Clarification: After Curly left the Stooges, brother Shemp filled the third role until his death, then Joe Besser joined the group. But Shemp and Joe Besser were their own characters. When Joe DeRita later joined the group, he was made to be a "Curly" archetype, hence "Curly Joe." So while Joe DeRita didn't immediately replace Curly, he was the next to "play" Curly. I could have been more clear on that point.
Hollywood Graveyard I heard that one of the owners of this cemetery was burying people on top of each other. It wasn’t famous people I don’t think. And at the portal the folded wings there was a crash.
One of my favorite early memories! Curly hosting the three Stooges TV show, he would look down in front of the camera as if to look right at me! Sitting on the floor right in front of the television.
I agree, compared to the other Hollywood Cemetery which is gorgeous and very clean. This cemetery looks so sad and obviously not looked after. I wonder why it isn't looked after?
My big sister died just after Oliver Hardy and it buried about 50 feet away from where he's buried. She was 11 yrs old. We use to visit her gravesite multiple times a year. Thumb's UP.
I have a brother buried there. He died as an infant, before I was around. Learning more about this cemetery is interesting. Seems big brother is in good company.
TheOMGsee it is really disgusting how some cemeteries just let their graves either break down or just get completely lost in time. Everyone deserves to be remembered, so their graves should be treated well.
What a shame this cemetery doesn't take pride in caring for it's lawns. I found it disturbing to see it so run down and some of the stones covered in dirt and overgrown weeds and grass.
60toodles When everyone in your family is dead and gone -who will take care of the graves then? That's why it's called "perpetual care". Apparently this cemetery doesn't practice that.
@@cynthiathomas5443 That's why you pay $$$$ for cemetery plots. The lawn in that place looks like the weed and dirt backyard I had as a child. Dandelions are pretty, but the prices the family paid shouldn't include a weed jungle.
I first saw Gail Russell in 1944's 'The Uninvited' with Ray Milland. What a tragic beauty she was. I am shocked to see the condition of this cemetery. It looks more like a Potter's Field than a cemetery where celebrities are buried.
The scene of the orange clouds in the sky behind the fountain that you used at the beginning and end of this video: very cool. The jet airliner flying over your shoulder while you were walking: very inventive and demonstrative of your continued situational awareness. Your closing remarks about the dead walking the green carpet: very cognitive. Your artistic expression combined with your future cemetery locations is greatly anticipated. For instance, I look forward to your production of Hillside Memorial Park which will undoubtedly include the tomb of Al Jolson (with the cascading waterfall in front). Thank you for another superlative production.
This shows why I really hate flat grave markers. Even in well kept cemeteries (which this is clearly not) they tend to settle and sink into the ground. And they suffer from the elements, being walked on and lawn mowers rolling over them. And of course, they are simply boring.
Where my family is buried all I have to do is go into the office and ask them to raise the head stones. Check and see if they do that if you know anyone who has had to settle for one.
Jon-Erik Hexum was an 80's actor who died in 1984 by self accidental shooting in the temple while filming "Cover Up". He was in the film "Making of a Male Model" and also in the "Voyagers" series. His ashes was scattered in Point Dume but fans bought a cenotaph for him next to the Folded Wings. Fans chose that place because he use to live right there close to Kenwood Street in Burbank before he passed away.
What he did violated the first rule of gun safety- always assume it's loaded- that does not let the property master (propman) off the hook though, the weapon should only have been loaded just before the stunt, and he should never let it out of his control, even a blank- which was the load- can generate a force in the thousands of pounds, which is what fragmented Hexum's skull causing the fatal injury.
My grandparents are buried a couple over from Jimmy Cricket. I remember walking around this there as my Grandfather paid his respects finding graves of the stars.
I’ve been watching your videos for the past few days and I will have to say this cemetery seemed to be the saddest of places. It’s just so desolate compared to others that you have featured. It’s still a great video. You are a fantastic host.
