We all know the drill, once a new Hollywood Graveyard drops, you drop everything you are doing and watch.
I have to laugh because I did that very thing!
Same
Me too
You are so right
Basically yes
The cemetery in Compton is beautiful, but the fact that it's in Compton likely keeps a lot of people away.
An extremely sincere thank you for this one. Your videos showing the "big name" stars are great, but you have done such a service reminding us that behind the stars there were so many talented actors, performers, and musicians that aren't household names. You give these people the respect and dignity in death that they deserve.
Good job with this video Arthur, it was very enjoyable. Thank you very much.
My thoughts exactly Bro 👌
Isn't that the truth! Always looking forward to the next one.
I recall the rap song" Crack Killed Apple Jack" as a teen. That is sad one of the singers was killed.
I was more of a Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers kid, but I liked Romper Room as a 70's child. Never knew Sally dance with bubbles, I will have to check out her film.
Phil Hartman's ashes were scattered off Catalina as well. Great job once again.👍
Thank you so much for highlighting so many of the Lesser Afro-American stars that long since been forgotten once again I thank you from the bottom of my heart❤
Only Hollywood Graveyard could take me away from March Madness. Thanks for another great video.
I wrote some of these bios for Find A Grave....it is a great honor to see them visited and remembered on Hollywood Graveyard....I wish we could do something for some of these stars who are buried in community graves or unmarked graves. I would donate for sure! Thank You, Arthur!
Thank you Arthur for taking a picture of Carl White's grave and posting it to his memorial!
Here here
Umm, 😂!
Gone but never ever forgotten
The laundry can wait. Arthur is on.
I loved Nurse Malik McGrath on ER. Dearon Thompson, a.k.a. Deezer D, also had Malik do some raps over the hospital intercom when the staff was bored/not busy.
Deezer D was also in Fear of a Black Hat as one of the Jam Boys!!!!!
I remember as a child back in ‘66- 69 watching Romper Room and hoping she would say “and I see John”….and being so please when I actually believed she saw me!
I appreciate those highlighted on today’s tour, especially Mary Ford. She has a place in my life story. Her hit in 1954, “I Really Don’t Want to Know,” asked how many arms have held you, how many lips have kissed you. My mother told me she sang that song to my father as they were on their way to elope! 😂
Great story😊
This is a reminder that, for every big name actor, there are a whole number of people who were not big names who also starred in or supported the making of entertainment. This makes me think of everyone in general. Fame isn't everything and death is the great equalizer.
I often find that while watching these great videos it makes me think of my own mortality, and life is but a thing we are loaned and it can be taken from us at any time and no matter how we live and we'll we do , we all end up the same.
My grandma when she was 13 snuck into a Sally Rand show in the mid 30's, It was being held in the Brady Lake Electric Park just outside of Kent, OH. Rand's show was a big deal, and my grandma was not going to miss it. My grandma spoke about it like the most beautiful show she had ever seem.
How you find all this background information, on even lesser known people…astounds me!!! You do it every single time….you find info on the cremated people without markers….I’m just in awe of your tenacity, and drive to give these people voices, and teach us about them. Well done!!! I am a complete Tapophile..so I love this so much!! Thank you. And thank you for my Hollywood Graveyard T-Shirt!!!❤️ I wear it everywhere.
(I bought this T-Shirt, it was not given to me)
I can't click on these videos quick enough. Thanks Arthur Dark.
Back in the late 40's and early 50's when the Globetrotters traveled around the county, going into small towns playing against the locals, my father was on one of those city teams and played against Boid Buie. My father has said of him, "He was simply incredible, watching him play, you would not even think that he had just one arm!"
Superb discussion of Gladys Bentley - respectful, compassionate and sensitive to the complexities of the historical shifts through which she lived
Thanks I appreciate you ❤
There are many pretenders to the throne, and some do admirable work, but the sun shines brightest on Dark.
Hampton Hawes' recordings are still widely available and sound wonderful. _Raise Up Off Me_ is a great read and still in print. His pardon from President Kennedy came just _3 months_ before the assassination. Luck was with him.
