Description
Aerial
view
of the
Pickford
Studios
lot
,
looking
north
.
When
United
Artists
was
formed
in
1919
by
Charlie
Chaplin
,
Mary
Pickford
,
Douglas
Fairbanks
, and
D
.
W
.
Griffith
, the
founders
did
not
intend
to have a
studio
; the
company
was
solely
a
distribution
company
whose
mission
was to
release
films
made
by
independent
producers
.
Pickford
and
Fairbanks
owned
an
18-acre
property
at
Formosa
Avenue
near
Santa
Monica
Boulevard
in
Hollywood
.
It
was
originally
owned
by
Jesse
Durham
Hampton
, and then
became
known
as the
Pickford-Fairbanks
Studio
.
Over
time
United
Artists
began
to
lure
independent
producers
away
from the
large
studios
,
so
producers
like
Samuel
Goldwyn
and
Joseph
Schenck
rented
offices
and
stages
on the
property
. The
lot
was
renamed
the
United
Artists
Studio
in the
late
1920s
,
however
,
it
operated
as a
separate
entity
from the
United
Artists
distribution
company
. The
studio
lot's
address
is
now
1041
North
Formosa
Avenue
