This looks like a scene from a movie but it’s actually FOR one. Word got out that Paramount Pictures had put out a casting call for a Gary Cooper picture called the “The Spoilers” (1930) Consequently dozens and dozens of extras flooded the studios Bronson Gate. I wonder how many were chosen.
Shame Paramount now looks like a sterile blah fortress. I used to love to just drive down the quaint little street in front of the original gate and was thrilled to actually walk through it when I temp’d in various departments back in the early ’80s. Although the area was “old” even back then, it somehow glowed with Hollywood glamour to me.
