Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study
1313 Vine St
Los Angeles, CA 90028
http://www.oscars.org/academy/buildings/pickford.html
Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study
Located in the heart of Hollywood, the Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study is a
building rich with Hollywood history.
The Academy's Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study was dedicated in honor of legendary
silent film actress Mary Pickford in 2002. Pickford was one of the founding members of the
Academy.
In addition to the 286-seat Dunn Theater, the building houses several Academy departments,
including the Academy Film Archive, the Science and Technology Council, and the Grants and
Nicholl Fellowship programs.
The building was originally built in 1947–48 as a radio and television studio facility at a cost of
$3 million. It was designed by Claude Beelman (1884–1963) and his associate, Herman
Spackler. Other Beelman buildings include the Hollywood Branch Post Office (1937) and the
Thalberg Administration Building (1938) now on the Sony Pictures lot.
The dedication of the Don Lee-Mutual Broadcasting building was originally scheduled for May
18, 1948, but construction delays turned the event into a press tour of the facilities. The building
73
was dedicated on August 18, 1948. It is the oldest surviving structure in Hollywood that was
originally designed specifically with television in mind.
Cadillac dealer Don Lee got into broadcasting to stay competitive with his friend Earle C.
Anthony, a Packard dealer, who bought radio station KFI as a method of appealing to his
customers. Lee bought KFRC in San Francisco and KHJ in Los Angeles, ultimately building the
chain to 12 West Coast stations. On November 5, 1930, Don Lee station KHJ and Paramount
station KNX broadcast the third annual Academy Awards on Lee's Pacific Coast network.
Lee began dabbling in television in 1930 by hiring Harry Lubcke, a laid-off assistant to Philo
Farnsworth, the inventor of television. Lubcke set up a station on the top floor of Don Lee's
Cadillac headquarters at Seventh and Bixel streets. The station used the call letters W6XAO.
Since TV receivers didn't exist yet, Lubcke designed and provided free schematics to
electronics enthusiasts in the Los Angeles area to build their own. After 100 or so had built
receivers, W6XAO, Channel 1, began to broadcast an hour a day, six days a week.
Though named for him, Lee, who had died 14 years earlier, never saw this building.
The building was the original home of Los Angeles Channel 2, which is now KCBS-TV, through
the 1950s.
In the 1950s, 1313 Vine Street was the home of KHJ-TV and was the studio for Johnny
Carson's earliest mid-'50s television appearances before "The Tonight Show," including
"Carson's Cellar" and "The New Johnny Carson Show."
It was the original home, from 1964 through 1971, of California Community Television, which
grew into PBS station KCET. It was also ABC's headquarters for the Los Angeles 1984
Olympics and the home of many ABC television shows.
Some of the other shows broadcast from 1313 Vine Street over the years were: "Queen for a
Day," "Heart's Desire," "What's the Name of That Song?," "Don Lee Music Hall," "My Friend
Irma," "Jimmy Wakely Show," "Bill Stulla Show," "Oxydol Show," "Your Claim to Fame," "Joey
Bishop Show," "Barney Miller," "Dating Game," and "Newlywed Game."

eventually purchased by Warner Bros in 1925.
ABC Television acquired the studio property in 1949, and opened the world's largest,
state-of-the-art television center.
"The old Vitagraph lot, then ABC, now Disney in East Hollywood, once had a large
backlot, but by the time of television, the backlot was gone. For an early live western tv
show, the side of one of the sound stages was painted to look like a western town or
desert scene or something, and the show was show live from in front of that painted
building." - Jerry S.
"I've been told that all the scenes [in 42nd STREET] inside the theater were shot at
Prospect on [what was known as] the Vitaphone theater stage. That stage later
became Studio E at ABC, (now Stage 5). Eventually, the auditorium end of the stage
was demolished to make way for a new studio now called Stage 4. The Vitaphone stage
was sort of like the Phantom stage at Universal in that a portion of it had a permanent
auditorium set with seats and boxes. It was removed once ABC took over. The old TV
series SPACE PATROL was shot on those combined stages." - Richard P.

founded in 1920 as Columbia Pictures Studios
Built in 1921, this 17-acre Hollywood movie studio was originally the historic Columbia
Pictures Studios.
"In 1948, Columbia establishes a television arm, housed under the revived Screen Gems
banner, which makes it one of the first studios to invest in television."
Spring 1970 - "soundstage # 4 caught fire and some Bewitched sets were damaged
(especially the kitchen). Not wasting any time, the show shot scenes for The Salem
Saga episodes while the kitchen set was repaired and redesigned."
"In 1972, the nearly bankrupt Columbia Pictures sold its Hollywood location at Sunset
and Gower and moved over the hill to Burbank in the San Fernando Valley, where they
shared space on the Warner Brothers lot (renamed for a while as "The Burbank
Studios")."
The studio had no backlot, and instead, the Columbia Ranch in Burbank was used for
exteriors.
Screen Gems' one-camera, filmed productions on closed sets included:
Father Knows Best
Dennis the Menace
The Donna Reed Show
Hazel
Gidget
Bewitched
I Dream of Jeannie

