The Brady Bunch Backdrop From "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?"

The backdrop used outside The Bradys front door was the same one used in the Bette Davis, Joan Crawford classic "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?"! That film was shot in 1961 on a soundstage at what is now Raleigh Studios at 650 North Bronson Avenue in Los Angeles. It is located across the street from Paramount Studios where The Brady Bunch was filmed.

The backdrop was also used in The Kelly Kids episode, and an early episode of My Favorite Martian, also filmed at Paramount.

The Kelly Kids Also Used The Bradys Front Door Backdrop

It would be interesting to know how it got to Paramount. The backdrop 

isn't an exact match to the real life location across the street from The Baby Jane House in Hancock Park in Los Angeles. (Below)

Maybe Paramount had it first and lent it to them? 

Thanks SO MUCH to Bachu for this info! 

This was a great surprise
