FAMOUS GRAVE TOUR - Angelus Rosedale & Chapel of the Pines (Hattie McDaniel, Anna May Wong, etc.)

[@HollywoodGraveyard]

Many have commented about the possibility of raising funds to facilitate the proper placement of some of the stars whose ashes rest unclaimed in the vault. We're actually looking into that, and will keep you posted. Let us know in the comments if you'd like to support this effort.

Hollywood Graveyard thanx man

[@thema1998]

Hollywood Graveyard That sounds like a good idea.

[@hartrose33]

yes I would love that.

[@deanpedley]

I was going to ask about this too it seems a lack of respect to have these great people that gave so much stuck in a vault...great video once again I always look forward to new uploads

[@Winterdog6]

I would be interested in that campaign.

[@margyduke1136]

Hattie McDaniels story brought me to tears....what an absolute beautiful gesture of Hollywood Forever Cemetery to put up a memorial for her there. Bless her and rest he soul! I love this channel 💜

[@nonblonde35]

My heart sunk when for the stars who were unclaimed. I wish there was something I could do.

[@zima04]

Same. There are sooo many celebrities that are almost forgotten because their graves remain unmarked.

[@carmenmartinez1155]

Wish we could get together and made start a fundraiser to get them placed where they should be.

It is heartbreaking 😥😥😥

[@tla9895]

Omg Hattie McDaniel broke my heart with her acceptance speech😞 People who ran that hotel and graveyard back then should be very ashamed, just disgraceful! What a strong courageous woman Hattie was! Reason #975 I love this channel so much, such amazing history lessons on top of everything else... Where you at Hollywood Graveyard?!?! I’m almost through watching the clips you have.. I NEEEEEED MORE!!!😁 Please please go to Jamestown!! I desperately wanna see Lucy’s grave!!! Can you do an I love Lucy episode?😃

[@327adams]

I'm so happy to finally see Hattie McDaniel's final resting place, it's so sad that she couldn't be buried in Hollywood Forever, but at least there is a cenotaph there now! R I P Hattie

[@gidzmobug2323]

One of the previous owners of Hollywood Forever said no because of Hattie's race. Nice to see that its new owner was at least willing to reach out and make things right.

[@wilmerphillips4257]

Wow! I'm so surprised at how many ashes were not claimed and they are all Caucasian!

It's not forgotten anymore.

[@CleoPhoenixRT]

Hollywood Forever doesnt deserve Hattie. She belongs where she rests and in our hearts. Edit: Wow the unclaimed ashes portion was a special kind of sad. 😞

[@gidzmobug2323]

What happened with Hattie happened under the old management (the previous owner would not allow Hattie to be buried there because of her race). The present management did try to make things right by reaching out to Hattie's family.

[@CleoPhoenixRT]

@@gidzmobug2323 I dont quite remember the whole context of that comment but I know if a business wronged my family member in a major way then returned after new management (not even the same racist staff)...It would change nothing. I dont forget. So thats null to me.

[@hollypebbles]

@@CleoPhoenixRT That is a great pity.

[@MosaicRose99]

Arthur I hope you never stop. Your videos are simply incredible! Just wanted to also add that it just feels really sad when someone's ashes remain unclaimed, and they never reach their known final resting place. It also feels sad when someone doesn't have any head stone or marker, unless it was their choice....

[@cherylh3091]

I totally agree! How can an Academy Award winner not have funds OR family? Very sad

[@afgaming6375]

I know what you mean. My nana has been dead since December 27th 2015 and she still has no engraving on her headstone, and my mother can’t do anything about it because she doesn’t have the right, only one of my uncles and aunties do, and there both to lazy and stubborn to do anything. It just really makes me angry, because every time I visit her headstone, I feel like I’m visiting nothing and that she’s not being remembered.

[@sisterspooky]

+A&F Gaming : Though she may not have the right to engrave the current stone, she can buy one and have it placed there. There’s some available online that can serve as a “marker” until the permanent one is fixed. I’m like you.... there’s no excuse not to mark someone’s grave. How would they like to be just dumped in the ground to anonymity? I highly doubt that. Yet they don’t take care of people they allegedly “love”? That’s messed up. Unless the deceased expressed their will for NO marker to be erected, a marker should be there. Plain and simple.

