    Many have asked what the blue PC stickers mean: They stand for "Perpetual Care," which means additional funds have been placed in an endowment for the perpetual care and maintenance of the gravesite. And quick corrections: Ed Wood was released in '94, not '90. And Bert Lahr won a Tony for "Foxy," not "Roxy."

    Up until her death I used to see Mae West being driven by chauffeured limo with out blackened windows so that everyone could see her sitting in the back. I guess it was her way of letting everyone know she was still alive and kicking with her beauty still intact. She was quite a character. I loved her bravado.

      We have a very old one in New Haven, Ct. called " *Yale Cemetery* " to mention a few folks buried here are: _Noah Webster; Roger Sherman Baldwin_ ,
      _The Amistad Lawyer_ and _U.S. Sen. James Hillhouse_ . The cemetery, already designated a historical landmark, is maintained by the university.
      A significant portion of the burial ground is reserved for Yale presidents and faculty.Sep 23, 2000. Another old Cemetery in New Haven, Ct is
      " *The Grove Street Cemetery"* Band Leader Glenn Miller is buried here; Eli whitney Blake ( _Was an American inventor, best known for his mortise lock_
      _and stone-crushing machine, the latter_ ); *Walter Camp* ( _Was an American football player, coach, and sports writer known as the "Father of American Football"_
      Among a long list of inventions, he created... _He created the sport's line of scrimmage and the system of downs._ And *Noah Webster'* _His "Blue-backed Speller" books taught_ _five generations of American children how to spell and read. Webster's name has become synonymous with "dictionary" in the United States, especially the modern_ Merriam-Webster dictionary that was first...

    I'm from New York City and I always wondered where famous people were buried here. Amazingly, I passed the grave of Dom DeLuise only feet away on my way to work every day and didn't know I just had to stop on the outside of the fence. Thanks to this video I saw his tombstone today and I didn't even have to go inside the cemetery. I have always been creeped out by cemeteries. That's why I've never gone in there. These videos take me in there in my own city. Thanks man for this. I mean it.

    I drove Martin Landau to a movie premiere when I was a limo driver in LA. I picked him up from a high rise office building on Wilshire. I actually had to go up to his office to get him. He was working at a talent agency. They must have been doing some kind of casting because there were a gaggle of beautiful women in the lobby. I told the receptionist I was there to pick up him up and a few minutes later out he comes. He had a patch on his his eye and wouldn't shake my hand because he didn't want to give me pink eye, or whatever kind of infection he had. We rode down the elevator together. I thought holy crap I am in an elevator with Martin Landau. We got into the limo then I couldn't get the damn limo out of the parking garage. He was really cool about it. After a few minutes I finally was able to get the boat-ish 10 passenger stretch out of the parking garage and I dropped him off at a theater somewhere in Westwood. I picked him up and took him back to the his office. He shook my hand and gave me 20 bucks, and asked for my business card, which I thought was kind of cool. Nice, down to earth guy.

    I liked video 1 and now 2 of New York's Cemeteries. I was visiting a cemetery in Oneida, NY, and the tombstones and various cut stone, dated back to 1690 up to 2004 (when I visited there). I loved it! Kinda sad to see Monty Cliff, buried in a cemetery that hardly anyone knows it's there. Because of his mother who was a Quaker. To bad he never left a will or a wish. I loved him in Red River. Thank you for the tour, it was great. The first video was fall, and it is really beautiful in New York during the fall.

    I must confess! When I first came across this series, by accident I may add, I was convinced that it was going to be just another morbid almost voyeuristic journey down cemetery lane, but I must say, not only was I wrong in my assumption, but the whole format is done in a highly respectable manner to those lost souls of the silver screen, and the narrative is highly defined and informative which in turn makes for a highly absorbing series.

    Thank you for showing Andy Kaufman grave. I was one of those that didn't think he was dead. His daughter never said he actually died and that he would send her letters saying he was still alive while in disguise and no one will ever find him.

    In 2019 we went to a movie theater to see a showing of the movie, Hello Dolly. It was the 50th anniversary of the movie. When Louie Armstrong (Satchmo) came on the screen, everyone in the movie stood up and applauded. Not too bad receiving a standing ovation 50 years later. BTW-the theater was filled to capacity. It was a nice time and he was great musician🎺❤️

    Thank you so much for giving me a chance to "visit" your graveyards, something I always wanted to do. I became an avid fan of classic cinema courtesy of many evenings spent with my dad while I was in high school and college. We forget how much of our lives and loves were influenced by the early pioneers of entertainment, industry, media, etc. Saddest part was that Houdini's beloved wife was not "permitted" by her family to be buried with her husband because it was a Jewish cemetary. What touched me the most was seeing the many stones placed on tombstones, showing to all how much those people touched the lives of others. Thank you again.

I’m a Londoner and have explored all the Victorian London graveyards and Pere Lechaise, Staglieno (Genova), war graves from Belgium to Singapore etc. Such history, such opportunity to meet the famous.......learn about the human condition, beliefs, art and tranquillity. I though American graveyards were dull until seeing your tour. Grazie tanto!

    I can't never wait until the next episode, they are well narrated and educational. Arthur, I am very appreciative of your work, but since you're filming in New York, I would like to petition for you to visit Greenlawn cemetery in the Bronx, there you will find mansion mouseliums housing just one famous person. There you can also find the tumb of famous queen of salsa Celia Cruz.

    I'm always surprised to see such simple grave sites belonging to some of the most famous entertainers that ever lived. The grave site of Dom DeLuise in a crowded cemetery next to a noisy expressway made me sad. He was one of my favorite Hollywood actors and guest performers. RIP

    Hi, Arthur D! Thank you very much for your brilliant series, which I always look forward to on YT! When my grandmother (RIP) was in her early '90's, she paid a visit to her nephew (my cousin) who lived in New York before he moved to nearby New Jersey some years ago. Before he showed her to where her elder brother/my Grand Uncle Tom was buried, he told her that his grave was where they filmed The Godfather … Calvary Cemetery, featured here! You made my day. Love from Manchester, England (PS: Some very interesting graves at Southern Cemetery in Manchester, England, including one of the two pilots, Alcock or Brown - I can't remember which one. They were the first to fly non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean in 1919. The plane crash landed in Galway, Ireland! The centenary of that historic flight is next year).
