Facts about Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ
The famous chariot scene was filmed at what is now the intersection of LaCienega and Venice Boulevards in Los Angeles.
During a European visit to move the production from Italy to the US, producer Louis B. Mayer stopped in Berlin, Germany, and attended a screening of Gösta Berlings saga. The production introduced him to the actress who would become one of the studio's most bankable stars a few years later: Greta Garbo.
This film had an "extra" cast like no other. Many Hollywood stars showed up on set to watch the shooting and were pressed into service as extras, especially in the chariot race. In addition, many who would later become Hollywood's top stars, but who were at the time just struggling actors, were also in the crowd scenes as extras. Among well-known and soon-to-be-well-known names "working" in the film were John Barrymore, Lionel Barrymore, Joan Crawford, Gary Cooper, Marion Davies, Myrna Loy, John Gilbert, Douglas Fairbanks, Clark Gable, Harold Lloyd, Carole Lombard, Janet Gaynor, Fay Wray, Mary Pickford, Colleen Moore, Lillian Gish, Dorothy Gish, Samuel Goldwyn and Rupert Julian.
