FAMOUS GRAVE TOUR - San Diego #2 (Anita Page, Victor Buono, etc.)

[@bwolper]

"And that concludes our tour," are the saddest words.

[@bernardbrown5336]

Absolutely! I agree!

[@ervina02]

Yes!!! i agree

[@mangot589]

💯!

[@BudTCat]

Several years ago, I was a lot like Arthur Dark in that I toured cemeteries throughout the country, marveling at the famous grave sites I could find. I still believe I am the only Heisman Trophy voter who has visited the grave site of trophy namesake John W. Heisman, who is buried in an obscure cemetery in northeast Wisconsin. Five years ago, however, my wife died very suddenly and I lost any interest in touring cemeteries. Only when I discovered the Hollywood Graveyard series did I come to grips with my grief and begin to renew my appreciation for how we honor those who have gone before. Thank you, Arthur, for restoring my interest in these great places of remembrance.

[@lauraguida8482]

I'm sorry for your loss, Mark. Heisman is buried in Rhinelander, WI, in city-owned, Forest Home Cemetery, which was his second wife's hometown. If you ever get a chance to get to New Orleans, the above-ground cemeteries are so interesting. Lots of large ornate mausoleums - just do not go at night! Sketchy area.

[@hazard_fuzion4982]

sorry for your loss live a good life

[@BudTCat]

@@lauraguida8482 I have been to New Orleans many times and the only thing better than a guided nighttime tour of the cemeteries there is a midnight beignet at Cafe du Monde.

So so so much respect to the people who made Raymond Thornton Chandlers last wishes possible. Now he can lay to rest with his Cissy!! Thank you!!❤️

[@ronaldsteele6151]

I have a addiction and it's Hollywood Graveyard. Don't care how tired, busy or whatever else may be going on I stop to watch the video. This is another well made video and featured many I never heard of. Can't think of a better way to be introduced to past Hollywood celebrities than with these videos. Victor Bruno is one of the star's/actor's I remember best. His time on the Batman TV show as Long Tut was memorable. Again a fine job Mr. Dark.

[@Montana-3]

You definitely nailed it. Just found this channel. I’m supposed to be leaving town and have much to do still, yet here I sit watching HG! Be well.

[@LostCause-69]

I could go into that cemetery and not leave until I have read every headstone.

Ya I would like to know who they were and what their lives were like, how they died ect. I like to think that when we die and go to heaven(hopefully 😁) we can meet all sorts of people from different walks of life.

[@wmadamzzz]

I'm a senior citizen by several years and the only person here I recognized was Victor Buono, I think only because I'd seen him in the TV show of Batman, in the 60's. I admire the creator and producers of this for the amount of research etc for all these people.

[@shareenmeah5809]

Absolutely love this channel for 2 reasons 1 Satifies my death curiosity 2 I get a history lesson on all these famous people way before my time Keep em coming Mr Dark!

Arthur Dark has mastered the ability to produce substantive and satisfying videos that make his viewers feel good. It's as simple as that. I also remember Victor Buono from his guest appearances on "The Wild, Wild, West" and "Hawaii 5-0." Arthur Dark enriches all of our lives through his work. I am forever grateful. Stay safe and be well.

[@Benjey657]

It's astonishing how beautiful these graveyards are.

[@jec1ny]

I remember Victor Buono for a very sympathetic portrayal of president William H. Taft in the TV mini-series Back Stairs at the White House. Most folks have probably never heard of Taft. Buono played him well and quite realistically.

Oooo I’m going to look it up!!

Faci o muncă pe cinste care necesită mult efort fizic și psihic plus că trebuie să suporți cheltuielile de deplasare și echipament peste tot unde mergi. Tu chiar meriți un OSCAR, dar unul pentru fiecare episod făcut. ❤ Ești incredibil de bun omule. Foarte documentat și nu lași istoria să se piardă.

Hello Arthur...loved, as I know you do, all the stunning stained glass in those cemetery’s...amazing work. Arthur, reading the names on some of those grave stones, they didn’t tally with the people we had known..only used to their stage names, so I commend you yet again for all your hard work researching these people, and where they rested. You even found some actors graves that didn’t even have a marker! Which I was very impressed by. I have never heard of Amelita Galla-Curci, the opera singer before, but am a great fan of La traviata, so hearing her sing her part in that just made my jaw drop! I have never heard such purity in such high notes ever before, and I’m so sad that she died before I was born, 😢. So many of these people gave so much to us, and entertained us over the years, some I’ve never heard of before, but your saying their names gave them chance to take a bow once again. Guiseppe’s music is perfect for the different themes of cemetery you visit too, so credit to him too (Thankyou Guiseppe! 👏🏻👏🏻💐🙋‍♀️) and once again, all the shoe leather you must get through with your long walks really IS worth it to us Arthur. Thankyou again, for another really interesting visit. Best wishes from the U.K.! Helen 🙋‍♀️😘👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐
