    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 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'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.

      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.

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 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 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.

      Death and Legacy
      Despite earning millions during his lifetime, Robinson died poor in 1949, at the age of 71. Much of his wealth went to charities in Harlem and beyond before his death. Robinson's funeral, arranged by longtime friend and television host Ed Sullivan, was held at the 369th Infantry Regiment Armory and attended by thousands, including many stars from the entertainment industry. A eulogy by Adam Clayton Powell Sr. (father of Congressman Adam Clayton Powell Jr.) was broadcast over the radio. Robinson was buried in the Cemetery of the Evergreens in Brooklyn, New York.

    I do enjoy your tours very much. In Oldham England we have a church in the town where in the 1800s they buried people in tombs. You can visit and I did a while back. There is a man buried there in the open as you can view the coffins called the giant of Oldham he was an abnormally sized person all those years back and would also be now since he was very tall and wide. I have a video on my channel if you would like to see it of a tour I stumbled on one day. Anyhow keep up the good work, people say it’s morbid looking at the graves of the dead but I say well the very fact they place a headstone there is for people to read and remember. It’s a little off topic but in Oldham we have people buried there that fought and died in the American civil war so those graves are very interesting

We got a special tour in my video because the church has some Australian visitors who had visited the town. I assumed they just have had ancestors from Oldham. Also if you like graveyards a good one and a very interesting one in Oldham is greenacres cemetery that’s where the American civil war fighters are buried. If anyone wants I can do a video tour and post of some of the spectacular graves there just let me know.
