FAMOUS GRAVE TOUR - Oakwood (Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire, etc.)

[@HollywoodGraveyard]

P.S. Adele Jergen's husband, Glenn Langan, was also an actor, seen in films like Dragonwyck, and The Amazing Colossal Man.

[@tarts456]

Hollywood Graveyard .. love your videod... please explain why someone would have an unmarked grave?

[@lacyrider72]

Hollywood Graveyard he also starred on radios , Mystery is my hobby.

[@TheresaPowers]

Dragonwyck was a great film.

[@kayleighkristianson4163]

I am a newcomer to this series and I find the whole thing brilliant the information. You could not ask for more this is the close I will ever get to famous people I am hooked and the host is great x

[@laurabrodianfreasberaha4125]

Arthur Dark: [@ 14:57] That is a beautiful tribute to my late husband Frank Kelly Freas. Thank you so very much. I'm glad that he is so fondly remembered.

[@janebergmann2489]

I so agree.

[@MyListen2me]

I have now watched a little over half of the installments of Hollywood Graveyard. As a taphophile, (A person who is interested in cemeteries, funerals and gravestones), I am finding them highly entertaining, enlightening and informative. I find it heartwarming that some of the biggest stars of their times have such unassuming graves - like John Wayne, Frank Sinatra and others. I am also impressed that Mr Dark has even found some of these graves as it seems a lot of the early stars are buried under their own names, not their stage names or in unmarked graves. The amount of research he has put into these short films is part of what makes them so interesting to me.

[@franceselainethurston1606]

Ginger Rogers had the best, most beautiful gowns.

[@Moose-sg3qp]

You sir are doing a good for humanity by giving these people their dignity. Thank you for educating us on these special people and their time in history. Thank you Arthur✌️

[@gill426]

Oh God, that had me all emotional! I'm such a big fan of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, I cried when you showed their graves! I'm from Germany but one of my biggest goals ever is to fly over to the States and visit their graves and lay down some flowers. I'm tearing up again just thinking about it. :') I'm so happy that they're buried close to each other and can find their rest together. They sure had a very special bond and I'm so grateful for all the amazing movies they left us. Thank you, Fred&Ginger, I love you, I know you have a wonderful time dancing in heaven! Thank you for this video, it was great and meant so much! :) ♡

[@pacoleon8451]

Dude you make cemeteries look like Disneyland..good work, you have my attention👀

[@Alvaro19721000]

True...

[@Moebian73]

I know, I was watchin one of these video's, my son asks...wth are you watchin dad (I have my headphones to listen, they only see the graves & think (OMG, how morbid.) I had to explain to him & my wife how unmorbid these videos actually are. Compared to some of vids on a channel called THEREAPERFILES...those vids are way more morbid, these are awesome vids.

[@trumancapote9097]

I would listen to this dude read the phone book. He has a voice that would have sounded great on the radio if they listened to the radio anymore.

[@gabrielleelliott7388]

His voice is classic

[@EN-mh6sr]

@@gabrielleelliott7388 Totally agree.

[@AnnieBooker]

I agree. I love the music too

[@maidenlord6663]

Ginger was one of the most talented people in Hollywood she matched Fred's dance moves step for step and she did it in heels I love watching their movies

[@davidsebaoun4637]

She was the greatest ever and was not a dancer by trade !

[@mervviscious]

my favorite movie of hers is Bachelor Mother..

[@bobconnor6164]

I’ve been binge watching your videos. I thought I was the only one who found cemeteries fascinating! Keep up the good work.

[@dannygayler90]

Who can ever forget Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire ! May they R I P !

[@lovethosebudgies]

Somehow I expected the graves of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers to be more elaborate.

