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."
Such a great man was Martin Landau!! So glad that I got to see his grave in this video!! Thanks for that!! Also is there going to be another part of the New York series?
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...
Mae West, lived a good life! Her one liners are legendary! "It's not the men in my life; it's the life in my men!"😅 No one can say that but her! Arthur, I can't believe that I enjoyed your tours! 👍🎬👍
And we think of Louis as a trumpeter, but more importantly his phrasing is the foundation of all modern singing. All the great singers point to Pops as the guy who started it all and was their inspiration.
He was my father's best friend, my son interviewed my mom in grade school for a paper he wrote about Louie Armstrong. He came to family functions, my parents went to dinner w him, all kinds of things. His music is beautiful to my ears bc you know, it is..a wonderful world
Mae West was so ahead of her time and it amazes me how much she got away with in the golden age of censorship. Crazy to think she only made a total of twelve films in her career yet she achieved that level of an unforgettable icon. Thank you for paying her a visit.
She was also 4'11", wore platform shoes, I've always loved Mae, since I was a child & I'm 60, I would watch all her movies, anything she was starring in or making an appearance in, great lady
I have really bad anxiety and I use these videos to fall asleep. Before you attack, it’s not because they are boring. They are incredibly amazing and relaxing. The information and music soothe me. ❤️👏🏼
I've said it before, Arthur, but you really are at the top of your game. The amount of research and preparation that go into producing these videos is immense, and you knock it out of the park every time. First LA, now New York. I cannot wait to see where you take us next. Thank you.
Mae West was an incredible woman. She wrote movies, plays, and books, recorded a few albums, and was heavy into real estate. She was still very wealthy till the day she died, God bless her soul.
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.
Great as always! Little side trivia about Houdini. He gave this little kid, Joseph Frank Keaton a nickname when the kid fell down the stairs and laughed. He dubbed him Buster. Buster Keaton.
@@dircia7754 He was friends with Buster Keaton's parents. He was over at their house and "Buster" fell down the stairs and laughed. Houdini laughed and said, "That's a Buster."
My best memory of Mae West is her work with the Three Stooges!! I find it adorable when Larry, Moe, and Curly always had to bite their hands whenever she says, "Why don't you come up and see me some time."
Although a particular show was not mentioned, Martin Landau will be best remembered to me when he played Commander John Koenig in the 2 season series of Space:1999. Loved his leadership in the show and I still watch it today. Loved the special effects especially the Eagles spacecraft.
I love Arthur Dark's channel. At first, i thought that all cemetaries were dark and gloomy but the celeb's final resting places were quite beautiful. Keep up the good work, Arthur.
Can't believe you made it here! I live a block away from Cypress Hills where Mae West is resting. I always love exploring all the cemeteries around here and this was even more eye opening. Thank you Arthur!!
My son met Mr. Gotti when they were both having treatments for cancer. My son introduced himself and so did Mr. Gotti. Then they talked about their cancerand Mr. Gotti was led away. My son thought that was too awesome. He died in 1997, a week after his 25th birthday.
It's hard to put into words but this one was moving in a somber kinda way . The way the trees and moss and the old and majestic headstones reveal them selves as you walk by . Even in death we are never alone nor forgotten.
That was great! I visited the wonderful Miss Mae West about 12 years ago. It was a real honor. I also saw Victor Moore’s crypt. He was in Mae West’s last black & white movie, made for Columbia Pictures, “The Heat’s On”. Thanks for the tour! 🥂
Dom deluise .. Amazing and funny ... I was his personal chef at universal Studios while he was filming a remake of the show candid camera and his son was filming 21 Jump Street... back in very early 90’s ... I remember he had this phone with many push buttons with all of them lite up with calls... But when It was time to eat it just just a push of one button and all the lights went dark ... lol He would invite you or who ever was with you to sit and eat... we became beautiful friends such Beautiful soul and amazing stories of his life.... R.I.P my friend 💛
That's awesome!! Dom was a great funnyman...I remember back in the 70's his friendship with Burt Reynolds, and the Great Johnny Carson. I had one episode of Johnny recorded when Burt, and Dom were both on Carson, and they all 3 were in tears they were laughing so hard....
