Hollywood Matchbook Match-Up Vintage Locations Destroyed Los Angeles Scott Michaels Dearly Departed
I'm Scott Michaels - thanks for watching. I own Dearly Departed Tours in Hollywood and the original Celebrity Death webpage, Findadeath. I've been doing this for 25 years - my collection of one-of-a-kind death related artifacts includes the legendary Jayne Mansfield Death Car.
I hope you enjoy these videos enough that you'll consider supporting the channel by donating a couple of bucks a month to keep it updated with new content.

Scott Michaels--I don''t understand why you don't have more subscribers. You keep the archives of the city, much of which will be gone when those of us with these memories pass on. I wish you well and much success.
Scott I've been a huge fan of Findadeath/death hag for a long time and I gotta say u are a total badass😎👍
I saw one of his bumper stickers in a parking lot in Willimantic Connecticut a few years ago. I wish I took a picture of it.
Great video . You are a wealth of Hollywood knowledge
Wow. Salami. Salami. Bologna
Fascinating, but sad so many of these landmarks are gone.
I love all this history, take us on more field trips
It's nice, dont even have to get up and we're there
Loved the tour. History is often lost, especially on the younger set.
Thank you Scott. That was fun. Being cooped in is killing me LOL
I love the golden age of Hollywood very sad to see much of the buildings gone now. I wish the content coming out now could be more like back then. I have completely stop watching TV except for TCM. Scott I wish you many blessings love your channel.🙏🏼
That was very enjoyable as anything "old Hollywood" seems enjoyable.
SCOTT that would be wonderful if you would do a video about Robert Reed ? That was funny what you said about him hating his job and drinking at the bar. LOL
Great video!!
The Wonderful & entertaining ‘Steve Allen’ helped make the “Ranch Market” famous with his “Man on the Street” interviews . ⚡️🤣✌🏼💐⚡️
Looks like Hollywood is being gentrified. Old historic places razed in the name of progress. In their place are strip malls and Soviet style condos. Same thing is happening in my hometown, Dallas. Do you happen to have a matchbook for the Villa Capri, James Dean's favorite restaurant in Hollywood? It was on McCadden Place just north of Hollywood Blvd.
Florentine Gardens..been there forever. Used to go dance my ass off when i was young! Great vlog Scott.
Great matchbook tour. So interesting to hear your stories about these places. Keep up the great Vlogs please 😁
What a wonderful idea! I enjoyed every moment of this vlog. Thank you so much and I look forward to what’s next.
Thank you for telling about these long forgotten buildings
Thanks you for the lovely diversion from the sickness and misery that happening all around the world 💔😢. Keep us smiling and having some different things to look at that doesn't want to pull our hair out!!🤦🙋
I’ve never seen the picture of Der Bingle. I’ll have to take a look-see. I’m a Proud Patreon Member! The Matchbook Tour is fantastic, thank you so much!
Thanks for this awesome tour. It was informative and entertaining. 5 stars.
Amazing Hollywood facts. You really know your stuff!! Thx!!
I enjoy hearing about the times and locations when/where cultural lightning struck.
This was great Scott!! I love any history on Hollywood!
Love this, great job! I wish I had my dear old friend Jeans matchbook collection, it filled one of those big brandy snifter jars and all of them were from Hollywood, where she lived in the early 60s. She was a wild woman and used to be a Bob Hope golf caddy girl. She knew quite a few celebrities and had some great stories, some of them pretty racy. LOL. She knew Jack Cassidy, Tom Bosley, Robert Stack among others.
My little Dresden story: I ended up there years ago w some friends after a night of Rockabilly shows and swing dancing - like you do- to have have some cocktails & catch Marty & Elaine's set.
We gathered 'round the piano and had a festive sing-a-long of classic standards, hoisting our drinks and having a terrific time.
Afterwards, I got to meet them and I said to Elaine "Your show was such a treat!" She looked me up n down (we're the same height) and she says "Well. You're a treat to look at!"
Saw them again years later, w a pal visiting from Australia, on my 46th birthday for dinner and their show.
Good times..
This was a fun tour! I remember collecting matchbook covers as a kid.
