on BBC Radio 4 FM

Universal Studios
First opened in 1915 by the pioneer movie tycoon. Carl Laemmle , Universal City was created on the site of a chicken farm in Hollywood, where visitors could watch the first Westerns being filmed and buy eggs into the bargain. Sheridan Morley toured the studios and talked to some of the people working there-Edith Head , the costume designer who has won eight Oscars; Walter Matthau , starring In a remake of a Shirley Temple film; and Dennis Weaver , who is embarking on a new television series. He also experienced some of the attractions put on for modern tourists, Including an attack by the electronic shark from Jaws, and he played the part of an extra in an Airport disaster movie.
