 It was not until David O. Selznick's time at the helm, from 1935 to 1946, that the studios became fully built out and included new on-site bungalows.A final stage facility was built (stages 15/16) and the main studio site was developed to closely resemble the current layout.As the Culver Studios grew in size and stature, a 28.5 acre backlot was used to build full-scale outdoor sets.
