For a young guy, that's a fair list of celebrities. You won me over by your inclusion and research of George Burns and Gracie Allen. Your honorable mentions were also strong. I grew up watching many of these people and they still seem so familiar. In 1963 my mother and I stumbled onto the Academy Awards in Santa Monica. Society was different then and so was security. We just walked right up to the red carpet and watched Gregory Peck, John Wayne, Sophia Loren and Peter O'Toole walk by us about twenty feet away. Cheers.

A great selection. Pure class (again!). In 1956, my mum was training to be a telephonist at Slough and Great Missenden in the UK. She was waiting at a bus stop and the traffic lights changed to red. An American army staff car stopped right in front of her - she could hear giggling coming from within. Through the side rear window she saw Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller on the way to Pinewood Studios, for the filming of "The Prince and the Showgirl." The lights changed and the car pulled away... On the same training course she had a run-in with Dirk Bogarde. That's another story!

The lady training my mum said: "That's Dirk Bogarde - he's rather full of himself, so we always keep him waiting." That wasn't the exact terminology used at the time! When the call was answered, Dirk Bogarde said: "You silly girl - you have kept me waiting." She had.

My favorite story about Mel Blanc: how he got the job of "voicing" Benny's ancient Maxwell automobile on his radio program.

The most famous grave I ever visited was the final resting place of Eva "Evita" Perón at Recoleta cemetary in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I was there on a trip from Argentina to Antarctica and back just as covid was starting to grip the world in February 2020. I'm glad I took the time to go, the cemetary itself is a masterpiece of mausoleums, dating back nearly 300 years.

Evita's body traveled all over the world after her lavish 1952 state funeral. Plans were made for a Statue of Liberty-sized statue and memorial for Senora Peron, in Buenos Aires, as the lastwords of the Broadway musical state. Politically unrest, in 1955, sent both Perons into exile. Evita rested for a long time in an Italian cemetery, under an assumed name. In 1973 she was then sent, and laid-out in a posh apartment house in Madrid, Spain. (Ava Gardiner lived on the floor below.) Juan Peron, and then wife Isabel, later Argentina's president, actually combed the hair and adjusted the clothing of the mummified, former First Lady. Peron returned to Argentina and the presidency in 1973, where Evita was later entombed at Recoletta.

We were on the back end of a roadtrip to Florida, ahead of schedule, so driving the back roads, and passed a cemetery in the outskirts of an unremarkable 'old Florida' town. From the corner of my eye I saw a huge gravestone with a guitar on it, so I had to stop and see who was buried there...Bo Diddley. A gravesite worthy of the "Pharoah of a Man" that he was.

We did a night tour of one of our local cemeteries at our of the Silent City. It was a week before Halloween. The have many influential people from my state (Wiscaaaansin).

25:27 The most interesting thing about Poe’s writings is much of his work was written in Richmond, Virginia; where he spent most of his childhood and many years after that. The city embodies the spirit of Poe as it is a place marred by tragedy; it scars the soil and the land. Whether it be the tragic theater fire of 1811, which claimed 72 lives, or the horrors of war on its doorsteps, the city has lived and breathed tragedy; where the heart scarred by sorrow is drawn towards like a moth to a flame.

I'm glad you left Poe's grave for the last one. I was getting my itinerary ready so I could meet up with a couple of sorority sisters. That didn't happen cuz COVID-19 brought to a screeching halt. It ruined our little girl time/ reunion. The sad part now one of the sisters passed away from contracting COVID. So the other sister & I still to make that trip happen sometime with in the year 2023. Anyway I really appreciate your videos. You have smooth, gentle & very unique voice. To me it's the perfect graveyard voice. Not to ominous but still a little on the macabre side. So many others are horrible. They bore me to tears. With these monotone voices. I'm from south Central Oklahoma. I'm about 11 miles from the Oklahoma & Texas state line. The Big Red River separates us. I'm true southerner all the way down to my toes. I was blessed to move around with my job as a young teacher. My 1st teaching job was at a private Catholic school in. Memphis, Tennessee Memphis was amazing with one of a kind juke joints & a few hole in the wall jazz clubs. I was young & and hungry for my new life to start. I was seriously naive & ignorant of the danger lurking in the shadows all around me. I had no fear & wasn't scared of anything. I was ready to do part by righting all the wrongs done to the underdogs. Being fres outta college and had no idea how the real world worked but I can say I wouldn't change my life it for the world. I love & taught history. I also love to travel so that's why I took the opportunities to move deeper into rural southern states like Arkansas, Mississippi , Louisiana & Alabama. I have a couple thoughts on doing a new video ab the deep south grave yards.. I've always been intrigued by Hank Williams & death. He was a lot like Paula very tormented soul. Alcohol, pain pills & woman led to his downfall. Martin Luther King's assassination is still mysterious. It's crazy how he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine motel & James Earl Ray knew exactly what he was going to step out on that balcony & killed him. During my 2 year stay in Memphis I became obsessed with him & the fight which in sued the city of Memphis over they wanting demolish little rain motel & build a new museum. The city ended up With 80 to 100 people on the daily got (me included). We had tents & sleeping as we made circle all the way around the Lorraine motel. No one was gonna destroy it without a fight, legally verbally and spiritually We drew a lot of of attention. Local TV news stations & newspaper. It was my only time to ever do a sit in. We stayed strong & the city finally backed down & the motel which is a huge part of our American history.. Today it's super cool civil rights museum. Anyway I guess that's all I need to say there's a couple of other Graves that I'm curious about and I'll just save that for another time God bless keep up the good work