I really enjoyed seeing the history of old Hollywood. And I am really glad you collected the old matchbooks! How many years have you lived in Hollywood Scott?
14:13 Poor Robert Reid. 😂😂
Scott, I love watching these kind of historical vlogs! I was only in LA once in 2015 and feel like I know it better from watching your vlogs! Keep doing what you're doing and things will sort them self out. I wish I knew about Dearly Departed tours as I would have taken one! Keep them coming. Also I really enjoy the podcast!
this is great! i used to have an amazing collection of old LA matchbooks years ago. as with so many of my favorite things, they got stolen. :( do more of these!
I really enjoyed the matchbook tour! I would love to see more!
Loved your Matchbook tour! I was born and raised in Hollywood/LA and miss the old Hollywood. Thanks for the memories!
VERY INTERESTING VIDEO , THANK YOU FOR THIS INFO WHO KNEW ALL THIS ,,I FIND THIS STUFF SO FASCINATING ,,,WOW,,NEVER BEEN TO LOS ANGELES MAYBE SOME DAY ,,,,KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING THANK YOU 🤟🌷😘
That was great, Scott. Can't wait to see more matchbook tours!
Do you know anything about a restaurant that was located near Perinos on Wilshire Blvd? I used to work in a building very close to Perinos but there was also the Quo Vadis. Really like your vlogs!
That was awesome Scott thank-you.
The city of LA should put you on the payroll. You’re a gem!
Matchbooks carry more than matches. HISTORY. Thanx .
Do they still make matchbooks with business logos?; you should do one of the factory that makes the matchbooks
That was an exciting matchbook tour, I loved it... thank you
Loved this. You do the perfect amount of "talking and showing".... Your channel will be massive.
I could have done a few here in Las Vegas. But I had nearly 250 from all over the world. But predominantly Vegas.
What a cool and interesting video! Thanks, Scott! :)
My mother, who passed away a number of years ago, gave me a box full of 1930's & 1940's matchbooks, many with the matches still in them. My grandparents loved to go out and hit all the night spots or clubs when they were younger and kept matchbooks from each place they went. The names of the places, the faded pictures on the matchbook lids, and the smell of the matches themselves, always fascinated me, especially because I knew the places the matchbooks were from, have all been stupidly torn down and replaced with crap and now just a simple matchbook is all that really remains of them. Anyhow, the matchbooks are from places around Los Angeles and San Francisco . Great video. Keep them coming.
This inspired me to do my own matchbook tour
Took your Dearly Departed Tour in January of last year. Hope you continue these great tours.
I have 3 matchbook albums and always thought it would be cool to match them up with current locations. Good work! Hope you do more.
Great little tour ... Enjoyed it ....Aloha
You have such good ideas!!! Love it so much!!!!
Scott, you're my hero! Love your channel and everything you do!
That was cool, awesome collection
Yay! Thanks for posting, Scott! Loved it!
Been a fan for over ten years thanks man
That was fun! Thanks Scott!
That was badass. Thanks, sir.
I love this...…. wish it was longer. I could watch for hours.
This was great Scott I really enjoyed it, can't wait for the next installment.
Your videos are great thank you.
How cool. I lived in Los Angeles Hollywood for 20 yrs mid 80's. I remember many of these landmarks. Really enjoy your videos. Like you I have some wild stories. Thanks for sharing.
Love your work Scott. Come to NYC. Would enjoy your spin on: CBGB's; Max's Kansas City, The Fillmore East, so many more.
Love your video's.greetings From Amsterdam 🇳🇱😊 Stay Save 🙏
I loved your matchbook tour Scott! 💯
I have a handful or 2 of clubs/restaurants matchbooks too, but mine are mostly from Chicago, where I grew up until age 10.
There is a Von's in Lafayette's Purdue unniv area, but it isn't a grocery store. They sell records, vintage posters & books, clothes, jewelry, and just loads of cool unique stuff. 😊
Thanks again, I love listening to the stories! 👍
Scott.....I envy all your knowledge and experiences! Being a gal from central Illinois growing up in the 60's and 70's never had the chance to get out and around. Now living in the mountains of Virginia, just about the same. Love your videos!
