I was in Riley's children's hospital with Ryan. RIP Ryan. He was precious. He was in a containment tent when I was down the hall. He would wave when I walked by. Famous people would visit. David Hasselhoff visited us.
I felt just horrible for that young man!! From the interviews I saw of him, he seemed to have such a positive outlook on things and yet at the same time such a lonely and tormented life. RIP Ryan, the world will never forget you!!!!
as a musician, Les Paul is a god. Millions of the world over have him to thank for presenting the world the single most iconic guitar next to the stratocaster. I salute him and his contributions to the music world. Thank you, Les.
A lesson in smoke prevention. Jim Varney and the lady that sung" I know what boys like ". Would have had a longer life if they would have quit smoking.
As a Cleveland native I was very pleased to see Lakeview Cemetery finally portrayed, not to mention the rest of the Cleveland suburbs cemeteries. Bravo.
I had the privilege of meeting and getting to know "Oscar Mayer" when he was based at Disney World on Main street. I worked there for many years and he is one of my most favorite acquaintances ever!!! So glad his memorial was shown!
I'm overjoyed you mentioned Ryan White! I was a kid when he passed away... He saved so many lives! His mom still speaks and does work on his behalf to this day!
Omg....so awesome to see graves of such greats as David Ruffin of The Temptations and Levi Stubbs of The Four Tops....just blows me away....two incredible Motown legends...RIP.
David Ruffin might have benefited from Smokey Robinson’s genius, but as a man, he was very flawed. Abusive boyfriend and husband, narcissist who insisted on riding in separate limousines from the other Temptations. Just more examples why we shouldn’t idolize anyone, really.
I live in Lexington Kentucky. Jim Varney is buried in the same cemetery as my daughter. The cemetery is absolutely beautiful. Has over 300 different varieties of trees.
I did the Les Paul part. Thank you so much for featuring him! He is such an integral part of Waukesha’s history. One of our major highways through town is called Les Paul pkwy. One of the middle schools was named for him a few years back. In downtown, there’s big 12ft guitars all over honoring him. The bar he started playing at(Club 400) is still there and has that old school feel.
I agree! I grew up in Waukesha and hearing about Les Paul. My family is buried in Prairie Home. I was going to try to film his grave for this when visiting my family graves but I didn't make it back to Waukesha before the deadline for this. I'm glad you were able to get this in the video :) I did the part on Hartford Union Cemetery.
This episode was a treasure trove! So many people I loved and admired. I was happy to see Alan Freed’s resting place. There were many adults who thought once Alan Freed was ruined by the payola scandal rock & roll would die. Nope. Not happening. I’m grateful for his introducing the world to R&R. Before my newspaper days, I was flattered to hear from my writing instructor that he believed I could be a humorist like Erma Bombeck. I never had my own column, but I did become a feature writer. Thanks to Erma for paving the way for women as newspaper humorists. I was very excited to see the grave of James Thurber. I became a fan of his writing in junior high, my favorite work of his being the fantasy novel The Thirteen Clocks. And Dave Thomas. My mother worked at Wendy’s and really liked working there. When Dave died, we both cried. Mother said it was like losing a member of the family. Another great show! Thanks to all who contributed, and thank you, Arthur, for putting it all together.
I and the rest of the Green Lawn Abbey Preservation Association thank you for including my footage of Howard Thurston's resting place! There are several other people interred there that could have been included, but there's only so much time in a day!
Yes these cemetery strolls are so relaxing and entertaining at the same time. I drop everything to watch when a new video makes its debut. Thanks again!
My daughter and I stroll through cemeteries, read the inscriptions on the headstones, think about the young and old buried there and the lives they lived or could have lived. For whatever reason, it gives us a peaceful feeling and believe the spirit/soul buried there know we cared.
I love this channel and always get so excited to see new content! I am very honored that you chose a couple of our submissions for this episode! Watching your channel with my daughter has sparked her interests in cemeteries and the history behind the people buried there!