the Ranch started in 1934, as a 40 acre plot purchased by Harry Cohn, head of
Columbia Pictures Corporation.
"Over the years, Columbia Pictures sold off much of its 80-acre Burbank ranch to
developers. Columbia's ranch had acted as the studio's backlot since 1935, with its
scenery of grassy park and fountain, Old West street (destroyed by fire in 1970), and
facades of city buildings, townhouses and suburban homes (including the Bewitched
house)."
a 1957 aerial photo "shows the single soundstage Columbia built at the ranch. Later, in
the late 1950s, a second stage was built right next to it. Also, you can make out
Columbia's special effects water tank with its sky backing almost dead center. Up to
right where there's a semi-circular backing was the spot the lamasery set was built for
Frank Capra's LOST HORIZON. Today that portion of the lot has a large drugstore and a
parking lot. Many year ago Columbia sold off a portion of the lot to a developer." Richard P.
"The real street used in the Blondie movies was right near CBS Studios. I took some
photos when I was there last year. One of the houses was later recreated at the
Columbia/Warner ranch...which later became the I Dream of Jeannie house." - Anthony
"The (new) "re-created" Blondie house at the Columbia Ranch from the early 1940s
was indeed used for the exterior on Jeannie, as well as Mr.Wilson's house on Dennis,
and the Anderson house on Father Knows Best, during the 1950s/60s. It's still standing,
has most likely been used for numerous other TV shows and movies, as well as
commercials throughout the decades." - Mark J. C.
"[In Bewitched,] I seem to remember the Kravitzes front house exterior being the house
that would later become (or by 1970/71 was already) the Partridges' house [but in the
episode "Mary the Good Fairy,"] there's a closeup of Gladys Kravitz gasping as she sees
the police picking up Mary. and Mrs. Kravitz is [standing instead on the front porch of]
the Donna [Reed] house (and also Dennis Mitchell's house)." - Mark J. C.
"I think they used a different exterior for the Kravitz house in that two-parter as the
former house suffered some damage in a backlot fire." - Anthony
in 1970, three successive fires (in January, April and August) destroyed half the lot
in mid-1971, became a combined Columbia and Warner ranch
1990 - Columbia left, and ranch became The Warner Ranch
"all of the houses on the Warner Ranch are now complete structures. I don't think there
are any "facades" left. Some of the "facades" have been enclosed within the past
decade to protect the sets from water damage." - William F., Jr.

began in 1915 as Metro Pictures back lot #3
studios constructed (as Equity Studios) in 1946...built primarily as a rental lot leasing
space to independent producers
renamed Motion Picture Center Studios in January, 1947
1953 - leased by Desilu Studios
1956 - renamed to Desilu-Cahuenga Studios
1967 - sold to Gulf & Western (Paramount)
1969 - sold to Cinema General Studios
1974 - Television Center Studios
"At one point, it was used as Lambert's Van & Storage, with only three of the nine
sound stages occupied by a production company, Television Center Studios."
1984 - Ren-Mar Studios
2010 - Red Studios
there was no backlot, but some houses across the street on Lillian Way were used for
occasional exterior filming (including as "Thelma Lou's" house on The Andy Griffith
Show)
"Old Desilu production schedule reports reveal that The Andy Griffith Show reserved
Desilu-Cahuenga's Stage 1 and 2 for Thursday through Wednesday shoots (with
weekends off) for each of the 249 episodes they produced."
"It seems that Desilu-Cahuenga has always been a tough lot to "visit". I, too, had a
similar opportunity in the late 60's and took advantage of an open gate on the north
end of the lot. A large flatbed truck had just entered the lot and no one was standing
by to close and lock the gate. I took advantage of the situation and walked in, making a
quick left at the first studio door. I believe this was the old I Love Lucy stage but I'm not
positive. Inside, they were shooting some interiors of Gomer Pyle USMC. Jim Nabors
was sitting in one of those typical high chairs off to the side of where they were
shooting some close-ups of Frank Sutton sitting behind his desk. The script girl was
feedsing him the lines. When they stopped to re-set and load I started up a
conversation with Jim Nabors....what a nice guy. Very pleasent and asked no questions
about who I was. I guess he figured that if was in there it must be okay! After about 15
or 20 minutes of watching the action I went back out onto the lot and went to the next
studio which was under the same roof as the Gomer studio. I recognized the set as that
being from That Girl. No one was there so I just looked around taking it all in. After that
I went to another stage at the other end and there was the set for a show that only ran
for a season or two called Good Morning World, about two L.A. disc jockeys that did a
morning wake-up radio show. Desilu was a very secure facility and I felt real lucky to
have the chance to see it from the inside. Getting out was easy. I just walked out
through the front gate. The guards wished me a good afternoon!" - Mark B.
productions ceased on this lot for several years in the 1970's, during which time some
soundstages were used for furniture storage, and at least one was used as a tennis
court. In 1981's "The Andy Griffith Show Book," Andy Griffith recalled a visit to the lot
during this time period:
"I was going to tell you a sad thing. Over on the corner of Cahuenga, near Melrose,
there was a small studio. It's no longer a studio anymore. Part of it is indoor tennis
courts and part of it is a huge warehouse for furniture that these big trucks haul to
91
various points. I was over that way a year or two ago, and I just decided I would stop
and see what was going on. So I went and looked onstage - stages one and two - that's
where we spent 8 years - and they were storing furniture there. This whole studio, I
understand, was built during the war, with inferior equipment. They were constantly
digging up pipes for leaks. The roofs leaked. Don [Knotts] and I used to do scenes when
it rained, and it would often rain in between us. Anyway, there were nine stages on
that little lot, and for ten or fifteen years almost all of the comedy that came out of this
town came out of that little studio. About 1970 a lot of shows went off the air or were
cancelled. I had an aborted show that year [Headmaster] and we moved to Warner
Brothers. Mayberry moved to Warner Brothers too. But when we moved and so many
shows were cancelled, that little lot died, that tiny little lot died." - Andy Griffith

