The Church of Scientology is reportedly finalizing the purchase of the historic Jim Henson Company Lot in Hollywood. The iconic studio lot was originally built by film legends Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, and Mary Pickford, and served as the home for United Artists during its glory years. It was later used by A&M Records and the Jim Henson Company, known for the Muppets. Chaplin filmed classics such as "The Great Dictator" and "Modern Times" at the studio. The acquisition marks a new chapter in the storied history of one of Hollywood's most famous properties.
