The new tour focuses on the history of TV and film and features new spots including the exterior of James Dean’s apartment where he lived while working on the lot, the serene rose garden that was home to Jack Warner’s tennis court, and the Eastwood Scoring Stage that was built in 1929 and where many titles were scored.