[@annnorton9877]

Thank yu Arthur you make my day you do a wonderful job explaing everything about the life and death of all those wonderful actors and actresses may the rest in peace and I thank you and God bless you Arther from Ann Norton from London England

[@flizard9638]

Mine's too

[@psychcorp4449]

Once again, Arthur Dark demonstrates that a cemetery need not have green, well-manicured graves to be beautiful. The beauty comes from his substantive narration and the poignant film clips such as that of Hattie McDaniel accepting her Academy Award or the history of Anna May Wong's career. And, of course, the presentation of Dooley Wilson singing "As Time Goes By" made my day. Thank you, Arthur, for another creative masterpiece.

[@philo2808]

Arthur, u r getting better and better. The ashes of those forgotten stars was just an unbelievable part of the show, great idea to include those stars. I often thought of what happen to Thomas Mitchell, wasnt he great in It's a Wonderful Life.

[@melissadiane13]

That’s so sad about Edmund Gwenn. He plays such a huge part of so many peoples holiday traditions yet his ashes are sitting in a basement unclaimed.

[@jec1ny]

Someone should take up a collection or start an online funding drive to get him properly interred.

[@thomaslevy2119]

Melissa Yarbrough and jec1ny: I was going to say the same things. Mr. Gwenn deserves more respect than that. I read that he died penny-less in an old folks home and that is likely why his ashes do not have a proper resting place. Merry Christmas, Edmund, wherever you are . . .

[@HollywoodGraveyard]

We're looking into the possibility of facilitating the inurnment of some of these stars, and will keep everyone posted.

[@heatherp9359]

[@MsCharley13]

It’s such a shame so many talented actors and actresses aren’t properly celebrated in death. Through your tours I am now watching a lot of old films and finding new actors who’s talent is immense. I’m in the UK but would be happy to donate money towards getting a plaque or something to celebrate the lives of these people.

[@ilahildasissac1943]

That's very sweet of you.

[@nandep2149]

The thought of so many people's remains sitting on a basement shelf, without a remembrance, is extremely sad. Great artists such as H.B. Warner, and anyone for that matter, should have a final resting place.😟 I'd be interested in helping if there is some way the courts and cemetery would allow a group (of non-relatives) to get together and coordinate a resting place for these fine people.🕊 Enormous thank you for the respect & care that you give to all of these individuals and their families; and, for the time & effort in researching the information; and, for all the hard work you guys put into these videos.

[@Harvest1966]

Happy Sunday Arthur!!! I was very happy to see your visit of this cemetery. It doesn't have the beautifully manicured lawns of the more famous memorial parks, but those interred there played a vital role in the entertainment industry. Hattie McDaniel's story always makes me so sad...such a great lady. I was shocked about Edmund Gwenn. I love Miracle On 34th Street and THEM! He was such a class act. Thank you very much for visiting this location and sharing it with us. It is sad to think that even though there is a drought, they couldn't try to at least clean up the grounds a little. 😞 Hope you have a wonderful Sunday and I will see you next time! Take care. 😊

[@sachmobeemweaver5245]

[@loricooperbishop]

I was excited to stumble across this video, as I'd recently heard Jean Hagen (Singin' in the Rain, etc.) was inurned in Chapel of the Pines. A photo request is in place on Find a Grave. I wonder if hers are some of the ashes that are unclaimed? That was heartbreaking to see, but a wonderful video as always.

[@rosiebarnard332]

It's sad to hear of so many unclaimed ashes 😞

[@LadyJay114]

Unfortunately it was common back then. Families keep in touch these days because of technology. But back then, all you had was letters via mail and not everyone had a telephone. Also, when many people went to Hollywood they left their families & relatives behind.