[@msdelle22]

Me too I'm shocked

[@pangetko22]

Me too

[@suzannenoa9736]

We have gone to several of the ones he featured, and, believe it or not, that is overwhelmingly the norm. Very few are lavish- most you would EASILY miss- rarely you find those like Tyrone Power or Bob Hope, who has a whole section of the grounds just for him. Very first stone I found, on my first trip was Dan Duryea. I was looking for Freddie Prinze, which I never found...speaking of which, HEADS UP: take your phone and use these posts to direct you... Employees are NOT allowed to tell you where anyone is

[@suzannenoa9736]

Fred and Ginger are among very few who while connected in life, wind up interred in the same place, or close by, even if they are blood relatives. I think Astaire, Bette Davis and the Barrymores are among the rare interred with or close to associates / family members. Honestly, I’m more inclined to believe Astaire/ Rogers being in close proximity was unplanned

[@LeakenaDoll]

I thought the same also🧐

[@MsCharley13]

Lovely to see the final resting places of Fred & Ginger. Your videos are so enjoyable. You should come to the UK and do a special some time!

[@karenhenry1233]

Happy Easter & Happy Passover. I really enjoy these tours. It's nice to remember these folks and all the joy they brought to our lives through their entertainment. I love that Fred & Ginger are so close together. I never get tired of watching their films or watching them dance together!! Fred had other partners, and they were terrific dancers. But there was never the magic that was there when Fred and Ginger danced together. Thanks again!

[@fohpono8884]

Thank-you for showing where Ginger Roger's grave is located. Next time I'm in LA I will surely go and pay my respect and admiration to one of the all time great actresses ever!

[@gill426]

She's amazing, you're so lucky that you can just make a trip there! :)

[@mrbanditoxyz]

14:56: Frank Kelly Freas - he was a fantastic person as well as a great SF artist. I was honored to have him as a friend. I only know his second wife, Laura Brodian Freas Beraha. She and Kelly made a wonderful pair.

[@grettabewitched5409]

I love all the Hollywood Graveyard tours you do, it makes me feel very nostalgic. My gran was born in 1920 (sadly passed away last year) She saw so many of the great names in their movies when they first came out, and I was lucky enough to be told about so many of these great stars, it was always a pleasure listening to her telling me about them when they showed the awesome movies from the 30's and 40's on tv.

[@joane5777]

Just Celt I just had to say how much my grandmother shared her movie experiences. She was born in 1901-1990. Brought up in the roaring twenties with all the flappers and silent movies. She lived in NYC and got to see so many Broadway shows. You gave me a wonderful memory of my Gram and all of her terrific stories!! Thank you~ 🌹

[@grettabewitched5409]

My Gran brought me up here in England so I think a lot of things she loved from that time rubbed off on me, one of my favourite things to do was to get out a book she had from the early 60's listing most of the Hollywood greats from the beginning of the 20th Century onwards, I'd open a random page and say a name, she was always able to tell me something about them.

[@joane5777]

Just Celt Wasn't that such a wonderful experience?? Then my Mum knew everything about the movies and stars in the 1940's and 50's. I love the channel TCM we have here in the states. Classic movies!! And all of the songs the two of them taught me~ Brilliant times during the beginning of modern movies!! 🌹 Joan

[@lajuramentada1879]

My loved Fred Astaire..and Ginger!!! Thank you very much...

[@lordbison]

Another Classic Video

[@jsncreativeservices5847]

I love how we can learn so much watching your videos. Thank you.

[@HaloZ1012]

Hi there, I’m one of Ginger Rogers cousins and is like to appreciate you doing this and remembering her!

[@davidturnbole4395]

I am thoroughly enjoying the backstory on each of the burials!

[@Reader1984]

Interesting Fact:Oakwood Memorial Park was the original resting place of Hogan's Heroes star, Actor Robert E Crane(AKA Bob Crane).He was buried here after his funeral mass at St.Paul The Apostle Catholic Church in Westwood on July 5,1978.He was moved to Westwood Village Memorial Park in Los Angeles,California in 1999,by the request of his widow,Sigrid Valdis who died in 2007 and is buried alongside him.

