The Culver Studios is a film studio in Culver City, California. Originally created by silent movie pioneer Thomas H. Ince, the studios have operated under a multitude of names: Ince Studio (1918–1925), De Mille Studios (1925–1928), Pathé Studios (1928–1931), RKO-Pathé Studios (1931–1935), Selznick International Pictures (1935–1956), Desilu-Culver Studios (1956–1970), Culver City Studios (1970–1977), and Laird International Studios (1977–1986). Many classics from Hollywood's Golden Age were filmed there, including King Kong (1933) Gone with the Wind (1939), A Star is Born (1937), Intermezzo (1939), and Rebecca (1940). The Culver Studios was also used for television shows such as The Andy Griffith Show, Lassie, Batman, The Nanny, and, more recently, Scrubs, Arrested Development, and Cougar Town. Eccentric businessman Howard Hughes once had a stake in the studio as well as filmmakers Cecil B. DeMille and David O. Selznick. It was purchased in 2014 by Hackman Capital Partners, which completely modernized the lot over the next four years, while preserving the site's historic structures.