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🎺❤️
I was born and raised Catholic but I find it so hypocritical that the church permits these lavish monuments to criminals who were known to kill and damage so many lives.
Maybe that's why cremation is the way to go. No ugly muss or fuss with the bones being strewn about to upset the survivors. Just pour out the ashes on the ground, in a stream, into the ocean or keep in the freezer. I've never heard of such revengeful doings. It certainly isn't in the guide books of Eire.
Vanessa, F.Y.I.: Ms. West enjoyed and indulged in weekly enemas, which she so passionately gave herself. Perhaps this is why she retained her beauty and was so EVER lively and energetic. THANK YOU Ms.West for gracing our lives on and off the screen. May your loving and passionate soul forever rest in eternal peace in God's eternal kingdom. You will be forever missed and never forgotten.
@@ryankopp9302 nothing. Wrong in keeping ur intestines. Clean also The guy who looked after her said she ate healthy and she believed in taking care of herself.thats probally why she lived as long as she did.
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.
You know, one hears so much trash about celebrities, how high & mighty etc. they behave, it's refreshing to hear that someone NICE, treated someone NICELY.
I want to commend and thank you for providing us with such educational information relating to deceased members of our heritage. Keep up the good work. We would not have this knowledge being brought to us in our homes. Once again Thank You.
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.
Thank you for posting this; I'm glad Bo Jangles has a beautiful marker he was such a great talent. I wanted to view Mae's resting place and was heartened to see she's with her family, we are fortunate to have her body of work to enjoy. It's a privilege to visit these places where otherwise I wouldn't be able to undertake the experience.
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.
I had memories of many stars. In case of Satchmo, I sang "What A Wonderful World" by phone to my girlfriend as a birthday gift to her recently. In case of Landau, I watched him in a TV series called "Alpha Moonbase" with Barbara Bain and Barry Morse in the cast. Greets from Peru and congratulations for your New York graveyards tour...
Thank you for what you do, I started watching when my nana died last year and I feel I sense of closure while watching you show the dead such respect. I again thank you and hope you keep on doing what you are doing
I know what u mean I feel the same way. My Dad passed away in April of this year I just came across these videos not long after my Dad passed away He was a World War 2 Veteran a great Dad. I remember bring little and watching scary movies on tv and he would tell me oh don't be afraid of the dead its the LIVE WEIRDOS THAT ARE THE SCARY ONES!! AND THEN HE WOULD LAUGH!! I REALLY MISS HIM!
I absolutely love this! Thank you. 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 live in a small vilage ,next to me a graveyard with 34000 young German soldiers..ww2. Greetings from the Netherlands The village name is , America. No joke
Great job man. Lol as morbid as this is, its fascinating and I really hope you get to do things for major networks in some sort of capacity very soon. You put your heart into this and its shows. Awesome production 👍🏿.
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.
abe vigoda lived in my neighborhood the last years of his life. i still remember him buying groceries and the young cashier said to him how much she loved him in the godfather. he smiled. it was nice to see how she knew about the godfather and who he was
Many thumbs UP. 👍 great NYC. My grandparents are buried in Beth David back section by the fence really far back You make me feel like they are alive Ty all
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
I absolutely LOVE your videos. I wish all future videos could be as long ( or longer) like this new one. Maybe I'm an oddball , but I never thought that it's "morbid" to show an interest in the dead. The deceased had lives with histories and stories. They should not be forgotten. You make that possible Mr Dark, along with your crew and Giuseppe's wonderful music. I hope you come back to New York again.
So excited to see a new upload.Thank You for coming to New York and showcasing the graves of stars buried or entombed in the Northeast.Hopefully you'll stop by Ferncliff Cemetery to see the stars like Joan Crawford,Aaliyah,&Judy Tyler,Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee.
So glad I stumbled on this show. Its always nice to go down memory lane listening to Arthurs soothing voice. I especially enjoy the music and movie clips. Would love to visit some of these cemeteries especially the old ones. Thank you Arthur if you happen to see this.
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.
Another Arthur masterpiece! Bernard Herrmann scored my favorite movie "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" 1947. The music for this movie is hauntedly beautiful (pardon the pun) and was in fact Herrmann's most favorite score that he ever did...
