DID YOU KNOW: Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Red Skelton, Buster Keaton, and Ronald Reagan maintained part time residences within the classic walls of the Culver Hotel. The Culver Hotel increased in fame as MGM began filming “The Wizard of Oz” when nearly all of the one hundred and twenty four little people, cast as the munchkins, spent four weeks at the hotel. Legend had it that a secret underground tunnel was built to usher the munchkins to their set at the Culver Studio, as well as to ferry alcohol and women during the Prohibition Era, however the secret tunnel was actually a well-used underground pathway for pedestrians to cross the tiny but busy boulevard that once separated the hotel from Culver Studios.
Culver City, also known as “The Heart of Screenland”, has waived all location permit fees for film and television production within its boarders. If interested in filming in Culver City contact the Filming Office at the Culver City Police Department, 310-253-6212.
