Silent Stars Graves / Deaths - Their Final Journeys - How They Died

[@MissAmiTimeLord]

The closest anyone will ever get to meeting a silent film star is visiting their grave... Thank you for making this tribute.

[@christopherTYJ]

Actually, I met Lillian Gish. I said hello, and she said hello. But she was very much alive.

[@sherrisiegel5787]

Beautiful music along with the tributes to these legends. We owe them so much respect for all they’ve done. We would not have the movies today without them. I hope they are never forgotten. RIP to all of them.

[@forgottenfilmchannel1194]

That makes 2 of us

[@judithhuling-cadieux1700]

Ahhhhhh Hollywoods hey day! The men were handsome, and the women, beautiful. Their eyes were so haunting...some were so sad...thank for a beautiful tribute!

[@MosaicRose99]

This is so moving. RIP to all in this video. I especially love the very beautiful Rudolph Valentino...

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

I have visited many of their graves. Still in awe. RIP.

[@traintyme]

beautiful tribute to a age gone by, and to the people who enriched our lives on the silver screen

[@nateforrester435]

One of the most, if not THE most, sensitive, informative and well done tributes to past actors/actresses.

[@Delnis30]

They will live forever in our hearts, then our children's hearts, ... forever Special thanks for Janet & Charles together in this tribute

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

I love the silents. God bless them all. Thank you for this wonderful tribute.

[@dragonfly1963100]

So glad to see this video. It was very beautiful and sad. It makes me sad that a lot of people today will never see these beautiful faces on a screen.

[@Coupal1]

Beautiful video! Not just informative, but with the music, photos and information provided, we realize that they lived full lives. This video captures all the emotion and makes us think about what they were really like. Lovely.

[@ncisducky4ever]

Beautiful, tasteful and respectful tribute! I've always preferred silent movies to "talkies" and such a shame that talented people like them are in such small numbers today.

[@MegRamseyWebseries]

Beautiful video. Many of these stars are forgotten...but not by classic film fans. Thank you! Good job!

[@nahnni]

A sublime presentation! There is something about the photography in that era that made not only actresses and actors look ethereal, but even one's own grandmother and everyone in between.

[@TakersMissy]

Beautiful - just beautiful ...like so many of these stars from the past. So tasteful and respectful with no sense of morbidity - thank you so much for making this. p.s. I can't resist saying I also loved how you showed Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton right at the first, my second and first favorite silent movie stars respectively. :-)

[@MontagZoso]

Beautiful, thank you for posting. Rest in Peace to you All.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Thank you for sharing this! Maybe more people will get to see and appreciate these wonderful actors!

[@JennaLeigh]

I know you posted this nearly 10 years ago, but there is a channel called Hollywood Graveyard that visits cemeteries and gives fascinating little bios on everyone buried in the cemetery they're visiting. You clearly have a fantastic knowledge of this topic, and the show is preparing to visit New York - venturing out of California for the first time. Perhaps you guys could collaborate in some way!

[@kellyrichards7591]

Love that channel ❤

[@fanaticat1]

I love the way they listed the actors, dates and causes of their passing, great job on that! Thanks for the memories!

[@RevPev13]

This was excellent. I think you did a wonderful job of photos and gravestones. Well done!

[@barrypearce898]

[@vixyvelasquez9898]

R.I.P baby Peggy , with her death the final chapter of the silent era has been closed . Ironic how she died in 2020. The start of the new 1920s😭😭

[@TakersMissy]

D.W. Griffith is buried about 15 yards from my best friend in Mt. Tabor Cemetery, just 25 miles east of here (Louisville, KY). He has a very nice gravesite as befitting another great pioneer of not just silent movies but movies for all time.

[@beatingbrahms]

That was a magnificent memorial to the greatest actors & actresses of all time. Beautifully haunting and saddening. It definitely brought a tear to my eye...

[@CullenRick]

Thank you for putting Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell together. I get the impression that they'd have liked that.

[@glennso47]

Richard Cullen Charles Farrell starred in My Little Margie a sitcom in the 50s costarring Gale Storm.

[@1dreamer1000]

beautiful and respectful. They were a part of an extraordinary era in film, your homage to their memory was heartfelt, to say the least. Thank you.

[@LIFEWITHEUGENE]

So incredibly sad how talent like this no longer exists.