I listen to your videos while taking a shower love hearing the back stories and short video clips .. I truly love your channel thanks for your time and the money you spend for gas
Really great program, it is like keeping all the people alive again, getting recognized for what these people did in life. Very few of us ever knew about any of the talents these wonderful people had.
By far, one of the most intriguing in your series of videos. I used to pass the Queens cemeteries on the L.I. Expressway and marvel at the millions of stones. Thank you for pointing out some of the more desired to be identified plots. No one would otherwise undertake such a trip! Fascinating!
Absolutely fantastic video. So informative and entertaining. I got to go and visit some of these cemeteries. Thanks for all your hard work making this video.
I’m glad I found this. My father and I visited cemetery’s together. My dad wanted bring home a child’s tombstone but my mother said “no”. This was a special time for me. Miss Daddy❤️
I always love Dom Deluise performances and when he was teamed up with Burt Reynolds, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. He was super funny. I always loved Louis Armstrong song What A Wonderful World I was pleased to view the resting place of Dr. Joyce Brothers.
I can' t say it gets better because it's always better! or should I say the best? Right always the best! Wow 3 million graves!!!.. I will always love this series! Thank you for making it so enjoyable to go to graveyards! Knew it would be great before I saw it! Please never stop. Thanks again. Never lose that voice!!!!..
Veronica Panella Shame we were not able to view her grave in this video as well, would have been a nice touch. I wish they were together in fact as well, but take comfort that in the world beyond, petty differences are overcome.
@@MommaWolf1967 Yes. I know. I know a little bit about the Houdinis. I have a documentary and movie about them in my DVD collection. It just is that interfaith couples now have more options than when Bess died.
Brittany Rozenberg Hollander Not quite so simple. This was a decision made by Bess Houdini’s family not to have her buried with him because of the religious differences. To my knowledge, there has never been a Catholic decree on mixed faith burials and I do not believe there is one on the Jewish side. Basically, family used religion as an excuse. Why I stated that love transcends the petty concerns of mere mortals. No hard feelings, just it makes me angry given how much they loved each other.
This guy is so good at doing this. Everyday I eat lunch, I watch his channel. Even if I have seen it 100 times. This guy needs to be on travel channel.
It is amazing how forgotten so many of these people are. I have never heard of most of them. Mae West, I knew, she has remained fairly famous. Some of the mobsters are still fairly famous.
These cemeteries are absolutely beautiful! You work and editing are awesome as well. Thank you for your work and for all of the entertainment you provide!
Martin Landau, in Mission Impossible & Sleepy Hallow; Abe Vigoda, in the Godfather, Barney Miller & Fish. Mae West, a Brooklyn gal across the East River from me. She was way ahead of her time. Bawdy, beautiful. I thank Jackie Robinson, for being one of the pioneers of the Civil Rights movement. Bill Robinson & Louie Armstrong, great entertainers. May they ALL rest in peace. All great show men & women.
This is the cemetery I would walk in as a kid, I grew up right down the block on Euclid Ave in cypress hills As an adult I still have a love of old cemeteries ❤️
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 never knew Bert Lahr was buried here in NYC. I definitely have to pay my respects to him one day. The Wizard of Oz is one of my all time favorite films. I'm so glad I saw this video. Thank you.
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."
Hollywood Graveyard was literally about to ask the same question lol! You will have to do a special for Stan lee!! Mr marvel himself ❤️
I Love It So Much And Also Love Your Voice Too.
Such a great man was Martin Landau!! So glad that I got to see his grave in this video!! Thanks for that!! Also is there going to be another part of the New York series?
Thank You So Much My Heart Was Rising Up

Mae West, lived a good life! Her one liners are legendary! "It's not the men in my life; it's the life in my men!"😅 No one can say that but her! Arthur, I can't believe that I enjoyed your tours! 👍🎬👍
Rest In Peace, Louis Armstrong!!!! A True Founding Father of Modern American Music who will never be forgotten!!!!
And we think of Louis as a trumpeter, but more importantly his phrasing is the foundation of all modern singing. All the great singers point to Pops as the guy who started it all and was their inspiration.