established by Ince in 1919
1928 - studios and backlot acquired by RKO Pictures
1937 - acquired by David Selznick on long-term lease
1948 - bought by Howard Hughes
1958 - bought by Desilu Productions
adjacent "40 Acres" backlot used heavily for TV exteriors
"Originally, there were glass stages back when it was the Ince Studio. All but the first
one were knocked down. Then right behind the remaining glass stage, a large enclosed
stage building containing stages 2,3 & 4 was built. Stage 2 had a higher roof. Still does.
Stage 2 opens into stage 3. So when stages 2 & 3 are combined, it makes a stage
approximately 32,532 sq. feet. Back when RKO owned the lot, the largest stage was
stage 15. It was over 33,000 sq.feet The stage could be flooded. When Desilu bought
the RKO Pathe lot, they divided 15 into two stages." - Richard P.
"On December 12, 1964, producer Gene Roddenberry filmed his first "Star Trek" pilot
"The Cage" at Stages 14, 15, and 16 at Desilu in Culver City. They went over and it took
12 days to shoot it, just a few days outside the normal range for filming a 50 minute
pilot film. The following year in 1965, the network that he was trying to sell it to for a
television series, NBC Television, rejected the pilot. A second pilot script was written,
along with two others "Mudd's Women" and "The Omega Glory", but Roddenberry
went with "Where No Man Has Gone Before" to film as the second pilot with filming
starting on Monday, July 19th, 1965. The pilot shoot would wrap 8 days later on July
27th, 1965. Filming was once again at Desilu at Culver on Stages 15 and 16 and by
spring of 1966, the pilot sold to NBC." - Daniel R.
"I read somewhere that the second pilot for STAR TREK was shot on stage 15 at DesiluCulver. It seems there was a nest of hornets up in the rafters that the production
disturbed. Several people were stung including Shatner." - Richard P.
"Just about all the original sound stages at RKO Pathe had internal sound-proofed
doors that opened up so two, even three stages could become one. Stages 2,3 & 4 were
all interconnected. Stage 2 had a higher roof for filming scenes simulated inside a
theater. Stage 2 was the theater stage while stage 3 had the auditorium seats.
Paramount had the same setup with stages 6 & 7. MGM had the biggest theater stage
which was combined 5 & 6. Stage 6 had a clearance of 80 feet making it the highest
stage of all the major studios. At the old Vitagraph Studio in East Hollywood (later
home to KABC TV), there was the Vitaphone Stage used for the WB film 42nd STREET. It
was first used for THE JAZZ SINGER. Part of it, the higher section, still exists." - Richard
P.
The stage used for at least one of the Star Trek pilots: "The DeMille stage was built at
the end off 1926 for the film, King of Kings (1927). It was later soundproofed by Pathe
after DeMille left the lot in 1929. So people still referred to it as a 'silent era'
stage...[The stage] still exists and is the largest one on the lot." - Marc W.
"William Shatner described the Culver stages as being in extremely poor condition. He
also talked about the sets being very limited in how they could be filmed as they were
built for specific shots instead of the walls being able to be moved around easily. When
they [Star Trek] were moved to Gower parts of them were rebuilt to be easier to use." William F., Jr.