I always feel like a kid in a candy store whenever I get the notification of these amazing videos lol Thank You Arthur for entertaining us always! Keep up the awesome work brother.
An incredible collection here, I would have thought that Rosemary Clooney would have been buried in either "Hollywood Forever" or "Woodland Lawn". Ryan White in his short life became a hero despite his illness from AIDS. I followed that story and it was tragic. In all another great video and want to thank all who contributed to this video.
@@cross75man75 thanks. I just looked it up. I was thinking about the fact that Arthur didn't include Miguel. But, of course, his last name wasn't Clooney.
It’s cool that they showed where Regis Philbin, Mike Ilitch, The Dodge Brothers, Buick, Gerald Ford, James A, Garfield, and Benjamin Harrison are buried i’m from Rochester Hills, Michigan so I’m honored that they honored people from Michigan in this episode, fun fact: Gerald Ford was born July 14, 1913 and I was born on his birthday on July 14, 1992 and he is also an Eagle Scout and I am also an Eagle Scout 🦅
Man, if you just would've played Center on the Michigan football team you could've added even more. Likewise on the Michigan stuff from a Downriver guy
Yeah why did it mean so much to you? Benjamin isn’t truly gone ever he means everything to me. I love him very much. Benjamin’s spirit lives on forever. I will never ever forget about my beloved Ben
@@peggyclause8847 That is so true but I'm speaking of the comparison of him to others who aren't forgotten. He was just as talented, if not more, than many who are still spoken of today.
I grew up in one of the “Little Italy” neighborhoods in Cleveland. My great great grandfather was good friends with Eliot Ness, so good that Ness would tip him off to federal raids. The house I grew up in has tunnels running underneath that connected many of the houses for storing bathtub gin during those raids. Was always fun peeking in those tunnels as a kid.
Excellent 👍 I could have sworn a saw a stone shaped like a chair. I would have liked to hear that story.My thanks to Arthur and all the people that summited videos.It is very much appreciated.
Clear and articulate voice............Also touching on the past lives of those who entertained us and giving us the trivia and age and deaths of these past souls. ....... May they all R.I.P................
I cant lie, seeing these videos humbles me even more knowing that one day we're all gonna have to leave this earth one day. Ive been battling a fear of death for the past year (you would think watching these videos would make it worse LOL) but im just addicted! :)
Ahhhhhh one hour and eight minutes of peace in a crazy world. I was so happy to get this notification. As always, informative, educational and relaxing at the same time. Thank you Arthur for all the time and information you put into these videos. They are greatly appreciated.
It is, it just baffled me why his casket was never placed in anything, it looks like they just set him down & called it a day, then did the same with his wife. Poor guy actually died from staph infection/sepsis. We toured this cemetery in 2018 between the rock & roll and NFL halls of fame.
Thank you for this special. I'm from Detroit so I teared up a little bit when you showed Mt. Olivet Cemetery since my grandparents are buried there and because crime is so bad, my family can't even go and visit them anymore. Also, thank you for Mike Illitch. As a huge Red Wings fan, his passing hit me hard, especially since he was in the middle of building anew arena for the team and passed before it was finished. 😪
@@happy629 - The cemetery is located in one of the worst crime-ridden areas of Detroit and there have been multiple reports of people in the past going into the cemetery to visit their loved ones and getting assaulted, robbed, car jacked, etc. There used to be back gates that were opened, which worked perfectly because that's where most of my family is located, but they haven't had those gates opened in about 20 years now. It's sad that we can't even go out and plant flowers anymore. Even bringing additional people as lookouts doesn't help because there are crypts and large family plots that criminals have hidden behind.
@kelly lee….it’s truly a shame…my parents grew up in the area and went to Denby High…the area was good then and even though the houses were old, people took great pride in them and their neighborhood
I discovered your channel 2 weeks ago… And holy smoke I love it, from the picaresque and almost abandoned cemetery, to the city centered one… You share with us the life of our beloved. It also shows me an entire culture which I don’t really know, humorists, musicians or actors from a very large year range. I will definitely focus on the cemeteries here in France.