[@timcallahan6368]

The detail you put into this is astonishing. Thank you for giving these pioneering greats one last flash on the screen.

[@finn-fredriklange6610]

What a wonderful testament to those great times with the start of a great era in the movie industry! Superbly presented with very suitable music. Bravo!

[@sew1835]

Very nice. Thank you for taking the time of putting this together. Nice to put faces with the names I have heard about. Thanks again!

[@hottmommy1]

There will never be stars like this .... RIP

[@GoldenSilents]

I miss this form of entertainment so much. People today don't have a clue what they are missing by dismissing the films and film stars of the past just because they are no longer with us.

[@lynnedanieli2792]

Beautifully put together. Music is perfect for your perfect tribute, well done you!! It brought a tear to my eyes.

[@Kittydoc90]

Well done! Coulda been a touch slower, but a great list, and presented in such a way that the information was given clearly and concisely. Thank you for posting this.

[@mrspriscillakat]

Thank you...very beautifully done...please make another there are so many more who could be remembered...early talkie stars , too

[@TheDorr71]

Very well done! For those who have not seen the movie "The Artist", I recommend it highly. Excellent movie, and it was silent! "We had FACES.."-Norma Desmond..

[@melissaupton2097]

This is one of the most beautiful, respectful and loving tributes I've ever seen. Thank you.

[@haiku1973]

David R. Purnell right man, beautiful

[@trackman174]

Very nice video. Sometimes I wish there was a time portal, so we could go back and meet these wonderful actors. But, we can see them on film for the most part and I’m good with that.

[@kevinbaker4241]

Lillian Gish is still remembered to this day in her hometown of Massillon, Ohio - a short road that connects Ohio Route 172 to Ohio Route 21 is named Lillian Gish Boulevard. There is also a small stone block structure (I don't know what it actually is) that has two paintings of her on it - one side features a scene from 'The Scarlet Letter', and the other has her portrait with her birth (1893) and death (1993) years next to it. She may be gone, but Massillon certainly hasn't forgotten her!

I find this video both calming and thought-provoking. As for me, toss my ashes to the wind on a, windy, sunny, summer day from a grassy hilltop overlooking the countryside in southern Indiana.

Beautiful music to go along with a touching tribute to all these silent stars.

[@akrenwinkle]

+Steve Paul A rare thing, music that's appropriate to the topic, and yes, beautiful. A lot of these star tributes... what are they thinking?

Lon Chaney was the Original Phantom of The Opera. I just thought I'd mention that. I love The Phantom!

[@andrewbrendan1579]

Thank you for the respect shown to those pictured here. How apropriate that silent stars are honored without a spoken word. I'd like to recommend "SIlent Star" by Colleen Moore and "Vamp--the Rise and Fall of Theda Bara" by Eve Golden, two stars who could handle fame and live long, positive lives. Louise Brooks wrote the excellent "Lulu in Hollywood". Glad to see Louise Brooks next to Clara Bow whom she admired and praised as an actress in both the spoken and written word.

[@jaysea32]

Makes me sad that people have to grow old and die. Give us these people back in their prime. Silent era was such a long time ago. These photos are haunting. I wonder what these people were like. I really hope they had a happy life.

[@trollingisasport]

death comes for everyone. he's heading your way now. who knows when he shall arrive

[@kenlee1416]

Most (over 75%) of all silent films made are lost forever and of those that exist, will also be lost if not properly stored and handled. That said, there are a few hundred silent films that have been released on DVD and Blu-Ray, so I guess these will be available to future generations for viewing, albeit a very selective group they will be.

[@Mynamesalexa]

A lot of them made a ton before income taxes.

[@gloriahanes6490]

@@kenlee1416 ....Many silent films are available on KZbin. My favorite silent screen star Clara Bow, the "It" girl.

[@kenlee1416]

@@gloriahanes6490 Yes I'm scouring YT for various films. In the late 2000s and early 2010s, I bought about 45 to 50 silent films on DVD, released by Warner Archives. I was really miffed when I later discovered these are ALL DVD-R, meaning the discs will probably deteriorate in my lifetime! So now, I'm looking to make some backups and one source is YT.

[@jenniferashley99]

It's a wonderful video and some of these deaths could be made into a movie like Robert Harron's death or John Bowers. Also, some lived such chaotic lives that it seemed they died very old but not really at all like Charles Ray..living life too full wears the soul out.

