I liked Ed Asner... He and MTM were great together! Speaking of MTM she is buried at Oak Lawn Cemetery in Fairfield CT. My hometown. Her grave is very beautiful and tasteful... it's landscaped 4 times a year for every season. Lamont, if you should come back this way, another excellent Cemetery nearby is Mountain Grove. It's located on the Fairfield/Bridgeport line and has many famous celebrities and historical figures buried there... P.T. Barnum for one and some of his circus people. It's a beautiful place!
You mentioned "so odd that a famous Hollywood actor is buried of all places in this....cemetery...just in the middle of a pretty odd neighborhood in Kansas City....this is really an industrial area." Sometimes a cemetery exist many years, and well before the area it is in is developed around it. Near Dallas where you just left, civil war veteran Isaac Tompkins asked his wife to bury him under a lone oak tree that sat on a bluff in Irving Texas. He died in the late 1800s. The cemetery was on the Tompkins ranch with peaceful meadows and solitude, you know, where the deer and the antelope roam...that sort of thing. After he died the rest of the family were interred in this cemetery over the decades. Irving, Texas and the surrounding areas around Dallas was growing over the years since Isaac died. So much so that the Tompkins family started selling their farm land. They eventually sold all their land. They sold their land on the condition that the cemetery NEVER be moved. And so it became history. The area around the cemetery now includes DFW airport as well as numerous shopping centers. The cemetery has made the news over the years as one of the strangest places in Texas for a graveyard. If you are driving (from DFW airport) east on Highway 183 and you need gas or a quick burger (Whataburger) then you may take the Valley View exit. That grassy area BETWEEN the highway and the exit ramp is where the graves are! Who really notices this area? If you want to visit the grave I guess you have to park at the Whataburger across the street and dart across fast moving traffic on the ramp and hope you don't hit by a car. Please note that if you get killed by a car, you can't stay there and be buried already....it is a Tompkin family only cemetery. 😬 I suspect (don't know) the Asner family final resting place was far different a time ago than it is now.
Ed Asner, along with the rest of the MTM cast, were a huge part of my life when I was a kid. The Mary Tylor Moore show on Saturday night at 9 pm was the highlight of my week (followed by the Bob Newhart Show). It's impossible for young people today to understand how different TV was back then, and how these commercial, network shows we such a major part of all of our lives.
Met Ed Asner when he was helping Nancy Kulp when she ran for office in Central PA. I was absolutely star struck. Ed said "Put er there teach." and he shook my hand. When I left, Ed was wearing a stocking cap and drinking wine.
One of the graves had the name Abramson Frankenstein. That's an impressive name. I love Ed Asner. I remember him from a lot of different things. He was great on all the Fox animated shows. Cleveland Show, Bob's Burgers etc... Very funny.
Speaking of kids shooting each other. I moved from N.Y. to Mississippi then to Alabama. And I have never heard of so many kids killing each other or just the number of shootings that are in the city of Birmingham, Alabama and the surrounding area. There is at least one news story on TV just about every day of a murder or shooting. And some are little kids being killed from shots being fired at their homes. It’s crazy!
@@crazieanimefan1 … True. I live a few miles from UAB. My daughter-in-law works and my grandson is going to college there. His dad told him not to go out at night because it’s not safe.
@@dianefiske-foy4717 I hate to say it, maybe there's something in the water. lol All jokes aside, we've had some big cases here like Lauren Birk, Lori Selenski (whom I knew personally as a good friend), and recently the Dadeville shooting, which two from here were charged in. I only go outside to take my dog out, other than that, unless someone knows where I am, what I have on, or who I'm with, I stay inside. It's just dangerous.
This is so good Lamont I used to watch Mary Taylor Moore on Tv and ed asner was funny to watch he had talent so sad when he died Rip to him and family 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Back in the day, with the Mary Tyler show was famous, My boss of 27 years looked identical to him down to his cigar. I once called him, Ed accidentally, and he turned around and left. Obviously, he had been told that many times L O L.
When that TV show, "The Untouchables," came on TV, all us kids that lived in the country started calling that little house in the backyard, "The Unflushables"!
I remember weekend visits seeing my daddy all these shows we’d watch, Andy Griffith, Ed the talking horse etc. My daddy has passed on now 12.28.1958 - 07.25.2022 but all these memories just shows I had an awesome childhood and how I miss my wonderful daddy!
Ed was a great actor. Lamont, if you haven't seen an episode of MTM show try the first episode. Just in case you happen to like it. ❤ there were so many great actors on MTM show. Thank you for a great video.
Ed Asner was amazing actor-both on screen and behind the mic. I remember his role on “Our Friend Martin” when voiced the principal in the alternate timeline. He also had roles in CSI: NY (where he portrayed a sympathizer designed as a WWII hero called Abraham Klein) and Criminal Minds (where he played Roy Brooks, Aaron Hotcher’s father-in-law). But to me, his best role was Carl Frederickson on UP! A change of direction, because he played a character that was grumpy and recluse at the beginning , but turned into a caring and outgoing at the end.
The first time I saw Ed Asner in a movie was the very first dcom, (Disney Channel original movie) was called a friendship in Vienna. VERY good movie BTW, the second time was, of course, the Pixar movie Up. & true fact, all of his grandkids are autistic, like me. I'm not saying that to be mean, because I also have autism, & he also did a lot for the autistic community. RIP to the great Ed Asner.
Ed Asner made his film debut in 1962, in the Elvis Presley movie Kid Galahad and again with the king in 'Change of Habit'. Asner is best known for his character Lou Grant, who was first introduced on The Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1970. In 1977, after the series, Asner's character was given his own show, Lou Grant (1977-82). Ed Asner and Elvis Presley, 'Change Of Habit' 1969. Mary Tyler Moore also starred in the movie When asked what was Elvis Presley like to work with, Asners answer was; He was very nice to work with. I worked with him twice. I worked with him on 'Kid Galahad', and I worked with him on 'Change of Habit'. In 'Kid Galahad', his hands were all bandaged and broken up because he was in his karate stage at that time, breaking bricks. But he was a delightful young man to be around, never offensive, always seemed to work hard. Then in 'Change of Habit', he was a different young man at that point and seeming to be concentrating very seriously on being an actor.
That sounds about right I heard that that the reason they canceled Hercules was because he was a Christian can you believe that of all the reasons to give for canceling a show you take Care and God bless
Hi Lamont 👋🏻 great vid as always, just wanna ask if the guy buried at the side of Edward was a relative the stone says Uncle Clarence As I can’t see the rest just me being nosey that’s all 😊 stay safe on your many travels xx
Ed Asner was a hard line Liberal Hollywood Democrat. He starred in the movie Eldorado with John Wayne. It is my understanding that John Wayne and Ed Asner did not get along with each other at all. Ed Asner was an in your face liberal Democrat. John Wayne was a conservative republican. Ed Asner started a lot of arguments with John Wayne about politics on the Eldorado movie set. The arguments got so bad that actor Robert Mitchum had to step in between those two to break up the arguments that Ed Asner started with John Wayne.
Trust me, that's how liberals roll. Always preaching about accepting all forms of diversity, but are down your throat if you disagree with a single thing.
@@ralphgilson9989 me too. How come Asner is described as "an in your face liberal democrat" but Wayne was "a conservative Republican", and Asner "started the arguments with Wayne". Guess we know what side of the aisle the poster above is on 🤦
He also played a bad guy in "El Dorado" with John Wayne, James Caan, and Robert Mitchum. He also played a bad guy on both Hawaii 5-0s. He played his original roll from the first Hawaii 5-0 and reprised the role in the new Hawaii 5-0.
He also played Santa in the movie Elf with Will Ferrell
Ed Asner was a great actor. Rest In Peace
wow am i old to remember this fellow
@@kananaskiscountry8191 not at all. We are not old at all.