Club Lingerie was a Hang of ours another lifetime ago..
Some added trivia: Chili Peppers were kinda the House Band then. For some reason all the local Pimps and their "girls" would be there. Gave the place a kind of edgey vibe to say the least..
It was more fun than the Red Onion crowd by far..
Enjoyed the tour and MatchBooks Scott..!!
Really enjoyed this Scott, thanks a million. I lived in Hollywood from 85-90 and used to love to walk everywhere and search for remnants of 'old hollywood'. Like your little tidbits of trivia too. Keep up the great work and PLEASE don't change your style - don't go all Hollywood hahaha!
Greetings Scott
I could watch your Trips all day .. I just got word i'v got non-lymphoma .Surfing all day on the web is not my bag ..But honestly I'v developed a crush on your personalty and manner please don't be freaked out .. I live in Boston so your safe I did live in Sherman oaks from 81 til 89 .Your va cute one who's the lucky man
Absolutely love that matchbook tour, hope you keep them coming. Your star is shining brighter and brighter..
Great tour. I never get enough of your Hollywood History, it’s endlessly fascinating. Pity a lot of old Hollywood is seemingly being destroyed. I have both your dearly departed dvds which I’ve watched to death (pun intended) Your voice is very distinctive as well. Keep em coming Mr Scott😊😊😊
Florentine Gardens and Club Lingerie had punk rock gigs in the late 70's and early 80's. Once the LAPD got wind of it they showed up in force and trouble ensued.
The funeral home doesn't look the same. The trees are bigger! Chop down those trees and plant new ones that don't grow. How much did the employee get for his picture of the Crosby stiff? WATCH OUT!!!!! Scott, you were backing up into traffic and making me nervous! 4:28
I am the Undertaker of Boring, Oregon (I know, I know) and a very big fan of yours since your arrival on the scene in Los Angeles. I sat in your coach on one of the original tours, and was a very early adapter of findadeath.com. Your death book collection, autograph collection, and now matchbook collection just makes me want to squeeze you all the more! I have over 2,000 pens from mortuaries and cemeteries across the world that I am bequeathing to you upon my demise, so I know we would play very nicely together.
Isolatedly Yours,
Your not so boring fan from Boring, Oregon.
Scott, when I was a little girl in Connecticut my mom went to a bakery and discovered a cake that looked perfect for a baby to smash their face in lol. But as I grew older I grew to live this unique cake and it became a tradition that every year for my birthday my mom got me a Brown Derby Cake. I had one every year all the way through to my college years!
I asked my mom why it was called Brown Derby and I vaguely remember telling me it’s because it looks like the hat and she thought the cake came from a restaurant recipe but she wasn’t sure. YOUR VIDEOS are the first time, 30 years later, that I’m seeing that actual friggin restaurant and now know it’s from California! It literally made me cry! Such memories!
So the Brown Derby restaurant made a cake that made its way to the East Coast. Apparently, it’s popular in the Jersey area. Just last year I asked my friend if he knew about Brown Derby Cake because I miss my cake and wondered if I could restart my tradition. Never heard of it.
I am obsessed with that restaurant! I love seeing the pics. Personally, it breaks my heart to see all those great places gone, but I guess that’s life. I think the early recipe had just grapefruit, but the cake looks like a Brown Derby hat and is fluffy whipped cream with strawberry, banana, and sometimes peaches and grapefruit filling and chocolate cake crumbs all mixed in. It’s the best ever. I’m in a mission now. That was such a big part of my childhood. Looking forward to that Brown Derby Cake, and there was never even a question. That cake was there every year for almost 20 years of my life. Seeing that restaurant just blows my mind. Can’t imagine, that recipe made its way around the country! I even looked it up and sure enough, it DID start at the Brown Derby Restaurant in Hollywood and the guy, who invented it with the help of a socialite who ate there often and asked for a special cake, sold the secret recipe to General Mills. It started to evolve and look more like the hat, which it didn’t in its first form, and it made its way to the East Coast.
It’s the best cake I’ve ever had to this day. Now I know where it came from!