With all the flags you’d think he was a war hero!! Didn’t see any flags like that On any others
He was my father's best friend, my son interviewed my mom in grade school for a paper he wrote about Louie Armstrong. He came to family functions, my parents went to dinner w him, all kinds of things. His music is beautiful to my ears bc you know, it is..a wonderful world

She added very racy lines n they would let some slip
She was a genius that mastered the art of telling a joke with a double entendre meaning.
She couldn't stand W.C. Fields.... I think he was trying to"upstage" her but they were wonderful in My Little Chickadee,.... hilarious 😂
I have really bad anxiety and I use these videos to fall asleep. Before you attack, it’s not because they are boring. They are incredibly amazing and relaxing. The information and music soothe me. ❤️👏🏼
Me too
His voice is very soothing
No need to go bananas, Bananas. These type of videos don't a-peel to everyone, though I can watch a bunch at a time. So relax, and hang loose
I thought i was the only one.. i fall asleep watching his videos cuz they are really soothing to watch.. sometimes, i dream of those late actors

Omg! You found the cowedly lion! I'm so happy! It's even got a cute little lion there!
I was there in 2014 and I swear that same lion was there then.
That lion 🦁 costume went for big money 💰 a few years back. All the Oz stuff including the recently recovered ruby slippers are highly collectible.
Mae West was actually quite a talent. She wrote all of the scripts to her motion pictures.
She couldn't stand W.C. Fields but my favorite movie is My Little Chickadee....Why don't you come up and see me sometime

I was born and raised Catholic but I find it so hypocritical that the church permits these lavish monuments to criminals who were known to kill and damage so many lives.
Mango891 As a fellow Catholic, you should know those donations go a long way to make people overlook certain things....
I was once as well. The history of the RC Church is reprehensible. Totally hypocritical!
Which religion isn't?
That's Catholicism for ya
Maybe that's why cremation is the way to go. No ugly muss or fuss with the bones being strewn about to upset the survivors.

You know, one hears so much trash about celebrities, how high & mighty etc. they behave, it's refreshing to hear that someone NICE, treated someone NICELY.
Martin Landau won best supporting actor fir his role in the film “Ed Wood”
How perfect are his videos? The voice, the music, the locations, information etc etc. bravo to u.
Arthur Dark is the godfather of the graveyard! Always entertaining, always educational, I can't help but click when that notification pops up!
I want to commend and thank you for providing us with such educational information relating to deceased members of our heritage. Keep up the good work. We would not have this knowledge being brought to us in our homes.
Once again Thank You.
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.
Thank you for posting this; I'm glad Bo Jangles has a beautiful marker he was such a great talent. I wanted to view Mae's resting place and was heartened to see she's with her family, we are fortunate to have her body of work to enjoy. It's a privilege to visit these places where otherwise I wouldn't be able to undertake the experience.
the godfather of graves ladies and gents has posted yet another masterpiece
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.
I remember Dom Deluise doing cooking demonstrations to sell his pots and pans. You never expect guys like him to die. So full of life. R.I.P
@Kelly Norman WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
@Kelly Norman your daddy left you early. What a shame. Gone to soon before teaching you manners.
Der auf alles Scheisser you’re dumb.
@Kelly Norman wtf did he do to you?
@Kelly Norman what is the problem
As a film buff & former Mae West impersonator, I truly enjoy your work! Thank you!🎥❤🍀May you make thousands more!
I had memories of many stars. In case of Satchmo, I sang "What A Wonderful World" by phone to my girlfriend as a birthday gift to her recently. In case of Landau, I watched him in a TV series called "Alpha Moonbase" with Barbara Bain and Barry Morse in the cast. Greets from Peru and congratulations for your New York graveyards tour...
Thank you for what you do, I started watching when my nana died last year and I feel I sense of closure while watching you show the dead such respect. I again thank you and hope you keep on doing what you are doing
I know what u mean I feel the same way. My Dad passed away in April of this year I just came across these videos not long after my Dad passed away He was a World War 2 Veteran a great Dad. I remember bring little and watching scary movies on tv and he would tell me oh don't be afraid of the dead its the LIVE WEIRDOS THAT ARE THE SCARY ONES!! AND THEN HE WOULD LAUGH!! I REALLY MISS HIM!
I absolutely love this! Thank you. 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 live in a small vilage ,next to me a graveyard with 34000 young German soldiers..ww2.
