The Warner Bros. Studios Tour Hollywood has kicked off a special tour of its backlot in conjunction with Turner Classic Movies.
The TCM Classic Film Tour is a permanent part of the tour since launching on April 16 and takes visitors to some rarely seen portions of the studio.
Guests can visit new points of interest including the exterior of James Dean’s apartment in which he resided while working on the lot, and the rose garden, which in the early years was Jack Warner’s tennis court and was surrounded by talent dressing rooms.
Visitors will also have the chance to stop at the Property House, which has over a half-million television and movie props, including the pirate chair from “Captain Blood,” a 1935 film starring Errol Flynn, and the Tiffany chandelier from “The Letter.”
Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group’s Co-Chief Executives Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy said that for 100 years Warner Bros. has stood for the very best in moviemaking, adding that TCM has continued to spotlight the legacy of the studio with program offerings. Â
“We are thrilled movie lovers from around the world can visit the iconic Burbank lot to experience the TCM Classic Films Tour and celebrate the rich history of the studio’s contributions to cinema,” De Luca and Abdy said in a statement.