Thank you Arthur for bringing these inspiring stories from the grave. I love how you narrate the stories of their lives and what they did to bring inspiration to a lot of people. Please keep them coming.
One of my favorite movies of all time is "The Untouchables" . Kevin Costner played Eliot Ness In movie version. Thank you for visiting Rosemary Clooney also I enjoyed her proformance on an episode of "ER". Her nephew played a doctor on the show. Thanks for visiting everyone else also.
What is so fascinating about HG is how many talented people we lost over the years that either helped carved the world to what it is today or helped us Grow up and laugh and entertain us. Such amazing stories. Ty Arthur!
I always look forward to looking at Hollywood Graveyard and hearing the smooth, soothing, warmth of Arthur's voice! No matter what I want to watch while browsing if I see Hollywood Graveyard I immediately go to it! I love also that he is so respectful to these great people. Thank you Arthur for being around so long and hope you will always be there.
I have many family members buried at Woodlawn in Detroit and have visited that beautiful cemetery many times over the years being born and raised in Detroit. Love that you featured it (and other Detroit cemeteries) again. 😊🌺
I have watched everyone of your videos, but for me this was the best. It has hit very close to home. Georgie Molchan, or Little Oscar is a cousin buried in the same cemetery as my parents, grandparents, and uncle & aunt. It was always funny to see him at the supermarket with friends, and tower over him. He had a sister that was a midget too. I a
Saddest words ever spoken - "and that concludes our tour." Thank you, Arthur, for another great presentation. Looking forward to the next one. Stay well and thanks again for sharing al these wonderful memories of persons gone past with us! Time for my hot coca in my "Hollywood Forever" mug! Hope to see you soon.
I remember James Best as "The Guitar Player" from "The Andy Griffith Show" back in the 1960s. He only appeared two times, but these episodes with him are some of my favorites.
Ron... There's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't do this episodes. This is also keeping them alive and helping to let therm rest in peace. These stories absolutely have to be told.
Absolutely loved this viewer's tour. Everyone did a fantastic job and I especially loved Jim Varney and Benjamin Orr from the Cars. Both taken too soon.
I originally put this on because knew my Dad would be interested in Regis Philbin’s grave. I was amazed at how much history I learned and was reminded of. Thank you and everyone who helped create this.
Thank you Arthur and those that took part. This was the best yet. Dick York - needs a much better grave - sad that this is all that he is given. A very good actor and very funny. .
This may be one of the most beautiful, yet melancholy, videos I’ve ever watched on RUclips. (I especially loved the famous celebrities’ gravestones in OHIO. 🤠) Thank you for posting this nostalgic walk down memory lane. 🪦🙂🪦
My fiance and I went out last summer and filmed several of these in the video! Thanks very much for putting these together. She introduced me to the channel not long after we met and I've become a fan as well.
Fun Fact: at 19:20, the wilted flower on James Thurber's marker was reproduced from his illustrated fable "The Last Flower" (1939), which he considered his masterpiece. It's brief, haunting and timely as ever, well worth checking out.
I’m glad that I filmed that monument. That entire hill is graves from the 1918 pandemic. Truly heartbreaking to know that we’d gone thru that just 100 years ago and here we are doing it again. My condolences on the loss of your grandmother. Mine got that flu as well but she “recovered.” She didn’t die but was never as healthy as she had been.
It's amazing how this brings back so many memories. Out of sight, out of mind I guess, but it's so enjoyable to be like "oh I remember that/them". My absolute fav 🖤
These are marvelous, touching in content with excellent production values. How appropriate to end this offering with the tribute to Dick York, who suffered so and died a sad and lonely death. May he and all others Rest In Peace, free from pain.
