has long been a playground of the show business elite, largely because back in the days of Old Hollywood, the studios required their stars to always be within a two-hour drive from Los Angeles.  The desert – picturesque, secluded and a scant 100 miles from Lalaland – therefore became the obvious go-to…

  • A Visit with My BFF

    A Visit with My BFF

    ‘ My best friend, Robin, who lives in Switzerland, just arrived in California for a surprise, last-minute visit.  I am so BEYOND excited, you don’t even understand!  I will be taking the next two weeks off to spend time with him, but will be back on Monday, March 24th with a new post.  In the…
