Early February on the Paramount lot


I was working on the Paramount Studios lot a few weeks ago, and I took this picture of the front gates, known as the Bronson Gate. It was the first time I had been back on the lot since my Deep Space Nine days, nearly twenty years had gone by, and the studio had changed a lot.

To the left and inside of the gate is the window where I picked up my check every week during DS9. These gates are the reason that a young Charles Buchinsky decided to rename himself Charles Bronson, and these are the gates that Gloria Swanson was driven through in the classic 1950 film Sunset Boulevard. Notice how I listed picking up my check as more important than the location for a classic picture:)

The pizza and salad combo at the commissary are recommended.


Here's a trailer for the picture:
