Filming of North by Northwest at Westbury House entrance
Fans of the big and small screens know that the location for films and tv shows plays a major role in the overall production. Since 1958, Westbury House and its formal gardens and woodlands have been used as a location for dozens of feature films and television programs.
Join Paul Hunchak, Director of Visitor Services, who will lead a presentation on these film productions. Paul will also share the details necessary to undertake such projects at the Gardens, as well as the lengths the Gardens' staff go to protect its collections and the Old Westbury Gardens image.
THIS IS THE FINAL LECTURE IN THE OLD WESTBURY GARDENS 2023 SPRING LECTURE SERIES. (STAY TUNED FOR INFORMATION ON THE FALL SERIES TO COME!)