established by Robertson Cole in 1921 (later reorganized as Film Booking Offices of
America - FBO)
RKO Pictures formed in Oct. 1928
RKO Studios was once located along Gower St. in what is today the western 1/4 of the
Paramount lot (you can still see the giant RKO globe at the corner of Melrose & Gower
today).
R-K-O Studios was at one time located along Gower Street in Hollywood, adjacent to
Paramount Studios. Desilu founders, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz acquired the lot in
1957 and sold it ten years later to Paramount. With that merger, the former R-K-O
main entrance became a side entrance for Paramount.
"On the RKO Gower lot, stages 7.8,9 & 10 were all interconnecting. They could open
them up so they had a soundstage that was nearly 500' long by 145' wide. Stages 9 &
10 were used for filming the Venice canal scenes in TOP HAT. And stages 11,12 & 14
could be interconnected. Today they're stages 19, 20 &21 on what is now the
Paramount lot." - Richard P.
"Lucy park" courtyard used by many Paramount TV shows of the later 1960s and
throughout the 1970s.
"stages 1, 2, & 3 were built as silent stages when the lot was F.B.O. When RKO started
up they added stages 4 though 10. And then later on came stages 11, 12, & 14 which
were all along Melrose Ave. Stages 1 & 2 had internal divisions so there was a stage 1A
and 2A. The latter became the RKO scoring stage." - Richard P.
Star Trek filmed on stages RKO/Desilu stages 9 and 10, which are today numbered as
Paramount stages 31 and 32 respectively. For Star Trek, stage 9 housed the permanent
interior sets of the U.S.S. Enterprise, and stage 10 was used for temporary sets,
including planet "exteriors."
"Our Paramount Guide was pretty knowledgeable about stuff, except he totally missed
the RKO sewer covers, which I had heard of and pointed out to him. All the people in
the tour rushed over to look!" - Larry W.
"One of my favorite memories at Desilu-Gower was watching them film "The
Untouchables" on a watered-down soundstage street, meant to recapture old Chicago,
while G-men and mobsters, in old 1930s cars with tires squealing and Tommy guns
blazing, shot it out with each other around false storefronts, stoops, and fake
alleyways." - from "EXTRA!! EXTRA!! I WAS A HOLLYWOOD NEWSBOY" - By Robert
Leslie Dean
"One of its [Desilu-Gower's] valuable production features is its well-known "New York
Street" located on Stages 9 and 10, which can be used at all times regardless of
weather." - from a Desilu Annual Production report, 1960-61, courtesy Jake S.

NO BACKLOT..."but Perry (and the various Filmways shows) would frequently film
exterior scenes around administrative buildings and the parking lot as well as the
gated/guarded entrance to the facility. Sometimes you even see the 1040 numbers for
the street address of 1040 N.Las Palmas, on the admin buildings at the front
gated/guarded entrance! OR on at least Perry, close-ups of auto registrations or
drivers' licenses of characters in episodes during the "General Service" seasons will

"Jed Clampett's "Mammoth Pictures" entrance was a stock footage of the main
entrance to General Service Studios!" - Mark J. C.
"General Service Studios was important to Desilu because by the 2nd season of I Love
Lucy they had rented the entire facility. But because of it's small size, they moved to
Motion Picture Center. Not sure how long they rented GSS for or if they still had a
presence after I Love Lucy and Our Miss Brooks moved." - William F., Jr.

a home to independent filmed television production in the early years of
television, including productions by by Hal Roach, Jr. and Roland Reed
near the railroad tracks at National Blvd.
Most of the Laurel & Hardy movies, the Our Gang shorts, and many Harold
Lloyd comedies were made at the studio
"known as Fort Roach during WWII" (William F., Jr.)
The 14.5 acre studio once known as "The Lot of Fun," containing 55 buildings,
was torn down in 1963
""Amos 'N Andy" shot 75 episodes over two seasons before CBS pulled the plug
caused by pressure from the NAACP. By the way, CBS has the negs and will
never allow it to be officially released so everything that comes out on DVD is
from questionable film sources. Bill Cosby tried to talk the network into properly
rereleasing it, but got nowhere.
In 1952, "My Little Margie" filmed 14 episodes. That series lasted from 1952 to
1955. Gail Storm followed it starring in "The Gale Storm Show" (AKA "Oh
Susanna!") which was also filmed at Roach and lasted five seasons.
For its second season, "The Abbott & Costello Show" left Roach, moving to
Motion Picture Center.
Six sound stages would support six series if those series weren't two
complicated. And remember that stage 4 at Roach was also used for scoring. It
had a projection booth plus a sound monitor booth and a screen up on the wall.
Years ago I met someone who had photos taken all over the lot, inside and out. I
lost track of him. I'd love to see them today." - Richard P.

