Golden Oak Ranch, Walt Disney Film Backlot

7/10/2020

Golden Oak Ranch is an 890-acre movie ranch owned by the Disney Studio Services division of Walt Disney Studios subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company that serves as a filming location and backlot. The ranch is off of Placerita Canyon Road outside of Newhall, California, less than an hour north of Los Angeles; its entrance is not far from Placerita Canyon Road's intersection with California State Route 14.

Walt Disney paid $300,000 for 315 acres of the land back in 1959. Other land purchases since then have increased the size of the movie ranch to 890 acres.

Golden Oak Ranch has been owned by the Disney Company since 1959 and has been a frequent shooting location for movies and TV shows, such as 1957’s “Old Yeller,” 2001’s “Pearl Harbor,” and 1993-2002’s “The X-Files.”

The ranch is seen numerous film and television productions including: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End; Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Desperate Housewives and The Love Bug.

There's MORE to the Max Factor Museum in Hollywood than Marilyn Monroe's Make Up collection. There are several rooms with featured actresses. Joan Crawford, Lucille Ball, Judy Garland, Lana Turner and Rita Hayworth. AND! Max Factor's make up cases are on display.

Tickets are $15 and there are three levels to the self guidedtour. I recommend this museum! It's wonderfully glamorous.