Grass conditions are horrible. My family is buried there and I complain consistently about the watering & the grass weeds. There are many gravemarkers that are covered with overgrown grass and dirt. Cemetery sell you about how much they respect the memory of our loved ones but actually no respect in keeping their resting areas maintained. If you loved ones are buried here, Please complain. Our loved ones deserve better!
lady of saints over here it's left to family members to upkeep family graves. Do you have to pay a yearly rate there in that cemetery for upkeep? I'm just curious.
You are correct, lady of saints. My grandparents are buried there, and the grass had grown so long I couldn't find them. I complained to the office and they mowed the lawn. I am very sad at how this place has gone down.
My grandparents are buried at Glen Haven Memorial Park in Kagel Canyon and after watching this video it reminded me of that place. Dying grass, uneven grave markers and a very unkempt appearance. It's also the only cemetery I know of that is totally open with no gates, walls or fences.
Great vids and I find myself captivated on who you'll call out next! While Oliver Hardy did die of cardiac arrest (heart attack), in the years working up to his passing, he had nearly doubled in weight until his doctor told him "Lose the weight now or lose your life." So he search the Hollywood crowd and found a doctor who promised a radical treatment and in the first two months, he lost nearly 200 lbs....and that's when his heart basically said "I can't handle this anymore."
Really enjoying your video's love how you insert facts throughout. ..Surprising how all these people touch our lives then fade away...Thank you for giving them a voice Sir
i absolutely love your videos. They are very well researched and presented. I am looking forward to your next one. I think you are the one I need to tag along with on my next visit to L.A. You would be an amazing gravesite tour guide! Great job!
In the city I live there is the oldest cemetery in town, which is abandoned. Most cemeteries are poorly kept up as they have run out of space, no way to make money. Being buried is slowly going to be a thing of the past..sad, as there is so much history at a cemetery. I love learning about the lives of the ones buried.
I have to say watching all your videos I really enjoy you showing those that have been long forgotten along with all the African American actors. I think that is so great of you. Thank you
Sad to see cemeteries in such sad shape. As much as I'm certain these families paid for their loved ones' final resting places, this is a shame to have conditions such as these.
Sad. The fact you had to dig up the gravestone of that poor woman. A trailblazer just forgotten. I didn't see flowers on any gravestones. Are they not allowed? The people that own the cemetery should be ashamed. Total disrespect.
retrobebop61 Im sure that they allow flowers. The cemeteries here have VERY STRICT RULES on what you can place on the graves and people LOVE TO STEAL STUFF TOO.
I really get interested in cemeteries. Your videos are very well done. The information about those who are not often mentioned is a really wonderful thing you do. They should be remembered too, as they make important contributions to how the audience sees the end product. Of course, the actors and actresses get the most attention, but where would they be without the muscians, make-up artists, and all the other people who contribute their talent to the industry. So, I subscribed because your videos were done with such taste.
Arthur, my daughter and I are huge fans and as Afro-Indigenous people,we especially appreciate how you always include people of color in your tours: many of whom have been overlooked.
I grow up in Los Angeles area and never visited these historical cemeteries!! Very interesting! My parents house is not far from.Inglewood Park Cemetery and Holy Cross up the hill on Slauson! i was scared Dracula would wake up and come walking down Slauson and Crenshaw!!
It's like I can't get enough of Bea Benederic when I'm watching Burns And Allen, Beverly Hillbillies or Petticoat Junction or the Flintstones or a Warner Brothers cartoon she was so great
If my loved ones grave looked like these, there would be hell to pay. I got after Forest Lawn Cemetery in RIchmond VA about some of my loved ones graves and they fixed things IMMEDIATELY. Unfortunately a lot of these stars families may have died so there is no one to ensure that the graves are kept up.
It's fitting that Arthur Q. Bryan's final resting place is called Valhalla, since his most famous performance as Elmer Fudd was in "What's Opera, Doc?", a parody of Wagner's Ring Cycle.
