- Tucson has long had a good relationship with Hollywood, but where did that begin? Local historian and Arizona Daily Star columnist David Leighton returns to share the story of how a man named Nick C. Hall was instrumental in building that connection, making Tucson a place where stars could choose to get publicity or to avoid it, and how Old Tucson Studios came to be.
VIEW LARGER Jean Arthur was the main character in the movie "Arizona" in 1940 near the old church. Nick C. Hall got Columbia Pictures to come out to Tucson and construct an exact replica of Tucson in the 1860s during the U.S. Civil War and then they filmed the movie "Arizona" at this set.