"I was there one day when they filmed THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN in 1955. I got
a tour of the lot by Jack Larson. He showed me where Charlie Chaplin had placed his
footprints and his cane in cement. I seem to remember not much of a backlot. There
might have been a small street set left over from when Chaplin owned the lot. 1955
was a long time ago so it's hard to remember exactly what was on the lot. I believe
Chaplin's former home was still there which was up near Sunset Blvd. The lot had three
sound stages. The big one which today is called The Chaplin Stage. Behind it was Stage
2 which was later converted into a scoring stage used by Todd-AO for AROUND THE
WORLD IN 80 DAYS. Stage 3 was a small stage and that's where they were filming the
day I was on the lot. It was the episode where Superman is frozen and has to walk into
a blast furnace to thaw out." - Richard P.

built in 1919, home to Warner Brothers Pictures
"Colonial mansion, built by the Warner Brothers in 1919, was later used for years as a
bowling alley" - L.A. Times
"The KTLA studio, when it was still WB's, had a backlot. But by the time of television
production, the backlot was gone. My friend Steve Lodge and a buddy of his had to
stage a western fight on the stairs and second floor of one of the regular buildings for a
pilot to a western being shot at that location." - Jerry S.
"[Warner Brothers] continued to maintain it [the Hollywood lot] as a working studio
[even after they took over First National Studios in Burbank]. In fact, when the Burbank
lot suffered a bad fire in back in 1934, Jack Warner assured everyone they would still
meet their production goal since they still had the Hollywood studio. In 1937, Warner
Brothers leased the long building that fronts Sunset to a bowling alley concession. They
turned the sound stages into the world's largest bowling alley called Hollywood Lanes.
As a kid I went there with my dad." - Richard P.
"By the 1950s, the Hollywood lot was pretty much abandoned so in 1954, Warner
Brother sold their original Hollywood lot to Paramount. KTLA was actually not on the
Paramount lot, but across the street from the studio at 5451 Marathon Street." Richard P.
"Gunsmoke exterior street was built using two stages linked together at the original
Warner Bros. studios on Sunset near gower, now the KTLA studio. [That is why] the
look of the show is so artificial, as it was not shot outdoors much at all." - Randall R.
"KTLA was started by Paramount as W6XYZ. It first began broadcasting experimentally
in 1941. W6XYZ became KTLA in 1947. At that time it began to schedule regular
programs." - Richard P.
"In 1964 Paramount sold KTLA along with the Sunset Studio to cowboy star Gene Autry.
In 1985, KTLA along with the Sunset facility was purchased by Tribune Broadcasting, a
division of the Tribune newspaper empire. In 2008 Tribune sold the physical studio to
Hudson Capital, LLC, but retained ownership of KTLA. KTLA is still housed there. But
today they merely lease space. The studio is now called Sunset Bronson and is owned
by the same investment group that owns Sunset Gower Studios, the former home of
Columbia Pictures." - Richard P.

founded in 1915 by Thomas H. Ince as Triangle Studios...sold to Samuel Goldwyn in
1918
in mid-1920's, MGM became largest studio in Hollywood...held this position for over
thirty years
renamed Sony Pictures Entertainment in 1991
backlots 2 and 3 (at least) razed in late 1970's - now houses and condos
Lot #1 is now Sony Pictures - a "Main Street" set of facades covering offices is the only
semblance of a back lot that still exists
Lot #2 was located across Overland Ave. from the main lot
Lot #3 was at the corner of Jefferson & Overland in Culver City
"Lot 1 encompassed seventy-two acres, housed all the thirty soundstages, office
buildings, and dressing rooms, the seven warehouses crammed with furniture, props,
and draperies. Lot 2 consisted of thirty-seven acres of permanent exterior sets,
including the town of Carvel, home of the Hardy family, and the great Victorian street
from Meet Me in St. Louis. Here was the house where David Copperfield lived, there the
street where Marie Antoinette rolled to the guillotine. Lots 3, 4, and 5 were used for
outdoor settings - the jungle and rivers that provided the backdrop for Tarzan, much of
Trader Horn, the zoo that provided the animals, including the lion that heralded each
and every Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film. Connecting everything was thirteen miles of
paved road." - Scott Eyman, in "Lion of Hollywood"
correction: "The 'Meet Me in St. Louis' street at M-G-M was on Lot 3, not Lot 2." Steven B.
"Lot 4 and 5 were not used for filming, per se, as they housed the zoo and other things.
Like lots 2 and 3, they are all gone. Lot 1 for many years, at least into the 1930's, had a
backlot on the western end." - Jerry S.
"The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Book: The Behind-the-Scenes Story of a Television Classic,
describes how U.N.C.L.E. producer Sam Rolfe had problems sharing the MGM backlot
with Combat! They would arrange for a location, then show up to find that Combat!
had been there the preceding week and blown up all the streets. U.N.C.L.E. crews
would repair the sets for non-wartime filming, then Combat! would destroy them

