Selznick International Pictures, Washington Boulevard, Culver City, California, 1935

In 1935, David O. Selznick broke away from MGM by forming Selznick International Pictures, and moving into what was then RKO-Pathé. This photo shows us how it looked the year he moved in and is similar to the shot we would all become familiar with at the opening of his movies, especially “Gone with the Wind.” Miraculously, it looks pretty much the same these days and I hope it continues to. I’ve just heard that Amazon Studios have just bought it, so I hope they respect the Hollywood history that oozes from every brick and window.