[@jacquelinemitchell7148]

Done with respect for Hollywood golden era ❤

[@davidlape6273]

Happy Easter! Love and appreciate Hollywood Graveyard! Blessings❤

[@ShinbiBelldandy]

Happy Easter!! Ginger & Fred (as she would have wanted it said) are the epitome of professionalism & class. They did so much together but supposedly they hated each other & didn't get along well. LOL I miss the days where if you had beef with someone, you kept it to yourself & did the job. Now studios put out rumors purposely to drum up publicity.

[@resmecatt8235]

I remember a comment she made when someone was praising Fred Astaire's dancing. You think he's great, I did in heels and backwards!

[@meighanlynne]

I was surprised to read his favorite dance partner was Rita Hayworth.

[@Azzeyman25]

They had lots of tension behind the scenes with each other. She wanted to be a single serious actress and resented the song and Dance stuff she did with Fred. She came back for one more team up in the late 40's but that was for money nothing else. Her and Fred never really made up before his death.

[@Sub-lt5yd]

They never hated each-other.. its nothing but a false information.

[@arnepianocanada]

Not 'hated' I think but strictly business relations e.g. never to each other's homes. Hey, media B.S. was in the past too, e.g. How to Marry a Millionaire - Betty Grable 'versus' Marilyn Monroe, battle of the blondes - except they won the war by being supportive friends.

[@cesarrasec33]

Just priceless this touch of humor at the end of each video! Thanks for your fine work.

[@libertygiveme1987]

That's so SAD about Gloria Graham passing young like that!!!! I mean, she was QUITE THE COMEDIC ACTRESS, I always felt!!!! Thank-You Arthur for taking the time to show us ALL of these 'Cemeteries,' and giving us some History to BOOT!!!!

[@rexriggr647]

I always wanted to know where Ginger&Fred were buried...Nice work Arthur Dark💖

[@puddysue]

And Ginger had to do all the steps that Fred did, but she had to do them all backwards and in high heels. :)

[@idjster]

Just a note to say how much I enjoy your channel videos and how pleased I am that you take such a respectful approach to the lives and careers of all these entertainers. Great work!

[@ebonylady]

Yes! Happy Easter and Passover to everyone.

[@LARSAKER-tr1mw]

You got me. Wasn’t expecting the April fool at the end 🇺🇸 Thanks for the wonderful videos👍

[@Vanny1129]

I’ve waited for awhile for a new episode of Hollywood Graveyard!! I love them so interesting!! Keep them coming 👍🏼🙏🏽

[@SelaRose]

I only recently found this channel and just finished watching all the videos today. This has hand down become one of my favorite channels on KZbin. I've always had a fascination with graveyards and this channel is exactly what I was looking for; the resting places of several of my favorite celebrities that is not only interesting in the facts provided but also handled with absolute dignity and respect. Bravo to all the work you've done so far and I'm greatly looking forward to future videos.

[@Reader1984]

HAPPY EASTER.I really enjoy watching you videos and I am a current subscriber to this channel.Your videos are truly the best cemetery tour I've ever seen.Keep them coming.May God bless and keep you and make his face shine upon you.

[@patward2981]

What a lovely tribute to both Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers

[@Harvest1966]

Happy Easter Arthur (a few hours late that is)! Thank you so much for sharing this one with us!!! I've been wondering where Fred and Ginger were buried and now I know! That is so cool that they are in the same cemetery. I was raised on their movies...still can't get enough!!!! My favorite is the story of Vernon and Irene Castle. They were brilliant in it! Loved your little April Fool's joke about the grapes!!! As always, a job well done my dear!!! Take care and I'll see you next time! 😊👍👍👍👍👍

[@pamelabowcock5305]

I just cant get enough of this stuff i love it , you do awsome work

[@jodywoodruff6473]

Happy Easter! Ive always wanted to dance like Ginger Rogers.

[@timw8228]

Wonderful !!! The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences should give you an award for the memorable work you have done. Very few people know about the individuals you give tribute to. Thanks ! I watched "Flying Down to Rio" the other evening. Astaire and Rogers what a pair.

