Los Angeles, CA recent comments:

  • "Greenacres", Frank (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    It used to sit on a much larger lot. Much of it was sold and subdivided. Harold Lloyd had a small 9 hole golf course. So did neighbor Jack Warner. In order to play a full 18, they'd open a gate to the adjoining properties. Those must have been the days!
  • Fox Studio Lot, Frank (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    At one time, the studio contained all the land Century City currently sits on. Nearly 300 acres. After the debacle that was CLEOPATRA, Fox was forced to sell the huge backlot that contained numerous exterior sets.
  • Stage 9, Frank (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    The TV series M.A.S.H. was filmed on this stage. Later used for NYPD BLUE.
  • Stage 1 (Scoring), Frank (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    Newman scoring stage.
  • Stage 16, Frank (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    BONANZA was filmed on this stage which contained the set for the Ponderosa.
  • Stage 11, Frank (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    Stages 11 through 14 were the first sound stages purposely built on the Paramount lot. Right after they were completed they burned to the ground. This forced Paramount to pay workers around the clock to rebuild them which they did in under six months.
  • Stage 15, Frank (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    Was originally a large exterior water tank (A tank) that was covered over with a tin-walled stage. Converted into a sound stage in the 1930s. It opens to adjacent stage 14 which turns it into a larger stage. Doors on 11 &12 open onto 14. Some of the largest sets used at Paramount were shot when all the stages were combined.
  • Stage 18, Frank (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    Hitchcock's REAR WINDOW was filmed on this stage.
  • Stage 24a, Frank (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    This was originally the RKO music scoring stage. Later on when Desilu bought the lot, Glen Glenn Sound took it over operating it as a Foley stage (Stage F) as well as a music recording stage. The original STAR TREK TV series was scored on that stage. Stage 24A no longer exists nor does 22. The dividing walls were knocked down and now they 're part of two larger stages.
  • 6040 Sunset Blvd.- Reliable Pictures historical site, Frank (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    The two sound stages were numbered 10 & 11 when it was Columbia Studios.
  • Poverty Row movie studio site. 1439 N. Beachwood., Frank (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    It became Stage 5 at Columbia and was the first sound stage on the lot. Later on it became the music scoring stage. The original Vitaphone sound booth is still up on the north wall, now covered over with soundproofing material.
  • Mount Lee Transmitter Complex, Frank (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    The original TV studio/transmitter building was demolished sometime in the 1990s.
  • Stage 7, Frank (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    This was the famed Goldwyn music recording stage where such notable films score as GONE WITH THE WIND, MY FAIR LADY, WEST SIDE STORY and THE ALAMO were recorded. In the latter part of the 1970s it reverted back to filming.
  • Avalon Warner Place, desu wrote 17 years ago:
    Instead of deleting it, you should edit it to make it less "advertisey" and remove the false link.
  • 1432 N. Gower Bischoff Studios historic location, Frank (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    The Bischoff Stage was originally on Beachwood Drive. It was later moved to face Gower Street.
  • Avalon Warner Place, TheAdmiral wrote 17 years ago:
    This is more of an advertisement and the Wikipedia link is fake.
  • Los Angeles County Department of Coroner (the County Morgue), susanlee (guest) wrote 17 years ago:

  • Walt Disney gravesite, kaneharris (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    This comment is intended with great respect, because Mr. Disney was one of the most respectful famous men in history. The trees over his gravesite look like one of the "hidden mickeys" that people are always looking for all over Mr. Disney's theme parks.
