    I find it so interesting that in Georgia in a cemetery like this there is an attached medal vase to these flat plaques in the ground usually containing silk flowers. I've noticed the ones in California never or rarely have flowers at the gravesites - either real or silk. When you drive into one of these in the south all you can see are rows and rows of these vases on top of these plaques with colored flowers in them. It's gorgeous.

    Nice video. I love this cemetery. My parents, grandparents and many other friends and relatives are buried in this area. Did you see Jimmy Durante? He is across from Rita Hayworth on the other side of the Grotto. Also, Pat O'Brien is a little farther north from Jimmy. Thanks for posting!

    This cemetery is very easy to get to now that the new Expo Line runs from Downtown LA to near the Santa Monica Pier. Culver City, home of MGM and Sony is the city in which this cemetery is located and this one is near Hillside Memorial the famous Jewish cemetery where people like Jack Benny are buried. On thinking about it though, it would be better to rent a car since these are very high hills and it's best to go from the top down. Most of these cemeteries are great when it comes to visitors as George just commented about the gift shop here. Watch out for places like Forest Lawn Glendale though were people like Walt Disney, Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and others are buried because they don't allow you to get to close to much in the great mausoleums there. Things are normally blocked off to access. I find it weird since Forest Lawn Glendale has always advertised itself as a tourist attraction. One person buried at Forest Lawn Glendale which blew me away was Frank L Baum author of the Wizard of Oz stories.

    While at an internment , my mom and another mourner stood right in front of Ray Bolger's crypt in the mausoleum. Ray Bolger for any young people watching, played the Tinman in "The Wizard of Oz"

      @Kelly Johnson you're right, Ray Bolger was the Scarecrow, mixed up characters, didn't realize that at the time. Thanks 😉

    my dad was buried here in 1968, my mother in the early 90's, i knew about Bing Crosby and Sharon Tate but not the others you named. interesting!
    a little creepy to watch a video of the cemetery (hoping you wouldn't stumble across my folks stone) but since i am out of the area and haven't been there in a very long time, i appreciated seeing the view! thanks for sharing.

    MANY stars? Really? Couldn't tell by the video. It's 9.75 minutes of Sharon Tate's grave & surrounding grounds ...and 18 seconds of Lugosi, Hayworth, Crosby & the "McGees".

    The streets would be Washington and National at the Hal Roach Studios, now a vacant lot where a car dealer use to be. Just west on Washington Bl. you will see the Culver City Studios formally DesiLu Studios where they filmed all the Gomer Pyle and Andy Griffith shows along with countless other shos we remember from the 60's.
    Allyson Hayes is also buried at Hollycross.

    Does the cemetery provide a booklet to let people locate graves of the Hollywood stars. Fibber McGee and Molly have a stone that does not tell their story. Even Bing Crosby is simple, or that of Rita Hayworth. You'd think the family of Bela Lugosi would have done something regarding his characters.

  • @italiangirlsrule

    The headstone must have been changed once Sharon’s mother passed as I’ve seen a video of her mother at Sharon’s grave being interviewed & of course putting flowers on her grave where the headstone was different. I think I would want to be buried with my daughter as well. Such a tragedy that didn’t need to happen. So many lives changed forever and unnecessarily on that day Sharon and the others were killed, and the world saw what true evil was. All those that lost their lives that day in 1969 was shocking and tragic, but for a mother-to-be, Sharon, and her almost to term child, Paul, having been killed especially breaks my heart. I’ve prayed for their souls, their loved ones, but have also prayed we never see that evil happen ever again, but sadly we have. I’ll never understand anyone who can do to another human being what was done to them…So, so sad!

    Sad to see graves flattened to the ground to make it easy to mow the grass. Terrain lacking the upright grave stones ... final resting place for so many Hollywood stars.

    It always fascinates me why we spend so time pursing a BA, BS, MD, JD, BSE, MA, MS, BSE, MSE or PhD, which we will only need for 40 or 60 years, yet we spend so little time pursuing GOD Who will determine our destinies for all eternity. Not a sermon, just a thought. "A word to the wise is sufficient." -- Blessings, John