Lucille Bogan’s song that had to be bleeped made me laugh lol
Look the songs up on RUclips you'll laugh your ass off lmao 😂
I love that you remember the supporting, lesser-known stars and hope you will do that again! Doodles Weaver can also be seen in "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" as the hardware store owner.
Another wonderful video Arthur! It's such a shame how young so many of the entertainers were at the time of their deaths!
I noticed that too over all his Uploads. People dying at 51 from heart attacks😳. But it was a different time. Everybody🚬 & drank to excess. And the stress of being an entertainer without all the “conveniences” or “luxuries” available to them today. So Sad 😢😞😢
Arthur dark would you fulfill my suggestion by visiting the grave of john philip sousa please and you are a sweet kind guy on youtube ♥️
Yes I kept saying wow, so young
I"m glad you guys are back.🙂
Thank you so much,Arthur🪦 RIP to all of these legends💔
Absolutely shameful that that cemetery was neglected because of the people buried there. Bravo to the gal that spearheaded the revival. My fave was Miss Mary Ann's grave. I had Romper stompers when small. I remember them as being yellow with green string.
Forest Lawn Covina Hills! Very familiar with it, as my grandparents are buried there. My grandfather was a veteran of WWII and could have had him and my grandmother buried at the National Cemetery in Riverside, but, they bought their plots there in Covina along with a lot of their neighbors and friends. Back in the day when going door-to-door selling cemetery plots was the fashion, along with going to town with onions on their belts.
In and out is the best bugger joint …
My fav when I’m in California
I so love when Hollywood Graveyard begins and I hear Giuseppe Vasapolli's music♥️
Something about his music just makes me happy😊💫
Giuseppe is also very awesome! I always listen to his music, an want some of it for my wedding/funeral 😅
As everyone goes to check out Till The Cows Come Home by Lucille Bogan. Hooooo boy I didn't know they made music like that back then!
Yay! So happy to see another video.
Welcome back Arthur with another great video of celebrities 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I wouldn't call Mary Ford a small star. Also, I was fan of "Romper Room," when I was a child and I can still chant her "Magic Mirror Spell," over 50 years later. Very cool to see "Miss Mary Ann."
I'm guilty I did drop what I was doing and went right to this video. Seemed so long ago since the last one but only around a month ago. Thank you for making these videos to share with us who look forward to them. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
It's nice to see a Canadian actress in this video, for once we're not forgotten.
Dudley Dickerson made every Stooges short he was in even funnier than just the Stooges. Thank you for sharing his eternal resting place.
Appreciate you highlighting a charity that’s cleaning up their cemetery. That’s awesome!
Onions?
Thank you for remembering both Nobu McCarthy and Gladys Bentley.
Thank you again Arthur! Hope you are safe and well! Best wishes!
I just looked up Priscilla Lawson (RIP) when the old "Flash Gordon" serial popped up on my RUclips Suggested Views - I liked Dale (Jean Rogers), but Princess Aura was awesome (Lawson).
Thank you for remembering all these great entertainers & artists.
Malik was one of my favourite characters on ER! May Deezer Rest in Peace.
Welcome back guys
Dropped my jaw at Lucille Bogan....didn't know they had that language in 1933 LOL
Fritz Truran must have known John Basilone. Basilone died at Iwo Jima on February 19 1945. Exactly 21 years before my birth. Wow.
Thank you. I like the long videos 😊
Another wonderful documentary. I always learn something about the people you post. At the 22:19 mark, Freeman Davis is a Prince Hall Scottish Rite Mason 32nd degree. Many black entertainers and sportsmen were or are Prince Hall Freemasons like Shaq. Rest in Peace Brother.
Another one 😊 thanks Arthur !
Just discovered that the Compton mausoleum was also seen in Phantasm 3......was trying to find it's location. Thank you Hollywood Graveyard.
Mate, the withdrawals had already started! Slight itch when driving past cemeteries, sleep depravation etc
Thanks for the upload
Interesting to hear my state of Vermont is also an Avenue in the cemetery in a California cemetery where Big Joe Turner lies in peace. From a proud Vermonter, thank you Joe for the music
Please find Burt Bacharach’s grave. He was truly a musician
I saw a documentary where a common grave in LA was being filled in the 2000s. It was awful. They open up the cremains boxes and containers and pour the ashes into the ground, all mixed together. Ashes fly everywhere, all over the coroners staff, the grass, everywhere. I thought maybe they buried the urns or boxes but no. Hundreds, thousands, of cremains all mixed together in a horrific plume of dust. I'll never forget it.