Paramount Pictures origins date to 1912
"Originally located on the south side of Melrose Avenue, Peralta Studios moved across
the street on Marathon in 1917, later becoming Brunton Studios, then United Studios
before Paramount-Famous-Lasky took over in 1926." - L.A. Times
last major film studio still headquartered in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles
"The first silent stage built on what is today the Paramount lot is Stage 1. Then came
Stage 2. Stage 3 was converted into wardrobe. So when they later built the small 'test'
stage they named it Stage 3. Then came Stage 4 and what is today Stage 17. I guess
when it was Brunton is was called Stage 5. All the silent stages were to the right. I
believe the next silent stages constructed were 8 and 9. Stage 10 and the adjacent
stage that became the scoring stage were built as silent stages. The first built-fromthe-ground-up sound stages were 11, 12, 13 & 14. Then came 15 which was a tin stage
built over 'A' tank. It was later soundproofed. Stages 16 and 18 were the last two sound
stages built on the lot." - Richard P.
"Stage 7 was built around 1929. It was built as their 'theater' stage where part of it
was much higher to handle the various curtains and scenery that could be lifted up just
like in a real theater. MGM had a similar stage as did UA (Goldwyn) in Hollywood.
Warner Brothers had one on the Prospect lot. They called it the Vitaphone theater
stage." - Richard P.
regarding the famous "Bronson Gate," Paramount's original main entrance : "Ah yes,
the scene [in "Sunset Boulevard"] where the guard challenges "Max" when he wants to
drive Miss Desmond onto the lot to see Mr. DeMille, who is shooting on stage 18....
that would be the Bronson Avenue gate...I love that scene. "Jones, remind your friend
that without me ther would be no Paramount Studios." Ah, the golden days....." Daniel R.
"A lot of changes were made to stage 18 after they filmed SUNSET BLVD. on it. At one
point they uncovered the basement so that they could attain greater height for filming
the huge courtyard set in REAR WINDOW. The stage door we see DeMille come out of
is no longer at that spot. It was moved when Paramount added a freight elevator
outside the stage." - Richard P.
"Paramount had five stages that interconnected. They were 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. The
first three made up the fist purposeful built sound stages on the lot. In fact, right after
construction was finished they burned to the ground. Paramount quickly rebuilt them.
All four stages had sound monitor booths on a second story where the sound mixer
could look down onto the stage. Later, stages 12 and 14 were combined. After Stage 15
was built over what had been 'A' tank on the lot, Paramount installed doors that could
be opened so all four stages made up a single huge stage. DeMille filmed some of the
largest sets for THE TEN COMMANDMENTS on those combined stages. SAMSON and
DELILAH used 14 and 15 combined for the huge temple set. And ELEPHANT WALK was
filmed on combined 14 and 15." - Richard P.
"Bonanza worked many scenes [on mock exterior sets] at Paramount, where the
Ponderosa stood proud on a rather narrow stage." - Randall R.
"The Paramount [backlot exterior] western street was constructed long before
119



BONANZA. I believe original sections of it first went up for the Alan Ladd western,
WHISPERING SMITH in 1948. It was added onto over the years. The western street was
used for GUNFIGHT AT THE OK CORRAL (1957) as well as LAST TRAIN FROM GUN HILL
(1959). For that feature, Paramount installed about a quarter mile of train track so
they could film a Baldwin steam engine No. 22 pulling several vintage coaches through
the western street...The Paramount western street was used for ONE EYED JACKS
(released in 1961 - filmed starting in 1959). In fact, for that film, the sky drop for 'B'
Tank was used to extend the horizon.... In 1979, the entire western street sets were
demolished to make way for a large studio parking lot." - Richard P.
regarding the above-mentioned locomotive: "Paramount owned the engine and cars.
They purchased No. 22 back in 1937. Paramount also owned No. 18, another Virginia &
Truckee steam locomotive. Both engines were sold to the State of Nevada in 1974." Richard P.
"The mountain [backdrop] was over on the west end right up next to what had been
RKO and later Desilu. It was not by the tank. In some photos taken I see building
constructed over the tank, but in others, the tank is open such as it was in the Above
Los Angeles aerial taken in 1976. In 1980 after the western street was removed, the
tank was in use." - Richard P.
"'B' Tank went up back in the 1940s...It's called 'B' tank because 'A' tank was where
stage 15 stands. Originally 'A' tank was an open outdoor tank. Then it was covered
over with a huge tin shed structure that was not soundproofed. Soon after, the stage
was soundproofed. It connects with adjacent stage 14 which was originally two stages,
the first of four originally built for sound on the lot. Later on, the wall seperating the
two stages was torn down. Right after stages 11, 12, 13 and 14 were finished, they
burned to the ground forcing Paramount to film their first sound movie at night on
their silent stages as well as in the cramped silent 'test stage' which was once used by
Roy Pomeroy to split the Red Sea for DeMille's original silent version of THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS. When 'B' tank isn't being used, Paramount uses it as a parking lot."
- Richard P.
"[In THE TEN COMMANDMENTS], The parting of the Red Sea was accomplished by
filming water in 'B' tank using a special dump systems. The footage was combined
optically with shots of actors walking through the empty sea floor. Those shots could
have been filmed inside combined 14 and 15. Not sure." - Richard P.
"New York street was built very early on possibly when the studio was the Brunton
Studio. Early photos I've seen of the lot show a lot of exteriors sets. Over the years,
buildings went up around where the New York street was located. Then in 1983 a huge
fire completely destroyed it. The current New York Street built in the exact same area is
a state-of-the-art exterior set." - Richard P.
lot grew over years and eventually absorbed old RKO Hollywood lot (see Desilu-Gower)
"The small European village [used in Star Trek and Hogan's Heroes] was right behind
the Nickodell Restaurant and catty-cornered to the KHJ broadcast building on Melrose.
The restaurant was leveled to make way for more parking on the Paramount lot. Also
removed [in 1979] were the European village and the western street used in
BONANZA." - Richard P.
"At Paramount, according to their website, stages 4, 8, 16 and 24 have pits. Stage 24
used to be Stage 2 when it was Desilu and before that RKO. [Stage 3] was used for
audience sitcoms. Still is." - Richard P.
"Here's Lucy was shot on stage 25 (Lucy's dressing room was/is attached). This is the
same stage where The Lucy Show, Cheers, Bosom Buddies, and Frasier were shot.
Here's Lucy only shot their first 2 seasons at Paramount. They then moved to Universal.
It became too difficult for Lucy to continue shooting at her old studio." - William F., Jr.

