ORANGE COUNTY ALMANAC : A Long Movie History
Orange County’s relationship with Hollywood began to flourish in 1910. During the next 20 years, at least 500 movies were filmed in various spots in the county.
The first major work was D.W. Griffith’s “Two Brothers,” shot at Mission San Juan Capistrano.
In 1923, Moses parted the Red Sea just south of Seal Beach for Cecil B. DeMille’s silent movie version of “The Ten Commandments.”
