Preserving a cultural icon

In the early ‘80s, Oscar winning director Francis Ford Coppola came to Tulsa, OK to catapult S.E. Hinton’s memorable characters off the pages of The Outsiders book onto the big screen. Rather than use a Hollywood back lot, the film maker and crew transformed an ordinary Tulsa neighborhood into a fully functioning movie set. In 1983, The Outsiders was released, featuring a cast of young, talented actors who would go on to become household names.

The director and film crews departed, the actors and props scattered, and the local extras went back to their day to day lives. But, on a quiet Tulsa street corner, the iconic “Curtis Brothers House,” the modest bungalow where the scrappy, close-knit Greasers lived, loved, fought and reconciled, remained a tangible testament to the cinematic legend.

Pony talks with Randy the Soc

This Kum & Go, formerly a Tastee-Freez-esque Burger Stand is the location of Pony’s conversation with the Socs, while Two-Bit is “baby-sitting” him. The Football stadium visible in the background is still across the street and virtually unchanged.
