  • The “Four Christmases” Church

    The “Four Christmases” Church

    ‘ Due to the fact that Christmas movies filmed in the L.A. area are few and far between, I typically only compile about five holiday-themed locales to blog about each year.  (If I could swing an entire month of Christmas posts, believe me, I would.)  This year was no different and because there are only…

  • Baltimore’s Washington Monument from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    Baltimore’s Washington Monument from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    The Washington Monument, from Sleepless in Seattle , is located at 699 Washington Place in Baltimore . Several other filming locations can be found in the same vicinity, including the Women’s Exchange , also from Sleepless in Seattle , at 333 North Charles Street ; the George Peabody Library , again from Sleepless, at 17…

  • Another . . . Day . . . Off!

    Another . . . Day . . . Off!

    ‘ Because I spent all day yesterday with fellow stalkers Lavonna, Beth, Melissa, Kim, and Sandy, who were in town from Cincinnati for a little stalking vacay, and Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, I did not have time to write a new post for today.  But I do promise to be back…

  • Nuart Theatre from “Foul Play”

    Nuart Theatre from “Foul Play”

    ‘ I was hesitant to include today’s locale in with my Haunted Hollywood postings being that the Nuart Theatre is neither haunted nor a horror movie location, per se.  But the small arthouse venue did cameo in one of my favorite thrillers/comedies – 1978’s Foul Play – as the site of a murder, no less,…

  • O.J.’s Mansion from “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”

    O.J.’s Mansion from “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are absolutely hooked on the new FX series The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, which is not surprising considering we have both been fascinated with the case since the beginning – as has the rest of the world.  While watching the first episode, titled “From the Ashes…

  • The Bradbury Building

    The Bradbury Building

    ‘ While serving on jury duty a few years back, I had the opportunity to visit one of the most incredible buildings I’”‘”‘ve ever seen in my life.  Since jurors are oftentimes given incredibly long lunches (sometimes lasting over two and a half hours!!), the jury orientation paperwork includes a list of some “Things To Do” in…

  • Happy Labor Day!

    Happy Labor Day!

    ‘ I will be taking today off in honor of Labor Day (not Memorial Day as I originally posted – I always get those two holidays confused :)), but will be back tomorrow with a whole new location. Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • Dan Aykroyd’s Former Haunted House

    Dan Aykroyd’s Former Haunted House

    ‘ Another spooky locale that I learned about thanks to fellow stalker E.J., of The Movieland Directory, and his fabulous book Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites was the longtime home of Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd and his wife, actress Donna Dixon.  The residence piqued my interest due to Aykroyd’s claim of numerous hauntings taking place there…

  • Drew Barrymore’s Wedding Singer House

    Drew Barrymore’s Wedding Singer House

    ‘ This is going to be a short post today as I have had a whirlwind weekend (which I promise to write about tomorrow!)  and had no time to blog.  Anyway, a few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me out to stalk a location from one of my favorite romantic comedies of all time  – the Drew Barrymore/Adam…

  • Marilyn Monroe’s Catalina House

    Marilyn Monroe’s Catalina House

    ‘ The most important item on my Catalina Island stalking list was the home where a very young Marilyn Monroe lived with her first husband James Dougherty during the years 1943 to 1944.  This was long before Miss Monroe became a Hollywood icon and household name, back when she was just a girl who was…
