    West Beverly?

    ‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, sent me some screen captures from a Season One episode of the original Beverly Hills, 90210 series entitled “Fame Is Where You Find It.” In the episode Brandon “goes Hollywood” after landing a role on Brenda’”‘”‘s favorite television series Keep It Together. In one scene in the…

  • My Latest Interview

    My Latest Interview

    ‘ This week is going to be rather hectic for me – I am traveling to L.A. for a brief visit, buying a new car and my dad is having surgery – so I most likely will not be able to do any blogging.  I will be back next Monday, though, with a whole new…

  • Anoakia Mansion from “Doppelganger”

    Anoakia Mansion from “Doppelganger”

    ‘ There’s no denying that Doppelganger is a pretty horrible movie.  But part of the fun of the Halloween season is watching ridiculously terrible horror flicks from years past – and stalking their locations, of course.  I had long been on the hunt for the psychiatric institution from the 1993 thriller and was given a…

    The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “The Bad Mother”

  • The Wolves from “The Morning Show”

    The Wolves from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ My obsession with The Morning Show is no secret.  I’ve blogged about its locations four times already (here, here, here, and here) and it isn’t even on its eighth episode!  Readers have obviously taken note because I recently received an email from one who works in downtown Los Angeles informing me that some filming…

  • The Matchstick Men House

    The Matchstick Men House

    ‘ Another location I dragged my fiance to while in Venice last weekend was the house used in the 2003 movie Matchstick Men.  I found this spot thanks to fellow stalker Chas, who made it his mission to find EVERY SINGLE Matchstick Men location in the L.A. area.  And find them all, he did!  Chas’ entire…

  • The Cecil B. DeMille Estate

    The Cecil B. DeMille Estate

    ‘ This past April, the Grim Cheaper’s best friend came to town for a visit and, while he was here, he invited us over for dinner at his parents’ house.  Well, believe you me, because his parents live in the gated Los Feliz celebrity enclave known as Laughlin Park, there was very little arm-twisting involved…

  • Another Day of Cleaning!

    Another Day of Cleaning!

    ‘ Because I spent all day yesterday cleaning (once again – UGH!), I did not have time to write a new column for today.  But I did get to meet actress Emma Roberts earlier this week, so I thought I would post the pic I took with her so that today’s blog would not be…

  • CSI: Pasadena

    CSI: Pasadena

    ‘ My dad is not a big fan of Hollywood. And by Hollywood I mean the industry, not the town. He can’”‘”‘t stand all of the overindulged, self-absorbed actors, even though his own daughter is one (minus the overindulged, self-absorbed part, of course). 🙂 He just barely tolerates my stalking and often asks me why…

  • Montrose Bowl

    Montrose Bowl

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while out stalking the city of Montrose with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, the two of us happened to stumble upon a little bowling alley named Montrose Bowl, which has been featured in countless movie and television productions.  Even though the bowling alley is currently closed to the public – it is…