Would someone invent a time machine, already!
great video sir
Wonderful, I could listen to you talking about Hollywood all day. It’s such a shame everything gets torn down. Do they not want to conserve the history of the place?? I can’t believe a school is in the site of the Coconut Grove, I was so upset. HMS Bounty looks a lovely place to eat, I’d love to see the inside. Thank you for another amazing history lesson. 💕💕💕
Thank so much for showing my hometown. I'm 70 so many of the places I remember from my teen years running around Hollywood in the 60s.
Scott, it’s a shame that the buildings are gone. I live in Australia and it is exactly the same here. Every building of significance is pulled down for not much. It is great that people like yourself can keep these memories alive and to share them to so many people. What you do is very important for many 👍
A very entertaining and informative video. You have an excellent presence. Thank you for doing your part to preserve the history of Hollywood and the Los Angeles area. Stay safe and be well.
Thanks for such a great video during this social distancing Carona meltdown we’re experiencing.
Thank god you do what you do. Cheers from Las Vegas.----The Liberace L Guy
Please take us on another matchbook tour Scott! I remember how in the 70s I had friends that collected matchbooks, wish I had done it as well. Thank you for helping us get through these rough days, you are truly helping your fellow man! The incredible knowledge you retain is astounding! I love hearing about the history of things, places and people so please give us more!! Stay safe and stay well There are so many places around Hollywood and Vine that tourists come that most of us that live here don’t go. Have you ever done one on that area? I feel like people may have a little more respect for a place if they realized the history of some of these places. It’s tragic how we loose so many iconic buildings and businesses. Thank you again!
I use to get my mail at 8033 Sunset Blvd. I did not know there was a hustler bar called Numbers in the back. I came to get my mail around 11pm one Friday or Saturday night, i parked on the side street as always and a yellow Rolls pulls up and the driver, Robert Reed asked me if i was available? I had an idea what Pa Brady meant and i just said no. I told a few people about that and 1 of them explained that Numbers was in the back. Once i knew, it was not a story i told while Robert Reed was alive, since i don't believe in outing people.
That was very interesting
Thank you. Really enjoyed this! I look forward to your vlogs.. Keep up the great work and best of wishes to you and yours
Thanks Scott, hope you and yours are doing well. Not sure when things will get back to normal for any of us, but we are all in this together and we shall come back stronger for going through this, thanks for the videos beyond interesting-Cheers!
Scott, I hear you may be moving to Vegas. If true, please consider doing a history series on same. You're a master historian/storyteller.
i like the know about the history about la hoolywooy so cool ty for video this keep save out there what is yall gas prices i saw it was 2.99?? our gas price's here in Bartlesvilleoklahoma is 1.40 yesterday this is where frank phillips is HQ he start out from
I enjoyed your matchbook tour. Too bad Hollywood has no respect for historic places.
Do you have any matchbooks from The Phone Booth and The Connection, the two topless bars on Santa Monica where Jim Morrison used to hang out?
I liked it!~!!!! Used to live there so its like walking around in my old hood.
Thank you Scott. So many of the bars and clubs we would haunt in the 90’s. The Bounty was definitely a destination bar seedy in all the right ways
My Great Aunt lived next to the Ambassador and my Father used to go there to swim in the mid 1940s.
Loved this video, cool matchbook tour idea. Looking forward to another one. Thanks for the history!!
I'm a new fan, I got to know you from Jordan the lion but I must say you know Hollywood history, keep doing what you're doing
I have an El-Coyote Match book I got from Stoner Van Houten not old but it's a cool keep sake to have. Cool video Scott 👍👍
You are my favorite "Pop" historian of Los Angeles. Cannot wait for this pandemic to be over with so I can come down to LA and do a tour with you.
Very nice video. Really took me back to Hollywood. Thank you. ✨👍✨
So interesting, thanks Scott. LA history is fascinating. Would love to see more videos like this!
Is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood worth watching Scott Michels?
Love love your videos and Hollywood history. I wish I could live there but your videos are the next best thing.
That was a great idea to go to the matchbook locations. I enjoyed the trip around Hollywood.
Thank you scott this was a cool video I really like your videos i always learn so much stuff about Hollywood and all of its cool people and cool places so thanks for teaching us and I cannot wait for another great video
I love these matchbook episodes .❤