Today: "There is such a mix of old and new - the 'public' area by the company store /
snackbar is a nice area to relax and unwind, then you have the original writer's
buildings still there inside the Bronson Gate (both, of course, seen in Sunset Blvd)- then
there is the famous gate itself. They have bought the land in front of it, closed off the
street immediately in front of the gate and made a lovely courtyard with trees and a
fountain. Then into the future with a new and state of the art 'screening room'
theatre." - Larry W.
"RKO/Desilu was the entire western 1/4 of the lot. The lot was originally 2 studios, with
a massive backlot between them. Eventually Paramount replaced the backlot with
stages and office buildings. The oldest part of the former Desilu lot is the buildings at
Lucy Park. It originally had arches but they were demolished due to structural
problems. Too bad they did not rebuild them since they are what made the building
stand out in the TV shows that shot there." - William F., Jr.
"Paramount never built stages on what was the RKO and later Desilu lot. All they did
was knock down the wall that separated Paramount from what had been Desilu. All the
sound stages on the Gower Street side were built by RKO. The very last stages to be
constructed went up sometime in the late 1930s. They are the stages that run along
Melrose Ave. The corner stage on Melrose and Gower used to have an antenna
mounted above the globe on the roof. Those stages were built as 11, 12 & 14. They're
renumbered as 19, 20 & 21. Paramount hasn't built a soundstage since Stage 18 went
up which was eons ago. They did lose Stage 10 when the Bing Crosby Building was
demolished a couple of years ago. Also gone was the scoring stage. Today, a huge
Technicolor post production center sit there." - Richard P.

"The opening famous gun battle of Gunsmoke was shot on the western street on the
back lot of the CBS Radford Studio in Studio City. This street set remained until the later
90's just inside the truck gate off Cole Ave. Also using the stages at CBS Radford was
The Wild Wild West." -Randall R.
"Gilligan's Island was shot in the river basin at the studio that runs along behind the
studio. Years later they built a home for a famous reality TV show at this spot. Had a
big fence around it to keep every one out as they lived locked up in there during the
series. But writers used to love to walk by and throw wadded up paper with notes full
of story ideas into the yard." - Randall R.
"Today, the old western street is a parking lot and sound stages. They have named
streets after the various shows, including Gunsmoke. [In 1997] they tore out the old
lagoon from Gilligan's Island, which Gunsmoke also used." - Randall R.
prior to its removal, the lagoon was used as a parking lot when it was empty.