Greetings from the Netherlands
The village name is , America.
No joke
Great job man. Lol as morbid as this is, its fascinating and I really hope you get to do things for major networks in some sort of capacity very soon. You put your heart into this and its shows. Awesome production 👍🏿.
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.
He belonged to his family before the public. In life many seek fame but in death they belong to family and God.
mae west, what a woman 🌹
Shipwreck
powerful documentary never being made before only by this HARD CORE HOLLYWOOD'S HISTORIAN
abe vigoda lived in my neighborhood the last years of his life. i still remember him buying groceries and the young cashier said to him how much she loved him in the godfather. he smiled. it was nice to see how she knew about the godfather and who he was
I liked the Barney Miller episode where they ate those hash brownies and said he was jumping across buildings to apprehend a bad guy .
Many thumbs UP. 👍 great NYC. My grandparents are buried in Beth David back section by the fence really far back
You make me feel like they are alive
Ty all
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
I absolutely LOVE your videos. I wish all future videos could be as long ( or longer) like this new one. Maybe I'm an oddball , but I never thought that it's "morbid" to show an interest in the dead. The deceased had lives with histories and stories. They should not be forgotten. You make that possible Mr Dark, along with your crew and Giuseppe's wonderful music. I hope you come back to New York again.
RIP Louis Armstrong and Andy Kaufman!
Thank your for the extended tribute to Bernard Herrmann, a great artist.
So excited to see a new upload.Thank You for coming to New York and showcasing the graves of stars buried or entombed in the Northeast.Hopefully you'll stop by Ferncliff Cemetery to see the stars like Joan Crawford,Aaliyah,&Judy Tyler,Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee.
Mae West was my favorite!
May their souls rest in Peace... Amen
These old cemeteries. . .sooooo beautiful.
So glad I stumbled on this show. Its always nice to go down memory lane listening to Arthurs soothing voice. I especially enjoy the music and movie clips. Would love to visit some of these cemeteries especially the old ones. Thank you Arthur if you happen to see this.
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.
Another Arthur masterpiece! Bernard Herrmann scored my favorite movie "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" 1947. The music for this movie is hauntedly beautiful (pardon the pun) and was in fact Herrmann's most favorite score that he ever did...
Jackie Robinson Day in Chicago is always amazing.
It sucks they wouldnt let her be buried with her husband. I enjoy the history you share with your tours. You guys rock!
Thank-You Arthur. You ALWAYS do such a WONDERFUL JOB!!!! Your voice is quite 'COMPLIMENTARY' to the 'Narration' of these videos!!!!
I listen to your videos while taking a shower love hearing the back stories and short video clips .. I truly love your channel thanks for your time and the money you spend for gas
wawa Elias That’s Religion for you, Catholic’s were not allowed to be cremated for a long time
@@lizearley9928 a crazy world we live in
Really great program, it is like keeping all the people alive again, getting recognized for what these people did in life. Very few of us ever knew about any of the talents these wonderful people had.
An enjoyable and informative video I am looking forward to watching the next one . 👍
Have always been a huge fan of Mae West. Definitely one to meet if time machines are ever invented....or at least find a great look a like.
It's weird knowing that Lucky Luciano, Vito Genovese, Carlo Gambino, and John Gotti are all laid to rest within a stone's throw of each other.
By far, one of the most intriguing in your series of videos. I used to pass the Queens cemeteries on the L.I. Expressway and marvel at the millions of stones. Thank you for pointing out some of the more desired to be identified plots. No one would otherwise undertake such a trip! Fascinating!
Beautifully done. Gave me some calm on a night when I am having a great deal of pain in my life. Thank you for taking my mind some place else
“I see a man in your life”
“What, only one?”
😂😂😂
Yes!!! I have never seen a Mae West movie, but be damned if I don't go find some of them now. 😆 I've only seen people imitate her.
La primitiva jueves 26 de diciembre
Wouldn’t it be something on the way out A voice Would say don’t be a stranger come back and see me sometime and bring your friends
Absolutely fantastic video. So informative and entertaining. I got to go and visit some of these cemeteries. Thanks for all your hard work making this video.