Another great tour. Your contributors are great, but your lively, informative narration brings it all together. My daughter and I love it when we see that you’ve posted a new “Hollywood Graveyard”.
I wish you had been able to include the grave of Mia Zapata, who was the lead singer of The Gits. She was murdered in 1993 at the age of 27, just when the band was on the verge of major success. Nirvana, Pearl Jam other Seattle bands contributed money to hire a private investigator to continue looking into the crime when the case went cold. Joan Jett also contributed & went on tour with the remaining members of The Gits to raise funds for the investigation. Mia's murderer was finally found & arrested in 2003, He died in prison in 2021. Mia is buried at Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, KY.
I agree. A visit to Louisville cemeteries is incomplete without a visit to Cave Hill. Perhaps they missed it because they were lost. Kentucky is in the South and not the Midwest.
@@donnanoe6736 There's always a chance they may revisit Kentucky (they probably just included it in the Midwest due to its close proximity to Ohio). If anyone who is a fan of this channel & lives in Louisville, I personally would love if you took some footage of Mia's grave and others at Cave Hill to include in future "Hollywood Graveyard" videos. Her story was so tragic and she was such a talented artist.
I worked on the grounds crew at Greenlawn in Fort Wayne when Dottie Collins died. I buried her. Block 19 just south of the mausoleum. Being that A League of Their Own is one of my favorite movies, it was very cool to be the one who got to lay her to rest.
I am loving this series. My grand parents used to live and farm the "Point Farm" in Ohio where President Benjamin Harrison grew up and was given to his father by his grandfather President William Henry Harrison. Hopefully more submissions can made in the future and perhaps there can be a part two for all of the states you cover. This was fascinating. Thank you for sharing and compiling this Arthur. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵
I've met so many of the stars I see on Arthur Dark's clips but the one on my dear friend Dick York makes me kinda sad. I spent time with Dick and his wife Joey in Rockford, Michigan in 1992 just before his death as we were working on a book together. I'm gonna see if I can get Dick and Joan buried side by side. More on that later. I met Ermma Bombeck in Paradise Valley in the 70's. Sweet women and funny as all get out. RIP all the legends I've had the pleasure of meeting in my 50 year career as a writer/biographer.
When did movie stars become so dark and Satanic? Was it when the elite realized that an actor like Ronald Reagan could become the president? I heard that after the Reagan was shot, he was given two hospital choices. One meant certain death and the other he would survive. Today’s stars are comprised Epstein style. Keep them on a leash.
Thank you Arthur for such wonderful work. You bring all of these dear souls back to our hearts and memories if only for a short time. I know I am grateful to remember such wonderful(mainly ) people in a most relaxing way. God Bless you
I always look forward to these videos. It's like I'm listening to an old friend now and the amount of research for each grave is astounding. I can't travel much, so these videos help me see the world through lessons from the dead. Can't wait to hear what the South's video will be like. Also...I always heard Verne died of suicide related to alcoholism.
One video Idea I've had for a while, is maybe for May the 4th, could you do a Star Wars special, similar to the ones you made for Disney and the Wizard of Oz.
I had no idea Jackie Wilson was buried about 20 minutes from where I live. I'm used to all the celebs at Woodlawn (Which is next to the Cemetery my grandparents are in) but I may need to visit the guy who made it so I can't stop singing his song for weeks after watching Ghostbusters 2
Thank you for including James Jamerson . He was so talented that his parts were not written out for him , as is usually not the case with studio musicians. Unfortunately he worked for Motown who payed poorly. He stayed with them as he was promised the opportunity to record jazz records , which were either never recorded or never released . Frustrated, he became an alcoholic. Please see the film " Standing in the shadows of Motown ". It is excellent.
