Movies at Ghost Ranch
Introduction Ghost Ranch has a long history with the movie industry, many actors and directors have worked here to produce countless films and commercials. Maybe that's why many guests feel so drawn to this place; they have seen it before they arrive.
1950: Cary Grant visited for 3 summers with his wife Betsy Drake, staying 2-3 weeks each time. Early 1950's: John Wayne came here scouting for a film site for a new Western (after much negotiation, Arthur Pack decided against it fearing devastation of the land).
