Date of Construction: 1941
Sunset Boulevard (1950):
The directions made by the Paramount guard for Norma and Joe to go meet Cecil B. DeMille on “Stage 18” is accurate: this stage, one of the largest on the Paramount lot, was known for years as “The DeMille Stage,” and now is called “The Star Trek Stage”, as all the “Trek” movies and some scenes from the TV shows have shot there (the TV series, from Star Trek: The Next Generation onward had their main sets right across the studio street on Stages 8 and 9, which are right below the second-floor office occupied by Betty Schaefer in Sunset Blvd.. Those offices later became the home of the “Star Trek” art department.)