I saw that also. The part where the old man died alone, and they just threw all of his possessions in the trash was sad.
@@620john620 Yes. That was the one. It really affected me. 💕
ruclips.net/video/ErooOhzE268/видео.html A certain kind of death.
ruclips.net/video/ErooOhzE268/видео.html
I really enjoyed this video. I often wondered what happened to some of them. I remember when I was a child and watched Miss Sally from Romper Room.
Good evening from London Arthur.😊
What a great job, showcasing character actors. Some of these people were fundamental to the plot ,and they deserve their moment in the Hollywood Graveyard spotlight. Thank you for bringing us Hollywood Graveyard,I will continuously go back and watch the older episodes ❤.
Romper Room. One of the few earlier memories I have. ❤
Interesting video. I had no idea that Deezer D had died. I remember him on ER as Malik (Mah-leek) McGrath. He was good. RIP. Most of the people in this one, I had never heard of but were still worthy of being remembered. Thank you.
I love learning about the people who helped the stars achieve greatness! Also the silent stars who we need to remember! They were amazing talents!
My late husband was a lifeguard for LA County. The reference is sentimental. Thank you ❤
I have missed you Arthur.love the history lesson.great video💐🏵🌹🌺🌻🌼
I also love that Arthur enjoys the stained glass in these buildings as much as I do….just beautiful. Thankyou Arthur 😘🙋♀️
Finally welcome back Arthur , we missed you! More videos and with longer duration! it's never enough your vlog ! 😄
Are you going to look for Tom Sizemore's resting place?
Everytime Mary Anne King looked through her magic mirror, I thought she could see ME! 😊❤ In and Out Burger was also where I used to live in Oregon. I miss their Marionberry Shakes. I had never heard of Sally Rand but having lived in San Francisco I had heard of the Music Box. How sad to go unclaimed at the Crematorium and then buried with a marker bearing nothing but a NUMBER. 😔❤
Liked & shared.
I really enjoyed this video of some of the not so well known entertainers. Thank you! I never knew Sally Rand performed into her 60's right on. 👏
Dudley! He was one of my favorites on the Stooges and gave me so much laughter. One of my favorites was on the train with a lion. His "Help, help! I'm losing my mind!" had everyone laughing. You can hear it in the background. 🤣
I was born and raised in Dana Point CA . I grew up going to Catalina island often. Very interesting to know that there are famous people buried there. I loved renting a golf cart and drive around the island especially going to Wrigley's mansion
Heyyyyyyyyy 🙋🏽♀️Arthur💜💜💜. I was recently on medical leave and binged every single episode - even the ones I’d seen before. That left me wanting more so imagine my joy and excitement when I clicked on RUclips today 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 Your hair has Grown 💜🥰💜😂💜 THANK YOU 🙏🏽 For the new Upload. I can sleep peacefully tonight 😅😂😅❤
Clay Matthew ||| looks like his grandfather.
I found your site a couple of weeks ago. I have binge watched each episode starting with your first posted episode. I had no idea how addictive it would be. I have enjoyed every one, even those that scared me a little.
Omg!!! I was born and raised in Compton. It's my dream to take over this cemetery one day!! Wish I knew you guys were there. Thanks for coming to the city
#ProudComptonGirl!
I can never get enough of this smooth, silky voice with the BEST pronunciation EVER! Thanks for another treat Mr. Dark 😍
Brilliant video for a Sunday night. 👍
As an Angeleno I'm familiar with the tragedy that is Woodlawn. It's so nice, yet sad, that family members had to take charge of restoring it to it's glory. I hope for their continued success.
