Working with the Cultural Affairs Committee of the Studio City Neighborhood Council, The Museum of the San Fernando Valley is gearing up for an effort to locate and tell the histories of the talented craftsmen and women who made Republic Studios' stars look great. We need the help of the public to prepare these stories for the 75th Anniversary of Republic Studios.
The CBS Studio Center located at 4024 Radford Avenue in Studio City is seldom open to the public, but will host the 75th Anniversary of Republic Studios in September 2010. The historic place was once the home of Mack Sennett's Keystone Kops, Mary Tyler Moore and great movies like The Quiet Man with John Wayne.
The Museum will need help to make this the success it rightfully deserves.