+Jason Stewart : I was wondering the exact same thing! This absolutely angers me. How abhorrently disrespectful. That doesn’t even take into account the exorbitant fees they charge for the plot, the vault, the opening and closing of the grave and the headstone itself. If my family were buried there, I would be looking through the purchase contracts and see if maintaining the cemetery was included in the ‘services’. If it were, I would be calling a lawyer. No way I wouldn’t sue them civilly for the money it would take to cover reinterment and the legal fees needed for the action. That’s absolutely inexcusable the disrespectful way they’re treating that cemetery! Shameful. Just shameful.
I didn't know that Gail Russell rested here. She was such a presence in her films. Too bad her life was so sad and tragic. Another actress you should include in a future video - I mean, come on, it's the LEAST you can do - is the great Symona Boniface. She is one of the most under-appreciated straight women in film - let alone The Three Stooges. That's right, she was the recipient of many pies in the face - which she took with grace and dignity, but her most famous line is probably "You DISGRACEFUL vagabonds!!!" which, when people realize who you are talking about, will recite automatically. Let's not forget her contributions.
I believe that Symona Boniface's most famous line is "Young man, you act as though the sword of damocles is hanging over your head". And Moe replies "Lady, you must be psychic".
It's so sad that these amazing and wonderful famous actors and singers Graves are just grown over 😢 just goes to show you no matter who you are we all end up the same way.
Update for anyone worried about the condition of Valhalla, I visited ti yesterday, and there has been a lot of work done there. Looks good now, stones are (mostly) no longer buried, grass looks nice, place is maintained. Still some work to be done, but is night and day better than it was 6 years ago.
the airplane placed right in front of a completely different monument seems really out of place. I admire the airplane and what it stands for but the placement is weird. JMO
It would look 100 times better if it was cared for and displayed with some appropriate landscaping. Being covered in mold and mildew makes it look trashy, and is disrespectful.
Very Beautifull, i love your Präsentation and the Story from the Stars and Co Stars from Hollywood and other- in Germany we präsent only Curd Jürgens,Fritz Lang and Oskar Werner exzellent old Movie Stars from Österreich and Germany !
I grew up on Pass Ave and we used to go play in the Portal when we were kids. We thought it was haunted and it was creepy. My mother, stepbrother and stepfather are buried there. This video brought back memories. BTW, a tidbit of information: there was a small plane crash just outside the entrance to the portal. I heard the crash and rode my bike there right after. One person was killed and a large hole was there for quite awhile at the crash site. That cemetery has a lot of history...
flat stones make for easier mowing and upkeep, its the main reason they do these types of stones, but they can get overgrown if not kept up. At our local cemetery , the upkeep people, use a weed eater around all the stones. Oliver Hardy's ashes are buried in the Masonic area of the cemetery
This was done years ago, I hope that they have restored the grounds which are in deplorable condition. At the very least let volunteers spread some Weed and Seed. This hurts my heart. I appreciate your videos. You are an excellent narrator and film maker. Thank you for remembering those souls in such an informative and non exploitive manner.
Dear Arthur I've recently discovered these videos on UA-cam and urge you to visit Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit Michigan there's a lot of history there and beautiful monuments recently laid to rest Aretha Franklin
“Fun” fact that’s not really fun but: Dale Black, a young pilot was the only survivor of a plane crash that crashed into the portal of the folded wings and had a miraculous near death experience and kept his visit to heaven secret for over 30 years until he decided to become a minister and wrote a book about the miracles in his life. His book is called “flight to heaven” and I strongly suggest watching his interviews here on UA-cam as well and see for yourselves. His plane crashed into that very monument in this cemetery.
I agree with all here, this cemetery is in awful shape, especially compared to Forest Lawn. I must say though that it's more "real" than Forest Lawn, where they exhibit some, if not most celebrities almost as "gods".That has always bothered me. All these people were gifted in one sense or another yes, but they are just people, like us, and we all die. Sorry to be negative. Just my opinion. Great job Art. Thank you so much for your work on these fascinating tours.