Marvin Gaye had James play on “What’s Going On”-who showed up to the session drunk! James insisted that he could still play his bass. To prove it James laid down on the floor of the studio and played with no problem. There’s a video of Marvin playing “What’s Going On” via piano and James Jameson on bass right next to the piano
Thank You for the Toledo love! You know there is a marker for the Edmund Fitzgereld in Calvery Cemetary not far from the cenotaph for the Captain. Dave Thomas was an advocate for adoption and did a lot of donations to help places. Wendy was adopted. Dillinger robbed the bank on Monroe Street in Sylvania, Ohio. He is said to still haunt it. The site where Ronnie Van Zant died with his band mates is in Indiana.
I have watched many MANY of your videos but thus far this is the one I love the most...some of my family on my mothers side is buried at Lake View...I remember doing ancestry work and seeing other notables who were also there..in great company. I have been to Ryan Whites resting place twice...the marker is tall as that was something Ryan wanted to be as i have come to understand it. It makes me very happy seeing so many people who I have read about or used their products...such a good feeling seeing just how many truly do touch our daily lives in one form or other. A great editing job Arthur!!

Is it just me or is there others who also enjoy watching these famous graveyards videos at night so chill and relaxing

These videos really do help take my mind off all the madness in the world at the moment. Thank you Arthur Dark.
I wonder what it says about the world that watching a video about death makes us feel more comfortable..
If only the dead could be here.
I think it's more about nostalgia. Remembering some of these people is looking back at less insane and scary times.
I complete agree I’m so chilled out.My anxiety is non existent.
LIFE is short... Enjoy it..

I love that Hollywood Graveyard serves as a history lesson!
James Best was also on one of the Andie Griffith show playing a guitar player that was out of work. Really good show if you get to see it.
A lesson in smoke prevention. Jim Varney and the lady that sung" I know what boys like ". Would have had a longer life if they would have quit smoking.

We should never forget Ryan White. He was so brave. Thank You Arthur for reminding people of his story and short but powerful life.

Omg....so awesome to see graves of such greats as David Ruffin of The Temptations and Levi Stubbs of The Four Tops....just blows me away....two incredible Motown legends...RIP.
Ditto to what you wrote!
I found out several years ago that Levi Stubbs and Jackie Wilson were cousins.
@@Criscilla241 Oh wow, I did not know that!! Thanks for the info!!

@@happy629 - The cemetery is located in one of the worst crime-ridden areas of Detroit and there have been multiple reports of people in the past going into the cemetery to visit their loved ones and getting assaulted, robbed, car jacked, etc. There used to be back gates that were opened, which worked perfectly because that's where most of my family is located, but they haven't had those gates opened in about 20 years now. It's sad that we can't even go out and plant flowers anymore. Even bringing additional people as lookouts doesn't help because there are crypts and large family plots that criminals have hidden behind.
My mother and grandfather are buried at Mt Oliver. I rarely can visit and I'm armed when I do.
@kelly lee….it’s truly a shame…my parents grew up in the area and went to Denby High…the area was good then and even though the houses were old, people took great pride in them and their neighborhood
I discovered your channel 2 weeks ago… And holy smoke I love it, from the picaresque and almost abandoned cemetery, to the city centered one… You share with us the life of our beloved.
It also shows me an entire culture which I don’t really know, humorists, musicians or actors from a very large year range. I will definitely focus on the cemeteries here in France.
Play catch-up with all the videos
Thank you Arthur for bringing these inspiring stories from the grave. I love how you narrate the stories of their lives and what they did to bring inspiration to a lot of people. Please keep them coming.
One of my favorite movies of all time is "The Untouchables" . Kevin Costner played Eliot Ness In movie version. Thank you for visiting Rosemary Clooney also I enjoyed her proformance on an episode of "ER". Her nephew played a doctor on the show. Thanks for visiting everyone else also.
What is so fascinating about HG is how many talented people we lost over the years that either helped carved the world to what it is today or helped us Grow up and laugh and entertain us.
Such amazing stories.
Ty Arthur!
As a Michigan native still living in MI, I find it interesting to see all those famous graves here. Hope some day to visit most if not all of them
Poor Dick York - just a superlative actor. I remember him in the film "Inherit the Wind" with Spencer Tracey as well as other roles.
