  • They’re Here!

    They’re Here!

    ‘ A few weeks ago I sent Mike from MovieShotsLA out to do a little Haunted Hollywood stalking for me. I had read online that the house from the original Poltergeist movie (another horror flick I have yet to see!) is located in Simi Valley, and since Mike was in the area, I asked him…

  • Hope and Michael’s House from “thirtysomething”

    Hope and Michael’s House from “thirtysomething”

    ‘ I think Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick are two of the greatest television producers ever to walk the face of the earth.  Oddly though, while I am obsessed with both My So-Called Life and Relativity (as evidenced here and here), I was never a fan of thirtysomething, one of their earliest forays into the…

  • The “Mr. Deeds” House

    The “Mr. Deeds” House

    ‘ One location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, has being dying to stalk for ages now is Winona Ryder’”‘”‘s red-doored childhood home from the 2002 Adam Sandler comedy Mr. Deeds.  Mike had asked for my help in tracking down this location a couple of months ago, but, for some reason, even our two heads working together couldn’”‘”‘t seem to find…

  • Bing Crosby’s Palm Desert House – Where JFK Trysted with Marilyn Monroe

    Bing Crosby’s Palm Desert House – Where JFK Trysted with Marilyn Monroe

    ‘ Last month, shortly before I headed off to Switzerland, my dad loaned me the book Killing Kennedy, which he had just finished reading. Because there was a chapter devoted to my girl Miss Marilyn Monroe, he thought I might enjoy it. And enjoy it, I did. I could hardly put it down! The chapter…

  • The “L.A. Confidential” Christmas Eve Pot Bust House

    The “L.A. Confidential” Christmas Eve Pot Bust House

    ‘ Some might not consider the subject of today’s post a Christmas location.  It’s certainly not from a holiday flick, that’s for sure.  But the scene that was shot there took place on Christmas Eve, so I figured it was fair game.  For those who do not recognize the pad pictured above, it was at…

  • The Poppa’s Popcorn House!

    The Poppa’s Popcorn House!

    ‘ Quite a few months back, I challenged Mike, from MovieShotsLA, to find the house the Ashe family moved into in the Season 2 episode of Beverly Hills, 90210  entitled “Ashes to Ashes”.  In the episode, the African-American family moves in to a home just down the street from the Walshes, causing quite a stir in their…

  • “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” Christmas House

    “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” Christmas House

    ‘ It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas – well, as much as it can in SoCal – which means it’s time to start posting holiday locales!  I’m kicking off the season with the pad that portrayed the Banks family residence in the Season 1 Yuletide-themed episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air titled…

  • The “She’s Out of Control” House – Part 2

    The “She’s Out of Control” House – Part 2

    ‘ One of my favorite parts of writing my blog each day is uncovering the various productions a particular locale has appeared in.  Some spots are so prevalent on the big and small screen that I inevitably miss a role or two, though.  Such was the case with the South Pasadena pad that portrayed the…

  • George Clooney’s Former Digs

    George Clooney’s Former Digs

    ‘ This past weekend, thanks to my new favorite book Movie Star Homes: The Famous to the Forgotten, I was able to stalk George Clooney’”‘”‘s former Studio City house.  Now, to be completely honest, I am not a big fan of George Clooney.  I’”‘”‘ll admit that he’”‘”‘s OK-looking, but for some reason he just doesn’”‘”‘t do it…

  • Claire and Phil’s House from “Modern Family”

    Claire and Phil’s House from “Modern Family”

    ‘ A few weeks back I received an email from a fellow stalker in the Nebraska area who had just recently started his very own filming locations blog entitled .  This stalker’s name was Robert Patterson and I have to admit that when I first saw his email a red flag went up, as I…
