Most of us (avid golden-era Hollywood film fans) know the front façade of David O. Selznick’s studio from the logo that appeared at the start of a Selznick International Picture. Judging from the car parked out front, this photo appeared it be taken around 1940. Selznick leased this studio from RKO between 1935 and 1946, so this is where he shot: A Star is Born (1937), Gone with the Wind (1939), Rebecca (1940), Since You Went Away (1944), Duel in the Sun. (1946) After a stint being owned by Howard Hughes, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz’s Desilu Productions, purchased the studio lot in 1956 and television soon became the primary business. These days, this studio is called The Culver Studios and its main lessee is Amazon Studios.