I always look forward to looking at Hollywood Graveyard and hearing the smooth, soothing, warmth of Arthur's voice! No matter what I want to watch while browsing if I see Hollywood Graveyard I immediately go to it! I love also that he is so respectful to these great people. Thank you Arthur for being around so long and hope you will always be there.
Everything about your videos is amazing, but the most amazing is the amount of research you do to give us a great background of each person's life.
I have many family members buried at Woodlawn in Detroit and have visited that beautiful cemetery many times over the years being born and raised in Detroit. Love that you featured it (and other Detroit cemeteries) again. 😊🌺
I have watched everyone of your videos, but for me this was the best. It has hit very close to home. Georgie Molchan, or Little Oscar is a cousin buried in the same cemetery as my parents, grandparents, and uncle & aunt. It was always funny to see him at the supermarket with friends, and tower over him. He had a sister that was a midget too. I a
It's a dark and rainy night here in Portland OR and this Hollywood Graveyard made it more pleasurable... Loved every minute of it...
Saddest words ever spoken - "and that concludes our tour." Thank you, Arthur, for another great presentation. Looking forward to the next one. Stay well and thanks again for sharing al these wonderful memories of persons gone past with us! Time for my hot coca in my "Hollywood Forever" mug! Hope to see you soon.
I remember James Best as "The Guitar Player" from "The Andy Griffith Show" back in the 1960s. He only appeared two times, but these episodes with him are some of my favorites.
I remember George Peppard from the A Team he was my favourite person!! And I like Dick York too from bewitched he was a lovely person!!!
I sat down for lunch and watched Hollywood Graveyard my lunch Mini Ravioli’s!! My childhood favorite and still to this day!
Hahah not to healthiest food but agree they are GREAT now and then. LOL 👍😋
Ron... There's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't do this episodes. This is also keeping them alive and helping to let therm rest in peace. These stories absolutely have to be told.
It was fun getting footage for the video, Arthur, and a huge thank you for including my 3 clips starting at 47:14
Thank youArthur for editing the viewer’s specials. I must be a labor of love.
Absolutely loved this viewer's tour. Everyone did a fantastic job and I especially loved Jim Varney and Benjamin Orr from the Cars. Both taken too soon.
Benjamin Orr...
Dick York spent his final years working to help people in need. Bless him.
Yes! This is what my Saturday needs. Love when you post a new video!
I originally put this on because knew my Dad would be interested in Regis Philbin’s grave. I was amazed at how much history I learned and was reminded of. Thank you and everyone who helped create this.
I enjoy The A - Team George peppard R I P
It's so cool to get the light history of each person.. If the would have taught like this in school I would have loved to go everyday .
Really like this video it's so interesting thank you.l l love history
Thank you Arthur and those that took part. This was the best yet.
Dick York - needs a much better grave - sad that this is all that he is given. A very good actor and very funny. .
Dick York was in the tv 📺 show bewitched
Wow - you do such a spectacular job with these! Thank you for your thoughtful, sensitive and accurate description of the death of David Mark Berger.
Regis is missed very much on TV. Rest peacefully Regis Philbin.
This may be one of the most beautiful, yet melancholy, videos I’ve ever watched on RUclips. (I especially loved the famous celebrities’ gravestones in OHIO. 🤠)
Thank you for posting this nostalgic walk down memory lane. 🪦🙂🪦
My fiance and I went out last summer and filmed several of these in the video! Thanks very much for putting these together. She introduced me to the channel not long after we met and I've become a fan as well.
Fun Fact: at 19:20, the wilted flower on James Thurber's marker was reproduced from his illustrated fable "The Last Flower" (1939), which he considered his masterpiece. It's brief, haunting and timely as ever, well worth checking out.
Always loved Thurber. Thanks for the recommendation, I will check it out.
