 During TV news coverage of the true identity of "Deep Throat" that  aired in 2005, Robert Redford (I) (qv) stated that they tried to  film in the actual Washington Post newsroom, but it proved  impossible because many Post employees were too aware of the camera,  and some even tried to "act". Redford stated some employees would  disappear into restrooms and apply make up. The production team  recreated the facility at a Burbank studio in Los Angeles for a  reported $450,000. The Post did, however, cooperate with the  productions quest for authenticity by shipping several crates of  actual newsroom refuse that included: unopened mail, government  directories, Washington telephone directories, wire service copy,  calendars, and even stickers from Benjamin C. Bradlee (qv)s  secretarys desk.