[@steve2474]

Thank you for a wonderful tribute. I think you included every major star and quite a few that I had not heard of before. There were some lesser known stars that didn't get included, but it would have been near impossible to include all of them. I'd be curious to know who the last four or five silent screen actors were to leave this world (not counting bit players or babies or little kids who appeared in films). I'm guessing that Anita Page was the last one. May God grant all of them eternal peace and rest. As a side note, my only criticism is that I kept having to hit the pause button in order to read the info presented for each star.

[@forgottenfilmchannel1194]

I agree really good totally enjoyed watching

[@rockisheaven]

in recent months i've gotten more interested in this period of film (harold lloyd's movies especially). someday i hope to pay my respects at some of their graves. it's the least i can do

[@danbam3411]

rockisheaven I had been watching more silent films and Golden age Hollywood films recently too. I have always been fascinated with them and the actors/actresses and the history behind it. Such a different time period. Stars like Charlie Chaplin, Lon Chaney, Gloria Stuart and Fay Wray only come once a lifetime and it does sadden me to be aware of that. How would a simple conversation be with them...to me, it also serves as a reminder to try and not take people and life for granted. Especially our loved ones. I'm 23 and I wish fellow millennials would be as open and engaging to appreciating such films. Damn, now I'M bummed out.

[@glennso47]

rockisheaven How would you pay respect if the person had their ashes scattered at sea? Or the one woman who had ashes scattered over New York City?

Not sure if anyone else made a comment about the Barrymore's, just in case though, John , Lionel, and their sister Ethel were born in my hometown of Philadelphia Pa. They lived for a time on Arch St. There is a hotel in Philadelphia called the Hyatt that had " The Ethel Barrymore" room. Also John was buried in Mount Vernon Cemetery initially, but some years later his remains were moved to a California cemetery. I'm sure everyone knows that he is actress Drew Barrymore's grandfather.

I'm so glad you posted is production. This mellenial generation does not revere, honor or pay homage to people wh came long before us in this country. We use to but not anymore-part of the me, me, me selfish generation of the new century. We must keep people like Norma hearer, Clara Bowe, charlie Chaplin nd so many, many more alive and visible because they made the entertainment industry what it is today. Without them, Hollywood as we kow it now would never have existed. We need to keep reminding the world that those who came before us held this business toegther long before a new star was born every day on youtube. One day we'll be gone and we'll want someone in this world toremeber us. Thank you.

[@danbam3411]

Robbi D that's a bit unfair to judge all millennials thinking that way. I'm 24, a millenial, and I truly cherish and appreciate these stars and their works that shaped up our form of art cinema. I find it truly fascinating. It, indeed, breaks my heart to know how time moves on rapidly and before you know it, everyone (be it these wonderful stars or even us) become forgotten within time. Makes you feel like life is insignificant. Thinking of it now, it makes me greatly sad to know that I'll never know or get to meet the likes of Charlie Chaplin or Mary Pickford :(.

Is it possible to just go to Forest Lawn memorial in LA and wander around on the gardens looking for some of these graves?

[@93Vet]

+Little Whore Records Yes, you can, it is a public cemetery, but some celebs are keeping their resting places private. It is usually in a "locked" type of mausoleum or corridor where the general public cannot visit. One prime example is Jean Harlow. Died in 1937 at age 26. I went to her gravesite one Sunday in 2008. It is in Forest Lawn, Glendale, Ca. in the "Grand Mausoleum" I believe where several past celebrities are. Jean's "corridor" is virtually a who's who of the 30s or at least some of the people she knew and worked with. It is just beautiful. Literally, everywhere you step or look is marble with fine statuesqes and stained glass where the sun going down can reflect in. I saw it myself. The corridor has a chain across it so the general public cannot access it. You can go in there, if you are silent and sneaky, but respectful. I did and I went directly to Jean's marble grave, at the end of the corridor to the left. I stood inside it for a few minutes in awe. It said "OUR BABY" in Gold letters. The Gold lettering is fading. Her mother and herself are in there, but no one else. As I was walking steadily down the corridor to my Jean, I saw Marie Dressler's grave from "Dinner At Eight" and Red Skelton's I think. Jean's movie director is near her grave as well, but he also has a chain across it to his own mausoleum in the same corridor with a stained glass window for himself. Quite beautiful.
