Melody Ranch Motion Picture Studio | Newhall, CA
“Since 1915, when the studio was first opened for business, an endless string of hard riding shoot-em-ups have been produced at this location. Monogram Studios made 750 “B” westerns before selling the ranch to singing cowboy Gene Autry in 1952. Legendary cowboy actors, including William S. Hart, Gary Cooper, Tom Mix, Roy Rogers, Bill Boyd, and John Wayne filmed their westerns here until 1962 when a fire swept through Placerita Canyon destroying the main western street.”
The website for this piece of entertainment history has lots of photos of areas available for filming. The ranch is most famous to many people as belonging to Gene Autry, “The Singing Cowboy”. Currently, Melody Ranch is part of Veluzat Motion Picture Studios, owned by Andre Veluzat and Renaud Veluzat.
