Burbank

Burbank is a city located in Los Angeles County in the US state of California. Burbank is located in two distinct areas, with its downtown, civic center and key neighborhoods nestled on the slopes and foothills that rise to the Verdugo Mountains, and other areas located in flatlands at the eastern end of the San Fernando Valley, 12 miles north of downtown Los Angeles.

Billed as the "Media Capital of the World," many media and entertainment companies are headquartered or have significant production facilities in Burbank, including Warner Bros. Entertainment, The CW Television Network, Warner Music Group, NBC Universal, The Walt Disney Company, Cartoon Network, Viacom, Nickelodeon and PBS.

Burbank is the birth place of many notable film and television personalities such as actor Wil Wheaton, who went on to become a familiar name in the sci-fi genre for his portrayal of adolescent genius Wesley Crusher on the 1980s-90s television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. Also from Burbank is Lucasfilm production assistant Amy Allen, who was born on October 26th, 1976. Aside from her visual production work, Allen also took some time in front of the camera as the lightsaber-wielding Jedi Aayla Secura in the Star Wars prequel films Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