[@CleoPhoenixRT]

@@LadyJay114 That makes sense. So hard to imagine tho. Our families pester us on fb everyday now. 🙄

[@ginnas944]

Sadly it still happens. We had no idea that my Grandfathers ashes were at the funeral home for 22 years. The funeral home never got in touch with my Mother. He was a vet so a group just found his ashes and buried them. They said more than 22,000 remains. Mostly Veterans

[@Chutney1luv]

I wonder if their families are still alive or if they ever ...cared? 🙄

[@beantowner76]

Reading up on Edmund Gwenn it seems he had no family to claim his ashes as he was married and divorced early in his life and never remarried or had children. He was a British citizen so he probably had no other family here in the states. H.B. Warner was also a British citizen but he did have three children so I'm less certain on why he doesn't have a marker. They both played roles in my two favorite Christmas movies. Gwenn as Kris Kringle in a Miracle on 34th Street and Warner as Mr. Gower, the pharmacist, in It's a Wonderful Life. I think it's a good idea to start a fund to get these people the markers they deserve.

[@HollywoodGraveyard]

We're looking into making that happen, and will keep everyone posted.

Another superb effort, Mr. Dark. I believe that the actor Herbert Marshall is one of those in storage at Chapel of the Pines. His work was so wonderful, would it be possible to remember him in a future edit? He has a surviving grandchild and great grandchildren, so I don't know why he remains unclaimed and uninterred. What a great he was. No one that great deserves to be forgotten.

[@TakahashiTakami]

I just found your channel a few days ago and I am loving it. I've always had a fascination with actors and actresses of people who were born way before my time and what their lives were like during those time periods. I learn a lot about these famous actors and actresses, which most I don't know who they are, but some I have heard of their names. I find it sad that some of the famous actors and actresses are forever sealed away in that chapel never seeing the light of day. I hope their spirits found peace.

[@Ken-dv9uf]

Bravo Arthur... Bravo!!!! Another Excellent presentation & Film history lesson.... Thanks for making my Sunday!!!

[@Figgatella]

It’s sad the cemetery doesn’t place these ashes for these famous actors. Surely there is a fund to do this? It’s horrific. All they care about is money and the cemetery isn’t even kept up. Love your videos Mr. Dark!💖💕💖💕💖💕💖

[@HollywoodGraveyard]

Thanks Tamara! In defense of the cemeteries, they have no say as to what can be done with remains. Legally, only the family, next of kin, or the individual themselves can make that call. And because of the drought here in LA, Angelus has made the tough decision to limit lawn watering, for conservation.

Sad to think of "Santa Claus" and "Mr. O'Hara" being stuck in the basement. ☹️

[@noelmaldonado2903]

TheGable101 yeah hopefully one day they’ll get a proper burial

[@TravelingBibliophile]

The actors who portrayed Santa Claus, Mr. Gower & Uncle Billy (Mr. O’Hara) were all in the twilight of their careers at the time of their deaths. It looks as though Edmund Gwenn (Santa Claus) had no known children and had divorced back in the UK 42 yrs before he died. While the rest of his immediate family in England would likely have learned of his passing they likely never claimed his ashes because they probably thought he had made arrangements. Thomas Mitchell (Uncle Billy/ Mr. O’Hara) seems a little more sad, he remarried his first wife with whom he had a child after being apart/divorced for 6 years, so in total they were together 41 yrs (until his death). It is possible that he died intestate, he had children with both of his wives and that both kids, who would have been adults at the time, fought over the estate and his ashes for such a long time that like the real case that inspired Dickens’ Bleak House the lawyers ate up all the money so there was nothing left to pay to get the remains out. HB Warner (Mr. Gower/ Jesus) had been divorced from his second wife for 24 years at the time of his death. They had three children who were all adults at the time of his death but it could be that they were estranged from their father and that is why they didn’t claim the ashes. It would be interesting what it would cost to have them interned in one of the vaults there. Perhaps fans of Miracle on 34th Street, It’s A Wonderful Life or Gone With The Wind could crowdfund to do it.

[@Chutney1luv]

Yeah! They probably had no family left alive; who cared!

