Most of the major motion picture studios have fled Hollywood for spots like Burbank or Culver City. There is only one big name movie studio still actually located in Hollywood: the huge Paramount Studios. It also happens to be the longest continually operating studio in Hollywood. And Paramount is also one of the few studios that admit the public on regular guided tours of the studio's back lot. Paramount Studios began in 1913 in a rented horse barn near Sunset & Vine, and moved to its current location on Gower Street in 1926, into an existing studio which had been built in 1917. (That historic barn, where DeMille shot "The Squaw Man," is now open to the public as the Hollywood Studio Museum.) Over the years, its sprawling back lot grew and absorbed what used to be the adjacent RKO Studios. The list of landmark motion pictures filmed by Paramount Pictures itself reads like a virtual history of Hollywood, beginning with classic silent films such as "The Sheik" with Rudolph Valentino (1921), and including the first movie to ever win an Academy Award for Best Picture, 1927's "Wings." Paramount was the home of such early superstars as Mae West, W.C. Fields, and Mary Pickford, as well as directors Cecil B. Demille and D.W. Griffith.
