    Karyn Kupcinet’s Former Apartment

    ‘ Back in June, while reading Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard’s fabulous book Killing Kennedy, I was reminded of an unsolved death tied to the former president that took place in November 1963 in West Hollywood – the murder of 22-year-old actress Karyn Kupcinet in her Monterey Village apartment on North Sweetzer Avenue. Figuring that…

    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…

    Mr. Miyagi’s House from “The Karate Kid”

    ‘ One of the greatest filming location mysteries to ever exist was that of the house where Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) lived in the 1984 classic The Karate Kid. It was common knowledge that the residence had been demolished in the late ‘80s, but no stalker had ever been able to track down its former…

    Mitch’s House from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ My dad is unfortunately back in the hospital and right now this blog is one of the main things keeping me sane.  Being able to research, track down and write about filming locations, trivial as that may be, sparks major joy for me and has provided a much-needed distraction from all that is going…

    The Daily Dose Café from “Scandal”

    ‘ UPDATE – After closing and then reopening briefly as Café Société in 2018, this spot shuttered for good early last year.  It currently remains vacant.

    ‘ Three weeks ago, fellow stalker Geoff, from the 90210Locations website, emailed me to let me know that he had recently tracked down the house where Frank Ricard (Will Ferrell), aka “Frank the Tank”, and his new wife, Marissa Jones (Perrey Reeves), aka “Mrs. Ari” from Entourage, lived – well, until she kicked him out…

  • The New York Yacht Club from “Hannah and Her Sisters”

    The New York Yacht Club from “Hannah and Her Sisters”

    ‘ While filming locations are, of course, my first love, I am all about discovering unique, off-the-beaten-path, non-Hollywood-related landmarks and hidden gems, as well (as evidenced here, here and here).  So my interest was immediately piqued when, shortly before my 2016 trip to the Big Apple, my friend/fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is…

    The River Oasis Cafe from “Beautiful Girls”

    ‘ Another Stillwater, Minnesota location that my family and I stalked last week was the River Oasis Cafe from fave movie Beautiful Girls.  And I’m really hoping that my fellow stalkers are not yet sick of reading about Beautiful Girls locations, ‘cause there are still quite a few of them that I’ve yet to blog…

    The Darkroom from “The Big Picture”

    ‘ Sometimes I think Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I are one brain living in two different bodies.  Case in point – one of my most beloved movies of all time is the little-known 1989 sleeper The Big Picture, which I saw with my mom shortly after it originally came out almost two-and-a-half decades ago.  In…