I love your videos even if my wife can't understand why .. her lost .. anyway my question to you is how do you know so much about each person and where they are located .. and i understand the stars we all know but to know the directors, makeup men and little-known actors that we have no clue is incredible . you have a gift .. no waste of talent here ..cant wait till you head up this way in ny/nj area
It's so sad and disrespectful that they would allow a resting place to become overgrown & unkempt. I really wish someone would step forward and say something to whoever is in charge. They should be ashamed pf themselves. Places like this should have to be inspected for proper upkeep so that it doesn't become in disrepair. It's so sad to see that.
Great video as always. Which cemetery are you planning on touring next? Would be cool to see Inglewood. IIRC the likes of Ray Charles and Cesar Romero are there. And Glendale's Forest Lawn.
Amelia earhart lived in my hometown of medford Massachusetts! My mother knew her mother, the poor woman never gave up hope her daughter would come home to her
they were all so good but yeah big tragedy that they all have been forgotten and it's sad that the people that take care of the cemetery should take a break and visit some of the old movie stars that entertained the world. I like the three stooges I would visit them Marilyn Monroe I would visit her judy garland and michael jackson.
My Friends, The Soundtrack is ‘The Music of Hollywood Graveyard’ by Giuseppe Vasapolli. I was able to get the soundtrack through my Amazon Music App. Enjoy......🤜🤛,
Im a HUGE lover of cemeteries, I have traveled many miles to find cemeteries that are in the middle of nowhere. I have seen bones sticking put of the ground in some of the most desolate cemeteries due to the bodies not being in a coffin/casket or because over time the coffin/caskets have disolved. Its really sad. This cemetery should be cared for much more than this.

Joe Besser (1907-1988)
Sorry

Deshawn Dike this cemetery looks awful.
I agree, compared to the other Hollywood Cemetery which is gorgeous and very clean. This cemetery looks so sad and obviously not looked after. I wonder why it isn't looked after?
I know! This Cemetery looks as if no one cares for the up-keep or they ran out of money!🙄
My big sister died just after Oliver Hardy and it buried about 50 feet away from where he's buried. She was 11 yrs old. We use to visit her gravesite multiple times a year. Thumb's UP.
My sincere condolences! How she die? Wow! 11?!
your videos are so addictive. can't get enough of them.
Since I've found them I've binged watched them to the point that I can't get the music out of my head all day!
I visite cemetry s for 55 year, it make me relax.
Greetings from netherlands
I have a brother buried there. He died as an infant, before I was around. Learning more about this cemetery is interesting. Seems big brother is in good company.
Sad how even in death if they're not a big well known star, thier resting place doesn't even get good treatment.
That's the same with everyone. Let's not forget that there are no celebrities in death. All are equal or at least they should be.
Well stated 60toodles,
Very well stated.
Thier is not a word you moron.
TheOMGsee it is really disgusting how some cemeteries just let their graves either break down or just get completely lost in time. Everyone deserves to be remembered, so their graves should be treated well.
Bea benaderet was my grandmother thanks for showing her
I loved her in Petticoat Junction. That was one of my favorite shows. She is one of my favorite actresses.
Love watching Bea. She seems genuine and someone you'd like to know personally. Loved Petticoat Junction; not the same when she had to stop.
She was a wonderful actress. I loved her in everything I ever saw her in.
Blanche was my favorite of mine. She makes us laugh frequently
Didn’t know she was your Grandmother
As much money as it cost to be buried there you would think they would re-level the head stones this looks awful...Thanks for the tour great video
somebody needs to be fired for the shape this is in.there is no excuse. they can do all kinds of renovations but take care of the graves too.
What a shame this cemetery doesn't take pride in caring for it's lawns. I found it disturbing to see it so run down and some of the stones covered in dirt and overgrown weeds and grass.
shouldn't the families be responsible for making sure the grave is kept tidy and neat? I would certainly do that if it was a member of my family.
Diann Becker 👍🏻well said
60toodles When everyone in your family is dead and gone -who will take care of the graves then? That's why it's called "perpetual care". Apparently this cemetery doesn't practice that.
@@cynthiathomas5443 That's why you pay $$$$ for cemetery plots.
The lawn in that place looks like the weed and dirt backyard I had as a child.
Dandelions are pretty, but the prices the family paid shouldn't include a weed jungle.