If you google " Al Jolson's Funeral" you will see thousands of people outside the Jewish Temple on Hollywood Blvd., which had to be blocked - off. One of L A.'s biggest funerals comparable to Rudolf Valentino's, in 1926. Younger people don't understand what a HUGE star Jolson was, and the thousands of miles he logged entertaining the troops in WW2 and Korea. His death may have been attributed to complications from tropical infections he was exposed to in the South Pacific.

Arthur, I just stumbled on your KZbin videos and I'm hooked. It's obvious you spend a lot of time making your videos - the high quality shows. I'm 67 years young and I know many of the people you bring focus to, but many I don't know so that's an education for me. Thank you for sharing.

Growing up in the Bay Area my aunt live across the street from a mausoleum in Colma. My cousins and I would spend our summers riding bikes through the grave yards of Colma and to this day I still know where to find Levi Strauss and Joe Dimagio and remember the first time I stumbled on the grave of Wyatt Earp.

Thank you for showing me graves i could never hope to visit and explaining about those who i was not familiar with. Looking forward to another year of great content, as a three time cancer sufferer i am at peace with my own mortality and find your shows oddly comforting. Keep up the good work mate.

Poe is an excellent and incredibly apt choice for your #1. I think his grave is also the only one on your list here that I’ve personally visited. I fell in love with his work when I was introduced to it in middle school by a teacher who absolutely loved Poe and was incredibly passionate about sharing that love with his students. Mr. Levi went all out with props, spooky candlelight, and wonderfully dramatic readings of Poe’s work. It was pretty awesome. I hope he realizes how impactful those classes were to his students.

My favorite grave has always been Robert Kennedy. I was at Arlington going by President Kennedy grave and saw a lone cross and went to look at it. I had forgot they buried Bobby there next to his brother. Summer of 68 sucked badly. The only good thing about 1968 was the Christmas Apollo 8 circling the Moon. Thank you John. And Bobby.

Lee Marvin. He has always been my favorite actor; Paint Your Wagon and Cat Ballou still sit on my movie shelf. Visited his grave in Arlington Cemetery when I found out he was there. As a former licensed DC tour guide, I visited Arlington on nearly a daily basis with groups. Discovering Lee there, I always made sure to take that path to the Tomb of the Unknown with my groups.

If you ever visit New Orleans, Louisiana, there are a ton of cemeteries and tours you can take. But I HIGHLY recommend visiting Holt Cemetery. It's a very humbling experience. It's out of the way and the entrance is hidden by a college parking lot, but If you find it, you will experience many graves with odd markers, such as a mailbox, handmade graves, and some with none at all. Also visit some famous jazz musicians, who's graves have been lost to the cemetery grounds.

Yes, the famous, but also the ones who were not quite that famous but contributed to our entertainment or thought. I thank you for taking us to the niche of Reta Shaw, who I always loved seeing her in various roles in movies and TV. She reminded me of my favorite aunt who was the same age as her when she died. The wonderful tour of my world, New York and the many famous buried here as well as taking us abroad and all through California. I am looking forward to what the future of your channel has to offer.

Favorite famous grave(s), those of the Wright Family at Woodland Cemetery, Dayton, Ohio - born and raised here, family history in aviation, I cry each time I visit knowing what those 2 brothers gave us all. There are a lot of famous Daytonians buried there and my 2nd favorite is Paul Lawrence Dunbar, his resting place is not far from the brothers that were his friends. This channel brings me peace and joy with each new video. Thank you A. Dark for all you do.

My favorite that I went to see beforehand is the Grave of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery. I had goosebumps the few hours I was there, I want to go back someday. My favorite that I happened to see while I was wandering was Jimmie Monteith in Normandy American Cemetery. It was amazing to hear about his story and be able to pay my respects 75 years after he was killed in the D Day invasion.

My two favorite graves are near each other at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Chris Cornell, the lead singer of the grunge band Soundgarden, and punk band The Ramones' guitarist Johnny Ramone's grave. I saw them play on the same day: August 2, 1996. Johnny's ashes aren't buried there yet, as his wife Linda still has them, but when she passes, they both will be buried there.
