My Hollywood Star
The Studios in Hollywood



There are a few movie studios still in Hollywood. There are more movie studios and lots in the San Fernando Valley and across the U.S. If you want to look at or take a picture in front of a studio while you are in Hollywood, these are the well known movie studios which are closest and biggest.


Paramount Pictures

Paramount Pictures, 5555 Melrose

The big studio that has always been in Hollywood and which still makes major movies and TV shows. This was once DesiLu Productions during the "I Love Lucy" era. There are still many pictures of Lucy and Fred and Ethel and Ricky in the buildings here. It also was RKO Movie Studios at one time.

Yep, that's a police car. You can't just go walking in.

Raleigh Studios

Raleigh Studios on Melrose directly across from Paramount

I have worked here on a Dr. Pepper commercial. I know the lot is big enough for this studio to be very active, but I never worked it much. This movie studio looks like many of the bigger movie studios when you work on the lot. It has huge sound stages and yet it is practcally unknown. The building face is beautiful and it is a good place to take some pictures.
