With Paramount finding itself in play for a potential sale, this excellent piece about the early days of the studio and the filmmakers and talent it employed takes on even more resonance....

Nick Phillips Thanks for sharing ! At the time, PARAMOUT was “the warmest, most pleasant place to work of any studio,” in the words of Ray Rennahan. Today it can be said which ?

Love it! Paramount is also my favorite studio lot to walk around and tour. You can feel the history and impact practically seeping out of every inch of the property. It feels inspiring and powerful.

R.I.P.
Got invited to a few employee movie screenings, plus I used to sneak into the lot back in the day. Location wise, I wouldn't be shocked the land turns into condos, or maybe a members only Golf course.
Such a storied studio, it's interesting to be living in these times of such seismic changes in the business. Sad and scary at times, but interesting.

Paramount is my mother studio. I was a Paramount Page working on sitcoms and being a tour guide. Yes, I pounded the pavement wearing polyester, ugh.

I love the Paramount tour, Lindbergh E Hollingsworth! It must have been pretty cool to spend so much time there.
