Research for an article about the Saddle River tells me that D.W. Griffith used George Easton's gardens at the Old Mill in Paramus as the backdrop for several of his films, including the "Perils of Pauline" and "Over the Hills." During the 1910-1921 period while Griffith was headquartered in Fort Lee (apparently the site of the first "cliff hanger") Griffith brought to the Old Red Mill for filming the likes of Lillian and Dorothy Gish, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, and Fatty Arbuckle.