Ed Asner and loved his movie called UP. And mary Tyler Moore and Lou Grant. RIP ED. Thanks for sharing his story.❤
When all is said and done, you want to go home. RIP Mr Asner.

Nice tribute to Ed. Thanks Lamont❤
I will always remember Ed Asner as J. Jonah in the 90's Spiderman cartoon series and as Carl Fredrickson from Up.
Met Ed Asner when he was helping Nancy Kulp when she ran for office in Central PA. I was absolutely star struck. Ed said "Put er there teach." and he shook my hand. When I left, Ed was wearing a stocking cap and drinking wine.
The MTM show was very good imo. Highly recommend. R.I.P. to Ed Asner ❤🙏🏾🕊

Rest In Peace Ed
He played Johnny Lawrence's step father in Cobra Kai
Loved him in UP. He was that character. We shared the same birthday (not year, mind ya lol).
He was very talented for sure
Ed Asher was a very good actor indeed. Rest in peace to him❤
He's An Awesome Actor!
Rip to Mr Asner. Loved him on MTM. Another video that is well done. Lamont
Best person to play the role of Santa Clause. My opinion anyway, great episode brother.
Art Carney was pretty good in the movie The Night They Saved Christmas
@rustylee98 yes he was excellent also
RIP 🪦 🕊️
A big, big life, and now he lies in a quiet, quiet cemetery. Thank you for the interesting piece of information concerning Jewish cemeteries.

Good looking man when he was young, he played Mary's boss in the show
I loved him on the Mary Tyler Moore Show and his spin off show
One of my favorite Ed Asner voiceover roles was as “Granny Goodness” in the justice league animated series. Granny was was one of Darkseid’s minions.
I watched some of his shows especially Mary Tyler Moore.
Hopefully you will do the story on the 2 18 year old people, short or long you keep us captivated 😊

Excellent video buddy
And for younger audiences the voice of Carl in "Up"
I remember the Lou Grant series as a serious show. Guess that never happen, a comedy character who crosses over as the same person in a drama.
He also voiced Ed Wuncler on the Boondocks
RIP Edward Asner. Lol, was a broadcast jour major. The "opinionated person" made me😂.
Soo true.😉
In Jewish cemeteries people leave stones to show they have visited.
Ed Asner was great, RIP, Art Carney is in a very small cemetery, off of a side road in Old Saybrook, CT. I was surprised when I saw his grave.
