Hollywood Forever Cemetery's Famous Citizens

[@RedneckTaZ]

Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle did not rape Virginia Rappe. He was charged in very flimsy evidence and went through two mistrials until he was found not guilty in a third trial. In the jury's verdict in the third trial the jurors went so far as to include in their findings that: "Acquittal is not enough for Roscoe Arbuckle. We feel that a great injustice has been done him. We feel also that it was only our plain duty to give him this exoneration, under the evidence, for there was not the slightest proof adduced to connect him in any way with the commission of a crime. He was manly throughout the case and told a straightforward story on the witness stand, which we all believed. The happening at the hotel was an unfortunate affair for which Arbuckle, so the evidence shows, was in no way responsible. We wish him success and hope that the American people will take the judgment of fourteen men and woman who have sat listening for thirty-one days to evidence, that Roscoe Arbuckle is entirely innocent and free from all blame." Arbuckle was charged with having alcohol at the party Rappe was at (during Prohibition) and the cost of lawyers for the trials broke him financially.

Yes, and Virginia had what we call now, "Pre-existing conditions". I am not sure if there was such a medical term when she died in 1921. Nonetheless, Arbuckle was blacklisted in Hollywood and never really recovered from this trial.

[@jerrymoore838]

@jbenziggy @HistoryHunters I came to say the same thing. Really wish Jeff would read these comments, do the research and amend this video to accurately state the factual record. Its a shame to see Arbuckle perpetually labeled for a false accusation that devastated his reputation, career and life

It's essential to have an exit strategy in place when kids enter show biz. Keep that exit strategy in the conversation all the time. It's a segway into their future prevents a cold shock. Kids careers end and work in the TMZ usually dries up around age 14 to 16.

[@sandraponce9895]

Hi Teresa..I know it's been a while since you commented here. My mother was also a big fan of Tyrone. When he died my mother was heartbroken. My mother is very shy but told my father she wanted to go to his funeral. The three of us went and I remember my mother hiding behind a palm tree at the cemetery peeking at everything going on. My mother is 93 now but still remembers everything about this day like it was yesterday. I don't think many people remember who Tyrone Power is but my mother and I will never forget.

[@jerrykecken8458]

You implied The Arbuckle had something to do with the death of Virginia Rappe. This is totally false. Virtually the only indisputable facts seem to be that on September 5, 1921, there was a party at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco where alcohol was in abundance (despite Prohibition laws) and that both Arbuckle, then age 33, and a woman named Virginia Rappe were in attendance. Then, at some point during the revelry, Arbuckle and Rappe were briefly in the same hotel room together. But when Arbuckle left the room, Rappe remained lying on the bed “writhing in pain.” Four days later, she was dead of a ruptured bladder. Another partygoer soon accused Fatty Arbuckle of raping and killing her and he was tried three different times for those crimes. But the first two trials ended with hung juries and the third ended with an acquittal. The partygoer later recant his statement. Whatever happened that night, Virginia Rappe’s condition had still not improved three days afterward. It was then that she was taken to a hospital where doctors originally thought she had alcohol poisoning from the bootleg liquor. But as it turned out, she had peritonitis resulting from a ruptured bladder likely caused by her pre-existing condition.

[@lacertagaming8725]

Unfortunately, Hollywood Forever's policy is that if you want to film there you have to get permission and pay them as well. It is quite an unscrupulous act from them profiting from the people buried there who already paid them (handsomely I'm certain) to be laid to rest there.

Should have bribed the so called security guard. It's the way of Hollywood.

Helps them keep the place nice as well. Costs a lot to maintain these places.

Yes but it is private property and people who go there and put it on KZbin are also making money off of their private property.. so it's only right and fair that they go through the proper channels before they record for commercial use

Jeff, I think it took me about an hour to find Peter Lorrie's grave. I've been to Hollywood Forever Cemetery probably about a dozen times and only once were they complete Nazis about me taking pictures. All the other times they didn't care. The most notorious celebrity Cemetery against photography and filming is holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City. I've been kicked out of there once. Jordan The Lion and Adam The Woo have both been kicked out of there for filming. However I think Westwood Memorial Park is the best celebrity Cemetery to visit. They don't care if you take pictures or film as long as your respectful.

[@Lilaa86]

Really? I don’t know about this.. I’m in shock. If I want to do a pic o a small video I have to ask and pay? Hollywood graveyard channel how can do his vlog? Paying the cemeteries ? I can’t understand, who watching me in the moment that I do a pic with the phone for example? I don’t think there is a Costant and frequently security around the cemetery ... 🧐🤔 here in Italy this cemetery law don’t exists.. and we have also many many and lots of artists of music culture history and movie ...