Arthur, yet another excellent piece of work. Thank you. I, and I am certain many others, find your work compelling, sensitive and tasteful. I appreciate the fact that you will visit not only the household-name actors, but lesser-known, more obscure performers. To give these persons a little remembrance and honour is a great and kind thing. (It also serves as rather an education in the history of Hollywood celebrity). I hope, as you mention in your pinned comment, that funds can be raised to properly inter some of those actors forgotten by time, alone without family and deserving of a proper memorial. Again, my thanks for what you do.

[@Satine8541]

Thks for these tours, they are absolutely fabulous. I hate what happened to Hattie McDaniel, she was a classy woman. I also find it sad that some of the other actors, Edmund Gwynn have no niche and no one or group has had their ashes put in niche of their own. How can we do this to an iconic Santa Clause? Luv your vids.

[@RaymondHng]

6:53 On the headstone is only Anna May's mother's name, Lee Toy, written in English. Her mother's Chinese is written in the center. The family name is 黃. Anna's Chinese name, 柳霜 (Cantonese: _Lau Seong_ ), is on the right. Unlike most headstones of Chinese people in American cemeteries where there is a picture of the deceased, there are no portraits on this headstone.

[@ShinbiBelldandy]

Normally I enjoy your videos & while I did like this as always, I can't help but feel incredibly sad. So many forgotten stars & the cemetery looks horrible. Hollywood is always pouring money into tourist attractions & other projects to draw people in, they need to invest & fix this cemetery. People who helped Hollywood become what it is today are there but they're resting in what looks like a vacant lot. This is a disgrace! Who owns the cemetery? Maybe we all should start a gofundme page to get the grounds fixed up & fix the mausoleums? All of those unclaimed stars should be given courtesy plots or niches & be buried respectfully, not locked away in a dusty store room. If they have no living family, can't someone sponsor them?

[@HollywoodGraveyard]

In Angelus Rosedale's defense, because of the drought they have opted to limit watering the lawn for conservation. And at Chapel of the Pines, as I understand it, some of the stars in vaultage wanted it that way. But yes, others who went unclaimed or who don't have next of kin can possibly be sponsored and moved and placed in a niche, as happened with Mae Busch and Ann Sheridan.

[@vmj255]

ShinbiBelldandy I was just thinking about all of those deceased with no family and/no means for a proper interment. Maybe we (meaning Arthur, 😉) could start a program where people could “adopt a deceased star”, like other programs where people adopt a homeless animal or a mile of highway to look after. Anyone interested could donate to their favorite until enough money is raised for a proper burial. (If I lived closer, I would love to start a program like this, but I would be happy to donate, if I knew that the money was being used for it’s intended purpose.) What say you, Mr. Dark?

[@ShinbiBelldandy]

Oh wow, thank you for replying!! :) I don't live on the west coast, so I wasn't aware of the water restriction (for a few days, we were practically underwater! Maybe we should send it their way!). This also explains the overgrown plants. That's understandable. I can also understand some of the stars wanting to be unclaimed. I guess after decades of entertaining & being in the limelight, they wanted to go away quietly.

[@ShinbiBelldandy]

I second that idea!! :)

Hollywood Graveyard Yep. Certain parts of L.A. can't water the lawns at certain times of the year or during droughts. It's just the way it is. Also, unless you water daily, most of L.A. would look rather brown in the summer. It's incredibly hot and dry here from May through October.

Great video. Really liked some of the lesser known stars highlighted today. How does one go about getting a place for some of these forgotten stars? Scarlet O Hara’s dad and Santa Clause really should be taken care of.

Valuable history lessons on these cemetery tours

To be More specific, H.B. Warner played Mr.Gower on its a wonderful life. He and all the others definitely didn’t don’t deserve to be locked in a basement

Margaret Dumont's ashes are stored in the Chapel basement. She played the straight woman for the Marx brothers. Elsa Lanchester (The Bride of Frankenstein) was cremated there but ashes were scattered.

Another beautifully produced tribute/tour. Look forward to watching these here in the UK

I hope you are planing some kind of scheme to give honor to all those stars that were cremated but are not displayed for whatever reason. Thomas Mitchell and Edmond Gwenn were two of my very favorites
