STAGE Backlot and, in particular, Western Street, 8 where television shows like Gunsmoke, STAGE Rawhide, and The Rifleman shot their outdoor 7 scenes, as well as movies such as Gene Autry’s Tumbling Tumbleweeds, John Wayne’s STAGE Westward Ho!, and Roy Rogers in Southward 13 Ho!. (I guess there was a lot of Ho!-ing going on in those days.) Here’s a lovely pic of the lot pretty much as you know it now with the eastern part of lot containing Stages 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20, as well as lots of bungalows and Buildings 5, 7 and 8. Well, here’s a way back picture of it in the 50’s. Notice the differences? If you look over James Arness’ shoulder you can see the Church Tower and in the tower, of course, is the church bell, which, believe it or not, is the pretty little bell that now sits in front of the Sater Parking Structure. Western Street is also where Stages 7, 8 and 13 used to hide (they’ve been located And finally, what would a movie lot be without a funny little hidden secret. Up atop Mack Sennett Building, there’s an odd little structure. Those in the know, know that this strange little thing is a shower that was built for (a Way over Eastward Ho!.(sorry, got carried substantiated rumor has it) Mrs. Mack away) you would see the end of Western Sennett and later used by none other Street where the lovely Western Church than The Duke himself, John Wayne. used to sit. Ok, now, just so you know, this 5’9” intrepid reporter went up there and stood in this shower. John Wayne was supposedly 6’4”. Either The Duke liked to stoop when he took showers or they’ve changed the roof height on this structure. I’m just saying. Look for more stuff that’s not there anymore in the months to come. And if you have any pictures of stuff from your years here at the facility, we would love to add them to our archives!. Please get in touch with Marsha Gorodkin, x5099. 1 PRODUCTION SCHEDULE

On March 16, 2016, CBS Entertainment Diversity presented an evening of philanthropy, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and interactive discussion for the Redefining HERstory™ documentary. This exclusive event was hosted by CBS Entertainment Diversity’s Executive Vice President, Tiffany Smith-Anoa’i. After a screening of the documentary preview trailer, held at Carla’s Café on the CBS Studio Center Lot, guests enjoyed a talkback session with Director Sil Lai Abrams, CEO of Truth In Reality and Executive Producer Sean Joell Johnson, Principal of Left Center Entertainment. The conversation was moderated by comedian & television personality Amanda Seales. As shown in the documentary, Redefining HERstory™ is a campus based educational and social action campaign developed by Truth In Reality. The goal of the program is to challenge students on their existing belief systems around domestic and sexual violence, and redefine the predominately negative existing media narrative of African American and Afro-Latina women and girls, by using the media messaging on as the basis for this conversation. n n n
