On my way back to NY I stop ed in
Los Angeles and did a little more exploring.This time I combined my love of
cinema,stars and cemeteries,paying a visit to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
This is
the final resting place to more of Hollywood’s founders and stars
than anywhere else in the world. Originally called Hollywood Memorial Park
Cemetery, this is one of the oldest cemeteries in Los Angeles. It is located
in the Hollywood
district of Los Angeles, adjacent to the north wall, or back, of Paramount Studios. Founded
in 1899, Hollywood Forever Cemetery is now listed on the National Register of
Historic Sites. Visitors come from all over to pay respects to Johnny Ramone,
Cecil B. DeMille, Jayne Mansfield, Rudolph Valentino, Douglas Fairbanks, and
hundreds more of Hollywood’s greatest stars.
The cemetery is active and regularly hosts community
events, including music events and summer movie screenings on weekends,bringing
an average of 3.000 people.
One of my all times favorites
How fitting for all this stars to be buried under the Hollywood sign in the background
A bientôt,