"industry also called it "The Formosa Studios", since its entrance is on Formosa
Ave., w/ Santa Monica Blvd. bordering its north." - Javier M.
now called "The Lot"
"The backlot of the Goldwyn Studio was used in early tv production because it
was prominently featured in The Roy Rogers Show with its western street." Jerry S.
"Making its debut in [The Fugitive's second season episode "When The Bough
Breaks"] was the new Goldwyn backlot street...FUGITIVE Art Director Serge
Krizman had layed out the 31 building fronts as a project for the studio facility,
not specifically for the series. But THE FUGITIVE was the 1st to capitalize on
its availability. The street was constructed during the Spring and early Summer
of 1964 and saw action in this episode in the first week of August...As backlot
shooting fell out of favor, the streets which were located here were torn down.
They survived into the 80's." - Chris S.
"Samuel Goldwyn suffered a number of fires that destroyed a number of it's
stages. Some were never rebuilt and the land they sat on was eventually sold
(like the backlot property)" - William F., Jr.
"The first of the two worst fires at Goldwyn occurred right before filming of
PORGY AND BESS was to commence. It burned down enormous Stage 8, then
the largest stage on the lot. Goldwyn built two smaller stages on that site. The
second fire took out all the stages behind the offices that front Santa Monica
Blvd. This occurred in May of 1974. The fire started on stage 5 where the TV
series SIGMUND AND THE SEA MONSTER was being taped. It quickly spread
to adjoining stages. Destroyed were stages 1 through 5. Later, four new stages
were built. The only original stages left on that lot from the 'golden days' are 6
and 7. Many years ago Stage 6 was subdivided, turning its interior into dubbing,
ADR and Foley stages. Stage 7, the former Goldwyn scoring stage where GONE
WITH THE WIND was scored is now a shooting stage. It was dismantled as a
scoring stage shortly after the fire took out five stages in 1974. Stages 5 & 6
were once stages 8 & 9, built right after stage 8 burned to the ground. They
went up around late 1959. [Steve McQueen] was on the lot in 1974 when the
stages caught fire and helped fireman put it out. He had been training with them
for his role as a fireman in THE TOWERING INFERNO." - Richard P.

"Most of the studio's back lot was sold off in 1961 to Alcoa when Century City was
developed, and some of the studio's facilities have been relocated elsewhere to make
room for the shopping center. But a good part of the old Fox studios have survived and
still remain busy making movies and TV dramas"
"The Fox lot was also used extensively during production of "Starsky & Hutch" from
1975-79. They used many of the "Hello Dolly" NY sets as well as the area on the north
side of Olympic which is now no longer part of Fox. It was interesting to see the New
York sets with the Century City skyscrapers in the background." - Robbie C.
"The screening room was right behind Commissioner Gordon's office from the TV
version of BATMAN. Remember how the Batmobile would park right in front of the
building and Batman and Robin would bound up the stairs? On the other side of the
facade was probably the producers watching the Julie Newmar in her cat suit from the
day before." - Batfan site

"western street was on the main lot just north of Pico on the west side of the lot, but
not exactly where all the satellite dishes are now located. The road is still in the same
place. Some of the buildings on the west side are where the dishes are, but most were
north of it. On the other side is where the big crafts building is now located. I worked
on that lot from 1982 until I retired in 2003. Back when it was still a western street, I
used it when I left to go home. One night while driving down that very street I
accidentally ran over a black cat killing it! It had suddenly darted out from one of the
building facades." - Richard P.

"[The Waltons] was shot at Warner Bros. The house was torn down about 8 years ago
to make way for a new parking structure behind the old Warner Records building. I
haven't seen the first season episodes, but at the time there was a small train station
set that bordered the spanish town square and the converted Camelot set(then being
used for Kung Fu). The two western towns are gone now, one having burned down in
the 90's I believe and the other (used in Hearts of the West , F Troop and the last
Maverick TV series in the 80's) torn down to make room for "Warner Village", a group
of offices made to look like a residential street." - Dave
"WB's Laramie Street was built in 1957. I keep reading that the set was never used or
was used only 10 days in the last decade of its life, but this simply isn't true. In addition
to the already mentioned "Purgatory" It worked every day for an entire year on the
"Brisco County" TV series, extensively in the feature film "Wild Bill" and in a more
limited way in both "Wild Wild West" and "Maverick," as well as numerous
commercials, music videos, documentaries, photo shoots and special events. But studio
real estate being as valuable as it is, the studio did reluctantly bulldoze the set on May
16, 2003." - Steve
"Maverick had it's main street set fully dressed on the sound stages on the Warner Bros
Burbank lot." - Randall R.
"The original "Walton" house, which was a standing set even before the series, burned
down shortly after the original show completed production. It was rebuilt in 1992 for a
reunion movie and was used about the same time for a feature film "Sleepwalkers." In
1995 when a parking structure invaded that section of the backlot most of the house
was demolished, except for several stock pieces, which were reassembled at the
Warner Ranch in 1997 for the latest (to date) reunion movie ("A Walton Easter") and is
still there. This revamped set replaced the old "Fantasy Island" house, which had
previously been on this site." - Steve
"I worked "Fantasy Island" for 3 seasons, and was there when the "Apple's Way" house
[at the Ranch] became Rourke's headquarters. They used the existing structure to a
great extent (adding the Queen Anne white and red trim did most of the work). Near by
were some cabins originally built for "Here Come The Brides". They were painted red &
white as well, and joined the Island." - Gary R.
"The Fantasy Island house at the WB ranch was a copy (more or less) of an actual
Queen Anne cottage which you can still visit at the LA Arboretum. Apparently The
Fantasy Island crew got tired of having to drive out there every week for every episode,
so the structure was duplicated on-lot. It's funny how easily the "tropical" foliage in the
background repurposed to play the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia." - Steve