@@cynthiathomas5443 forget perpetual care this isn't the mob where you should be paid off to do your job. It should be a part of the price.
Gail Russell was such a beauty. So sad what happened to her...
I first saw Gail Russell in 1944's 'The Uninvited' with Ray Milland. What a tragic beauty she was.
I am shocked to see the condition of this cemetery. It looks more like a Potter's Field than a cemetery where celebrities are buried.
So sad to see such unattended graves. We have a small village church yard with generatons of my family there and the place is so well kept.
The scene of the orange clouds in the sky behind the fountain that you used at the beginning and end of this video: very cool. The jet airliner flying over your shoulder while you were walking: very inventive and demonstrative of your continued situational awareness. Your closing remarks about the dead walking the green carpet: very cognitive. Your artistic expression combined with your future cemetery locations is greatly anticipated. For instance, I look forward to your production of Hillside Memorial Park which will undoubtedly include the tomb of Al Jolson (with the cascading waterfall in front). Thank you for another superlative production.
Thank you again for the kind words, I'm looking forward to Hillside myself :)
This shows why I really hate flat grave markers. Even in well kept cemeteries (which this is clearly not) they tend to settle and sink into the ground. And they suffer from the elements, being walked on and lawn mowers rolling over them. And of course, they are simply boring.

Jon-Erik Hexum was an 80's actor who died in 1984 by self accidental shooting in the temple while filming "Cover Up". He was in the film "Making of a Male Model" and also in the "Voyagers" series. His ashes was scattered in Point Dume but fans bought a cenotaph for him next to the Folded Wings.

What he did violated the first rule of gun safety- always assume it's loaded- that does not let the property master (propman) off the hook though, the weapon should only have been loaded just before the stunt, and he should never let it out of his control, even a blank- which was the load- can generate a force in the thousands of pounds, which is what fragmented Hexum's skull causing the fatal injury.

Oliver Hardy died just down the street in his Mother-in-Laws home. He had suffered a severe stroke at his wife sold their home and moved him there.
i will forever support Hollywood graveyard best you tube channel ever
Martha Vickers was a beautiful woman !
I was here recently, shot a video on this cemetery, noticed restoration taking place
Cemetery Devil MacKenzie Westmore is still alive and is hosting "FaceOff". Shame on her for not tending to her father's gravesite.
I grow up in Los Angeles area and never visited these historical cemeteries!! Very interesting! My parents house is not far from.Inglewood Park Cemetery and Holy Cross up the hill on Slauson! i was scared Dracula would wake up and come walking down Slauson and Crenshaw!!
It's like I can't get enough of Bea Benederic when I'm watching Burns And Allen, Beverly Hillbillies or Petticoat Junction or the Flintstones or a Warner Brothers cartoon she was so great
Henry Willson is also buried here. He was an agent. Gave rock Hudson his name.
Helen Crump and Cousin Pearl from Beverly Hillbillies. I enjoyed both of those roles growing up.

Looks good now, stones are (mostly) no longer buried, grass looks nice, place is maintained. Still some work to be done, but is night and day better than it was 6 years ago.
Seeing the cemetery in that condition hurts my heart. I hope the renovations you talked about have been followed through.

Another well done, quality video.
Thank you for your very informative video on who and their own contribution to the music and film makers of the past... so interesting😊👍
the airplane placed right in front of a completely different monument seems really out of place. I admire the airplane and what it stands for but the placement is weird. JMO
lisa martin - I agree, it looks like some cheesy prop
It's not an airplane, it's a space shuttle. Yeah, it is a weird placement, even though it is a tribute to a loss from space travel.
Come on man.... the airplane 🤔
It would look 100 times better if it was cared for and displayed with some appropriate landscaping. Being covered in mold and mildew makes it look trashy, and is disrespectful.

Dear Arthur I've recently discovered these videos on UA-cam and urge you to visit Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit Michigan there's a lot of history there and beautiful monuments recently laid to rest Aretha Franklin
I’m surprised how few known partnerships, in marriage or on-screen, are buried together
I like your hat and glasses. its a cool look!
