      I enjoyed visiting Tolochenaz in the 1990s. I went late in the day and nobody was there, so I got to touch her grave and pay my respects in private. The graveyard is simple with countryside views. At the time there was a small museum in the town with her Oscar and acting things on display, but I think there was a falling out with the family & museum and her things were returned. Her house is very pretty too, just like Audrey.

    I am so stoked that Freddie Mercury was included in this video. Montreux was such a big part of Queen's and Freddie's and rock & roll's history. This is where Queen and David Bowie collaborated to write "Under Pressure". His having probably the best voice in rock music, if you really want to hear (and appreciate) his vocal talents listen to his operatic collaboration w/ Monserrat Caballé and their song, " Barcelona"... It will blow you away! Love you, Balsara!

      @WinGate Mose No truer words. Freddie is a legend, to lesser degree. But more over he's a music God! Singer, songwriter, entertainer. Covered many genres and styles of music. A voice that will not soon be replaced. I heard Killer Queen when I was 9, back in '73, and I knew he had "it" w/out knowing what "it" actually was. But I saw it. Its just so sad that people did really get him, or Queen for that matter, until after his death. If only he could've seen what he has brought to the world in the last 30 years.

    On the day Audrey Hepburn died I was at Paramount Studios for a taping of the television show "Cheers". We were running a bit late when I saw a bay window display case of Academy awards. For some reason I began walking towards it. My friends said we would be late and miss the taping. All I said was, "I have to see it first." On the right side of the display case at the bottom was Miss Hepburn's Oscar for "Roman Holiday". I had never been to the studio before and could not possibly have known it was there. I will remember that day forever.

    Thank you for this video. I am Swiss and actually grew up in Founex, a neighbouring village to Céligny. For some reason I never visited the graveyard (which is the Old Cemetery, not used for burials anymore) and didn't know that Alistair MacLean was buried there as well.
    Richard Burton would sometimes shop at the little grocery store in my village and I believe every member of my family but me bumped into him at some stage. Oh well.
    It's lovely to think that after such a tumultuous life in the limelight, his final resting place is in this peaceful, tranquil little graveyard. I read a beautiful thing somewhere about it : (roughly translated) "His tombstone, simply carved in granit that we would like to imagine gaelic, is overrun with the softest moss, as green as a Welsh valley." (Definitely more poetic in French.)
    Now I will watch the rest of the video and no doubt love it. 😊
