Brooklyn, the Lower East side, the Upper East side, SoHo, and Greenwich Village. These are just some of the neighborhoods that Paramount Pictures’ famous New York Streets backlot can be transformed into with just the right props, camera angles and imagination. Iconic films like Breakfast at Tiffany's, Mommy Dearest, and Sunset Blvd. were filmed here. The cast of Friends and Seinfeld called these pre-fabricated streets “home”.

On the set for VIOLET GREY’s cover story the lot transformed into the domain of supermodel on-the-run, Cindy Crawford. Photographer Emma Summerton captured the beautiful fugitive ensconced in a getaway car and atop a fire escape overlooking her city...welcome to Cindy City.