That cemetery looks run down. Just about every gravestone shot had dandelions in it.
perfect to planespot and visit the cementery too
“Fun” fact that’s not really fun but: Dale Black, a young pilot was the only survivor of a plane crash that crashed into the portal of the folded wings and had a miraculous near death experience and kept his visit to heaven secret for over 30 years until he decided to become a minister and wrote a book about the miracles in his life. His book is called “flight to heaven” and I strongly suggest watching his interviews here on UA-cam as well and see for yourselves. His plane crashed into that very monument in this cemetery.
~ I lived near the cemetery and remember that day . Was very errie ...
I agree with all here, this cemetery is in awful shape, especially compared to Forest Lawn. I must say though that it's more "real" than Forest Lawn, where they exhibit some, if not most celebrities almost as "gods".That has always bothered me.
All these people were gifted in one sense or another yes, but they are just people, like us, and we all die. Sorry to be negative. Just my opinion. Great job Art. Thank you so much for your work on these fascinating tours.
I love your videos even if my wife can't understand why .. her lost .. anyway my question to you is how do you know so much about each person and where they are located .. and i understand the stars we all know but to know the directors, makeup men and little-known actors that we have no clue is incredible . you have a gift .. no waste of talent here ..cant wait till you head up this way in ny/nj area
rest in place my dear friend Oliver hardy
My parents are buried here. It's been cleaned up since and looks much better.
Is this like the Compton of cemeteries...it's so ghetto.
Love the videos I hope you do more
That cemetery is in pretty crummy shape. How sad!
Interesting celebrities...the least kept up cemetery I have viewed so far. Of course Arthur......you always upstage them all !
It's so sad and disrespectful that they would allow a resting place to become overgrown & unkempt.
I really wish someone would step forward and say something to whoever is in charge.
They should be ashamed pf themselves. Places like this should have to be inspected for proper upkeep so that it doesn't become in disrepair.
It's so sad to see that.
Great tour hope you can do Forest Lawn at Glendale .
He already made three videos on Forest Lawn Glendale and I'm only sorry that he missed the character actress Mary Boland.
Ola muito bom vc fazer homenagem a esses artistas parabéns pelo canal .
love the trivia
I can't believe they let this cemetery look this way especially all the legends that are there they should really be ashamed of themselves sad too see
Great video as always. Which cemetery are you planning on touring next? Would be cool to see Inglewood. IIRC the likes of Ray Charles and Cesar Romero are there. And Glendale's Forest Lawn.
Thank you. Both those cemeteries are on the docket, but next is still up in the air...
Amelia earhart lived in my hometown of medford Massachusetts! My mother knew her mother, the poor woman never gave up hope her daughter would come home to her
Jon-Erik Hexum has a cenotaph there, placed by his fans. He’s in the memorial book near the Portal of Folded Wings.
My goodness that graveyard is a mess. It looks like a weed patch.
So sad the condition of this cemetery.
THANKS! well done =]
Valhalla ? I beg to differ . This Cemetery needs New Management .
they were all so good but yeah big tragedy that they all have been forgotten and it's sad that the people that take care of the cemetery should take a break and visit some of the old movie stars that entertained the world. I like the three stooges I would visit them Marilyn Monroe I would visit her judy garland and michael jackson.
Beautiful..
Such an elegant name for such a dumpy place, sad🙁
l love your videos .please keep the coming
My Friends, The Soundtrack is ‘The Music of Hollywood Graveyard’ by Giuseppe Vasapolli. I was able to get the soundtrack through my Amazon Music App. Enjoy......🤜🤛,
I agree that the grave stones are in pretty rough condition . They are so close together they almost have to be cremated. and in urns
Im a HUGE lover of cemeteries, I have traveled many miles to find cemeteries that are in the middle of nowhere. I have seen bones sticking put of the ground in some of the most desolate cemeteries due to the bodies not being in a coffin/casket or because over time the coffin/caskets have disolved. Its really sad.
This cemetery should be cared for much more than this.