I’m glad I found this. My father and I visited cemetery’s together. My dad wanted bring home a child’s tombstone but my mother said “no”. This was a special time for me. Miss Daddy❤️
Thanks for doing this in the rain. 👍
I always love Dom Deluise performances and when he was teamed up with Burt Reynolds, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. He was super funny.
I always loved Louis Armstrong song What A Wonderful World
I was pleased to view the resting place of Dr. Joyce Brothers.
# HollywoodGraveYardCrew
Yesss Thank You Mr.Dark!!!!!
🍿Anyone?
Thats the spirit.thank you Hollywood
I can' t say it gets better because it's always better! or should I say the best? Right always the best! Wow 3 million graves!!!.. I will always love this series! Thank you for making it so enjoyable to go to graveyards! Knew it would be great before I saw it! Please never stop. Thanks again. Never lose that voice!!!!..
I was ready when I saw the notification. I love your videos❤️
I love Louis Armstrong What a Wonderful World
So sad about Bess Houdini not being allowed to be buried with Harry Houdini :(
Veronica Panella Shame we were not able to view her grave in this video as well, would have been a nice touch. I wish they were together in fact as well, but take comfort that in the world beyond, petty differences are overcome.
Harry Houdini was Jewish and his Wife was Catholic so his wife could't be buried in a Jewish cemetery as a result
It is what it is
@@MommaWolf1967 Yes. I know. I know a little bit about the Houdinis. I have a documentary and movie about them in my DVD collection. It just is that interfaith couples now have more options than when Bess died.
Brittany Rozenberg Hollander Not quite so simple. This was a decision made by Bess Houdini’s family not to have her buried with him because of the religious differences. To my knowledge, there has never been a Catholic decree on mixed faith burials and I do not believe there is one on the Jewish side. Basically, family used religion as an excuse. Why I stated that love transcends the petty concerns of mere mortals.
No hard feelings, just it makes me angry given how much they loved each other.
Andy k' Elvis is great
This guy is so good at doing this. Everyday I eat lunch, I watch his channel. Even if I have seen it 100 times. This guy needs to be on travel channel.
WAHOOO ANOTHER TOUR
So excited to watch Arthur... from Australia
Thank you for your upload.
Arthur Black has such a great voice and is a handsome man. Love watching these videos.
It is amazing how forgotten so many of these people are. I have never heard of most of them. Mae West, I knew, she has remained fairly famous. Some of the mobsters are still fairly famous.
Abe Vigoda was awesome as John Travolta's grandfather in "Look Who's Talking"
I knew I'd seen his face somewhere. Didn't Mikey take his false teeth?
@@darthdmc Mikey also tried to feed him mashed potatoes
...and didn't he voice a character in Shark Tales?
He was wonderfully brooding as Tessio in the Godfather too.
I want to thank all of your subscribers, for giving us all additional information, that enhances what you’re showing us.
Hi Arthur! Thanks for this new video! Hope you're doing well!
I liked this video because it was informative without more commentary than necessary. Educational for sure.
These cemeteries are absolutely beautiful! You work and editing are awesome as well. Thank you for your work and for all of the entertainment you provide!
i never thought I’d find the youtube niche of cemetery tours, but I love it. I’m glad I’m not the only one that likes these
Mae West is a hero and icon of women
And to Gay men everywhere. She was our first big supporter. I have visited her graveside. My mom is buried walking distance to her.
Martin Landau, in Mission Impossible & Sleepy Hallow; Abe Vigoda, in the Godfather, Barney Miller & Fish. Mae West, a Brooklyn gal across the East River from me. She was way ahead of her time. Bawdy, beautiful. I thank Jackie Robinson, for being one of the pioneers of the Civil Rights movement. Bill Robinson & Louie Armstrong, great entertainers. May they ALL rest in peace. All great show men & women.
So many good ones in these cemeteries. These are a must to visit. So beautiful and they are really packed.
This is the cemetery I would walk in as a kid,
I grew up right down the block on Euclid Ave in cypress hills
As an adult I still have a love of old cemeteries ❤️
I visit graveyards since 1965
Greetings from the Netherlands
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 never knew Bert Lahr was buried here in NYC. I definitely have to pay my respects to him one day. The Wizard of Oz is one of my all time favorite films. I'm so glad I saw this video. Thank you.
