A couple of Universal Studios sets in Hollywood burned to the ground last night. Along with this, a warehouse full of footage archives was also destroyed including the holdings of I Love Lucy.
-New York City streetscape: Used in countless movies and television shows. This set burned once before, in 1990, and was rebuilt.
-King Kong: The King Kong exhibit on the Universal Studios tour. The exhibit included a 30-foot-tall moving model of King Kong.
-Back to the Future set: The town square, including the courthouse area and the clock tower that plays a central role in the film.
-Video vaults: These vaults contained videos of numerous Universal-produced TV series and movies. Firefighters managed to remove some of the videotapes. "Nothing is lost forever," Universal President Ron Meyer said of the videos.
-Soundstage: At least one full soundstage.
-The Universal Studios park is still open.
