FAMOUS GRAVE TOUR - Forest Lawn Hollywood #1 (Bette Davis, Liberace, etc.)

[@HollywoodGraveyard]

Apologies, I mispronounced Rod Steiger's name (it's "Sti-ger" not Stee-ger")

[@psychcorp4449]

Not to worry, Arthur. I noticed this even at my first viewing of this video. The same can be said regarding the pronunciation of Cecil B. DeMille (Hollywood Forever Cemetery). I have always heard the first name pronounced "Cecil" (with a soft "e") as opposed to "Cee-cil" (with a pure "e"). Rest assured, your tremendous contributions far outweigh any putative mispronunciation of any names.

[@MommaWolf1967]

It's pronounced Rod Steiger you said it correctly

[@dancingkay2604]

Hollywood Graveyard my mom is in that same area as Steiger/j.London😢🙏🏼...Mom was a huge fan of Liberace , we even saw one of his shows in Tahoe when I was little! Thanks 🙏🏼

[@MommaWolf1967]

Pat C Jeff Conaway was cremated his final resting place is unknown sadly Hope this helps to answer your question

[@Granny1375]

Broccoli is not like the vegetable, Bro- ccol- i (pronounced like e)

[@essayons7]

Now THIS is how this type of tour should be done - no gossip, no mugging for the camera, and little snippets of trivia or video to remind us of the person being viewed. Well done!

I can't imagine the time and effort and research it took the put these together. Bravo!

[@ellennewth6305]

I often stop by Forest Lawn and bring flowers to Andy Gibb and his parents (also interred there). Actually, Andy had 3 consecutive number one hits: "I Just Want To Be Your Everything," "Love Is (Thicker than water)", and "Shadow Dancing" (#1 for SEVEN weeks in 1978). A feat which has not been accomplished by any other artist to this day!

[@melungeon55]

This is where my distant cousins, Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, are buried too. I had no idea that we were related until after their deaths I saw our shared family name of Herrman/Harman on 'Celebrity Ethnicity' for Carrie through Debbie's side. The Herrman/Harman family were Moravian Brethren initially fleeing persecution in Moravia/Bohemia to Germany. Our common ancestor, Heinrich Adam Herrman, came to Philadelphia from Germany via England in 1726. They later settled on the New River in Virginia. I live in Fullerton, CA, so I will visit their graves soon. RIP cousins.

[@psychcorp4449]

Your videos are superlative for many reasons. What impresses me the most is your excellent narration. It is a pleasure to view your videos because of your excellent tone of voice and vocabulary, excellent enunciation, informative content, and friendly demeanor. I look forward to viewing your next video of Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills covering the grave of Brittany Murphy. Might I recommend also producing videos of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery and the cemeteries in Culver City that also have the graves of many celebrities? Thanks again for your excellent work.

[@HollywoodGraveyard]

I appreciate the kind words. We will indeed be visiting all the cemeteries in the greater Los Angeles area, and beyond, so stay tuned!

fun fact when walter lance was looking for someone to do the voice of woody woodpecker his wife wanted to do it but he said no but when he heard the audio tape of his wife doing the voice he changed his mind right away and the rest is cartoon history

About once a year I indulge my morbid side and watch videos dealing with death. Having seen a few of these by now, I can say without reservation that yours are EASILY the best I've ever seen. I can usually call it a day after watching only one or two of these videos due to the amateurish nature of them but yours are so well made I watched them all and now I'm still wanting more. Thanks for sharing these videos and also for taking the time to pause on the graves of not so well known stars and production people. I'm sure these lost celebrities would appreciate your warmth and attention to detail and above all, the respect you show for them as people.

[@HollywoodGraveyard]

Thank you for the kind words, glad you found us!

[@momof3m965]

[@psychcorp4449]

Sheerkhanful: Your evaluation and comments are spot on. Indeed, perhaps the best metric for measuring the excellence of these videos is that they leave us wanting more. For me, not a day goes by that I must view several of these videos because of the excellence of the music, persons presented, and the wonderfully informative narration of Arthur Dark.

[@stephanievines8072]

The absolute best, no comparison

The Entertainment World lost a true gentle giant. Back in 2012. Actor Michael Clarke Duncan. Sadly. he passed away from a Heart Attack. He is still Remembered.

[@melissaupton2097]

There couldn't have been a better actor to portray John Coffey. His size made him seem menacing, but his sweet and tender spirit was so endearing. When he lifts his hands full of fallen leaves and smells them with such joy, it brings tears to my eyes. And the scene where he heals the warden's wife is my favorite.

I can remember that Mary Kay Bergman was the voice of Daphne Blake in three Scooby-Doo animated films - 'Zombie Island' in 1998, 'Witch's Ghost' in 1999, and 'Alien Invaders' in 2000. Only 38 years old when she committed suicide. Jeepers, how tragic life can be sometimes...

[@kevinbaker4241]

@@garycarpenter6433 According to the Wikipedia article on Mary Kay Bergman, she had bipolar and generalized anxiety disorders that she hid from everyone, including her fellow voice actors. She was not 'nuts', but she was afraid of not being able to do any more voice acting work as she aged. (She had nothing to worry about - look at June Foray, who was a voice actress for Warner Bros. well into her 90s. Frank Welker is 78 and still going strong as both Fred and Scooby-Doo today.)