We all (fans) wait for these videos with baited breath! Always a joy when they pop-up. Keep up the great work Arthur!
I love all your videos, and this one was especially interesting for a Midwest girl. Thanks to all of the contributors!
Wonderful as always. Thanks Arthur, your narration is always a joy to listen to. Thank you viewers
OMG! My grandmother is buried in Calvary taken by Spanish Flu in 1919. 200 feet from that marker. ❤️
I’m glad that I filmed that monument. That entire hill is graves from the 1918 pandemic. Truly heartbreaking to know that we’d gone thru that just 100 years ago and here we are doing it again. My condolences on the loss of your grandmother. Mine got that flu as well but she “recovered.” She didn’t die but was never as healthy as she had been.
I'm a truck driver and after a long drive it is so relaxing to watch and listen to this guy, I get so excited when a new video comes out
Ps) THANK YOU ARTHUR DARK. Your work is the absolute BEST. I look forward to every episode. Thank you❤️
Yes absolutely. He is so through and he enunciation is perfect.
It's amazing how this brings back so many memories. Out of sight, out of mind I guess, but it's so enjoyable to be like "oh I remember that/them". My absolute fav 🖤
That’s the best part, these people featured bring back memories!!!
These are marvelous, touching in content with excellent production values. How appropriate to end this offering with the tribute to Dick York, who suffered so and died a sad and lonely death. May he and all others Rest In Peace, free from pain.
Dick York was in the tv 📺 show bewitched
Thank you to all that made this possible. Very interesting, educational and entertaining. These tours never disappoint.
This has been a great series. So many great contributions and a wonderful delivery.
Been watching for years . The best at what he does ,like a history lesson .
Another great tour. Your contributors are great, but your lively, informative narration brings it all together. My daughter and I love it when we see that you’ve posted a new “Hollywood Graveyard”.
Wow! Another great video. I’m from Ohio, and I never knew there are so many famous people who were buried here. So very interesting. Thank you. ☮️💟
I wish you had been able to include the grave of Mia Zapata, who was the lead singer of The Gits. She was murdered in 1993 at the age of 27, just when the band was on the verge of major success. Nirvana, Pearl Jam other Seattle bands contributed money to hire a private investigator to continue looking into the crime when the case went cold. Joan Jett also contributed & went on tour with the remaining members of The Gits to raise funds for the investigation. Mia's murderer was finally found & arrested in 2003, He died in prison in 2021. Mia is buried at Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, KY.
I agree. A visit to Louisville cemeteries is incomplete without a visit to Cave Hill.
Perhaps they missed it because they were lost. Kentucky is in the South and not the Midwest.
@@donnanoe6736 There's always a chance they may revisit Kentucky (they probably just included it in the Midwest due to its close proximity to Ohio). If anyone who is a fan of this channel & lives in Louisville, I personally would love if you took some footage of Mia's grave and others at Cave Hill to include in future "Hollywood Graveyard" videos. Her story was so tragic and she was such a talented artist.
I worked on the grounds crew at Greenlawn in Fort Wayne when Dottie Collins died. I buried her. Block 19 just south of the mausoleum. Being that A League of Their Own is one of my favorite movies, it was very cool to be the one who got to lay her to rest.
I am loving this series. My grand parents used to live and farm the "Point Farm" in Ohio where President Benjamin Harrison grew up and was given to his father by his grandfather President William Henry Harrison. Hopefully more submissions can made in the future and perhaps there can be a part two for all of the states you cover. This was fascinating. Thank you for sharing and compiling this Arthur. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵
The Pawn Stars are related to President Harrison
@@michellenainkristinabusch1221 Really? Fascinating. Do you know how?
@@judithmitchell4667 Old Man Harrison said in an episode that they're very distant relatives. Didn't specify how, although I'm assuming cousins.
@@michellenainkristinabusch1221 Thank you. I appreciate it. Have a great day.