[@susandelacruz706]

Great presentation! He always impresses me with his cool voice that makes me want to listen all the time. Delicate topic but handled with respect.

[@JOYOUSONEX]

Fred Astaire also played a dramatic role in "On The Beach" one of my favorite flicks. But yes he was the ultimate dancing icon.

[@marksullivansullybcs8340]

Brilliant.......

[@MissAshley-jq9gl]

Arthur, you're very personable and welcoming your channel is amazing filled with great knowledge.

[@cgtravers]

Arthur, you are adorable. I took Kari's tour of Hollywood Forever this past Wednesday. My first time there and I knew nothing about Kari Bible prior to the tour. Later, in looking for what might be online about her, I discovered you and your very well-produced videos. You are offering such an invaluable service. I have a great interest in where many of these folks remains remain but find it very hard to locate them. I live next to Woodlawn and finding E.C. Segar (for example) was nearly impossible for me. And you know that Woodlawn is not that big. The task becomes exponentially more difficult when faced with Forest Lawn's various expanses. I have spent a lot of time searching those grounds - often to no avail. And your updates are delightful too. I was anxious to see Don Rickles marker after his year unmarked and, of course, you provided a pic. The style of your videos is just right. One gets a real sense of the scope of the various cemeteries which is something I value. And your graphics/media are so well chosen and presented, not to mention Giuseppe's effective and well-made music. You know what you are doing and it shows. I subscribed to your Patreon. I look forward to your future work...

[@HollywoodGraveyard]

Thanks!

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers are my absolute favourite film stars of all time, they just can't be beat

[@donnerdonner315]

Happy Easter 🐰 and April Fool's 🍇 Mr. Dark!!! I just LOVE your channel....I always learn something new every time!!! My favorite fact was the last one with Frank Kelly Freas... I had no idea his painting was the one Queen used for News of the World!!! When I saw it, I recognized it instantly..since I am a huge fan of the band!!! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to getting all the history and facts about each celebrity!!! 😘😍😘YOU ROCK!!!! 🐰🍇🐰🍇🐰

[@RetroBBGiGi]

Absolutely love your videos! The best! Hoping to visit some of these cemeteries soon!

[@SugaStarr]

I’m addicted to these videos! I fall asleep to them.

[@TheNocturnalDude]

Thanks for these dude. Me and my mom love watching them and learning things about older celebrities

[@donnajellerson5886]

Thank you, dear Arthur, for another wonderful video! And you had me at the end, as I watched and wondered what other grapes there could be! Ha!

[@Ferreal92]

A bit surprising to see such humble resting places for the world’s brightest stars. I suppose being fondly remembered by millions for eternity is worth much more than grand monuments.

[@petergerritgroen3157]

Look on Italien grave yeards ...

[@carlosalbertomantillagarci9836]

Happy Easter Day Man! Many memories of Fred and Ginger and their dancing numbers. And I tell you one thing about the character wich voice Anthony Magro did it in the "Family Addams" show. While in english version you call him "Cousin Itt", in the Latin Spanish doubling he was known like the name "Tío Cosa". He made me laugh too much. Greets from Peru...

[@sharonrynes2433]

Happy Easter Mr. Dark! I do so love these tours and the trips down Memory Lane! Thank you so much for what you do!

[@lratchison64]

Thank you so much for these tours. I love the Hollywood history and research you do!

Another great presentation! Very sad to hear Stephen Boyd's life was cut short. He was a fabulous actor and every bit earned that Golden Globe for playing the best antagonist as Messala in Ben-Hurr! I enjoy watching that movie over and over! Gloria Grahame was quite a hottie back in her day!

[@KimmyM72]

Dang the videos don’t be long enough

[@Bduh2]

Of all the video's posted here on KZbin regarding Grave Tours, each and everyone of them should use yours as the standard of how to present their videos to the public. As one who has been drawn to visit graveyards and pay my respect to those who came before me, it is exceptionally wonderful to watch your videos without actually travelling to all these famous and/or infamous resting places. Thank you for your passion and your posting. /bow.