Today I learned what people from LA are called. I like it a lot lol
Forest Lawn Corvina, the younger sister is a really beautiful place!! Those Biblical mosaics were stunning! And so many legends and fascinating individuals are buried there….it surprises me how many names come back to me ! I was surprised to see Miss Mary Ann from Romper room!! I’m in the U.K. and they must have shared the show with the BBC as we had a Romper room show too, but with a Miss Rosalind! I can remember trying to hide from her magic mirror, when she looked through it and said “ I can see Peter, and Andrew! There’s Susan too!” But she never saw me! 🤭😉😉 Funny the things we used to believe as children. In those days the TVs had big tubes at their backs, which took a little while to cool down. When the tv was switched off there would be a small white dot left on the middle which gradually got smaller and smaller…in my childish wisdom I used to get my eye up close, believing I could still see the people in the tv set!!…..of course I never did!
Sally Rand was very daring and looked very beautiful with the fans….not so sure the large bubble did much for me….anyone else like it? At least she was very game, continuing to do into her 60’s!! Thankyou again Arthur…this was fascinating,as always! Best wishes from the U.K.! 🙋♀️😘👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰
Arthur, we love you man. I’m so excited for a new one
Hay Arthur, I’ve missed you, so wonderful to see you back! As soon as your post alerted me, I started watching. Love your channel.
Always worth the wait brilliant work as always
Thanks for visiting Covina Forest Lawn. You walked right over my grandparents there!
So, according to Gladys Bentley's headstone, her mother was only 11 years old when Gladys was born.
Noticed that too.
Wow Wee! So many Cemeteries in LA County! Covina Forest Lawns Mosaic Biblical Murals were Incredibly Beautiful! I enjoyed Mary King’s Marker it Perfectly represented who She truly Was! How Lovely those who’s Ashes we’re not forgotten with some kind of Marker! The Compton Angeles Abbey looking like in India was Breathtaking the Artistry inside and out was Remarkable! How Poetic to see so many Wonderful Black Entertainers at Lincoln Memorial Park! What a Treat to end at Catalina Island in Avalon with such a Sweet Statue of Old Ben the Seal! As Always a Amusing and Fun Tour Arthur! Thanks for taking us Along with You it was Pure Joy! 😍💁♀️😎
Hello Hollywood Graveyard Fans and Mr.Dark. Hooray 🎉🎉🎉 another stellar video.. much anticipate. Much love from Ga.
Yet another wonderful program. Thank you
OMG. I used to hear “good do bee” when I was a kid (in the 1980s)… with little context, except that it was a positive, and I always thought it was spelled “dooby.” But finally… an origin story. And an actual connection of sorts to The Romper Room, who knew. Thanks Mary Ann King (and Arthur!)
I’m so excited to see a new Hollywood Graveyard. Your videos are special and I always learn something new.
You need to do one on the stars of country music. I'm sure that you heard about the death of Jeff Cook, who was a member of the group Alabama.
Deezer D actually had released a few albums during his life. His debut album is "Livin Up In A Down World" (1997) which I bought back in the day. Although he wasn't a massive star in music more than he was as an actor, I was a huge fan of his. It's so sad that he died so young
I remember him on ER. He was a great actor.
Also, Phil Hartman's cremated remains were scattered over Santa Catalina Island's Emerald Bay. He has a cenotaph in Minnesota as well.
When I couldnt imagine you, Arthur, going above and beyond, you amaze me. Catalina Island. Bravo! Another one! Just fascinating!
Thank you SO MUCH for featuring Woodlawn Celestial Gardens and many of the Black musicians buried there! It was wonderful to see so many acknowledged, thank you so so much! Its important not to lose this history.🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for all your hard work always enjoy
So well done. So respectful. Many thanks. I plan to go visit Sally Rand. My father went and visited her performance at the 1933 Chicago worlds fair as a teen. So I am told.
I still watch the 3 Stooges, so I remember that actor. I also remember the actress from Karate Kid 2. And I’m familiar with the Matthews football family. So this was still very interesting to me.
I ❤love these videos of Hollywood grave yard about the Hollywood stars vickie napa ca
Man, there's nothing like a Sunday afternoon with HG. And how wonderful it is to keep these "minor leaguers" in the public consciousness. Now they are truly immortal.
I was just there yesterday and checked out some of my favorite celebrities.
Love the videos Arthur