I've met so many of the stars I see on Arthur Dark's clips but the one on my dear friend Dick York makes me kinda sad. I spent time with Dick and his wife Joey in Rockford, Michigan in 1992 just before his death as we were working on a book together. I'm gonna see if I can get Dick and Joan buried side by side. More on that later. I met Ermma Bombeck in Paradise Valley in the 70's. Sweet women and funny as all get out. RIP all the legends I've had the pleasure of meeting in my 50 year career as a writer/biographer.
When did movie stars become so dark and Satanic? Was it when the elite realized that an actor like Ronald Reagan could become the president? I heard that after the Reagan was shot, he was given two hospital choices. One meant certain death and the other he would survive. Today’s stars are comprised Epstein style. Keep them on a leash.
Thank you Arthur for such wonderful work. You bring all of these dear souls back to our hearts and memories if only for a short time. I know I am grateful to remember such wonderful(mainly ) people in a most relaxing way. God Bless you
I was so excited when I saw a new episode. Great job everyone.
Thank you Arthur as always, something soothing about your voice when you are narrating the videos, always sad when they end,great job as always 😀
Thanks for covering Lake View Cemetery. There is so much to see, and worth the time to visit.
I love Arthur's Hollywood Graveyard ......and telling the way they died is very interesting
The doctors put their dirty unsterilized fingers into Lincoln's hole in his head to feel for the bullet . No one knew about germs back then
Thank you so much, for this wonderful series. I truly love it!
I always look forward to these videos. It's like I'm listening to an old friend now and the amount of research for each grave is astounding. I can't travel much, so these videos help me see the world through lessons from the dead. Can't wait to hear what the South's video will be like. Also...I always heard Verne died of suicide related to alcoholism.
One video Idea I've had for a while, is maybe for May the 4th, could you do a Star Wars special, similar to the ones you made for Disney and the Wizard of Oz.
I like the "Star Wars" idea but there's the obvious problem. They all died "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... " ;-)
True and funny
@@kingbrutusxxvi correction, they all died along time ago and are now in a galaxy far far away...
Not a galaxy far away, but a cemetery far, far, and far way..
Yep luv Arthur's voice.. and history's of all he gives wonderful acknowledgement to all he mentioned with great dignity..
I had no idea Jackie Wilson was buried about 20 minutes from where I live. I'm used to all the celebs at Woodlawn (Which is next to the Cemetery my grandparents are in) but I may need to visit the guy who made it so I can't stop singing his song for weeks after watching Ghostbusters 2
Me too!
Thank you for including James Jamerson . He was so talented that his parts were not written out for him , as is usually not the case with studio musicians. Unfortunately he worked for Motown who payed poorly. He stayed with them as he was promised the opportunity to record jazz records , which were either never recorded or never released . Frustrated, he became an alcoholic. Please see the film " Standing in the shadows of Motown ". It is excellent.
Marvin Gaye had James play on “What’s Going On”-who showed up to the session drunk! James insisted that he could still play his bass. To prove it James laid down on the floor of the studio and played with no problem. There’s a video of Marvin playing “What’s Going On” via piano and James Jameson on bass right next to the piano
Thank You for the Toledo love! You know there is a marker for the Edmund Fitzgereld in Calvery Cemetary not far from the cenotaph for the Captain.
Dave Thomas was an advocate for adoption and did a lot of donations to help places. Wendy was adopted.
Dillinger robbed the bank on Monroe Street in Sylvania, Ohio. He is said to still haunt it.
The site where Ronnie Van Zant died with his band mates is in Indiana.
I have watched many MANY of your videos but thus far this is the one I love the most...some of my family on my mothers side is buried at Lake View...I remember doing ancestry work and seeing other notables who were also there..in great company. I have been to Ryan Whites resting place twice...the marker is tall as that was something Ryan wanted to be as i have come to understand it. It makes me very happy seeing so many people who I have read about or used their products...such a good feeling seeing just how many truly do touch our daily lives in one form or other. A great editing job Arthur!!
