- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- Today, my travels take me to Westwood Village Memorial Park in Los Angeles, to visit the grave sites of the 1960s and '70s TV show GREEN ACRES cast members and the creator of the series--and a few others.
I visit the final resting places of:
Eddie Albert (Oliver Wendell Douglas) and his wife and actress Margot Albert
Eva Gabor (Lisa Douglas)
Jay Sommers (Writer and creator of GREEN ACRES)
Sydney Sheldon (Writer)
Lou Ann Simms (Singer)
John Cassavettes (Actor)
Plus, I remember actors Tom Lester and Alvy Moore.
Thanks for joining me on another nostalgic road trip down memory lane.

Steve: Eddie Albert was a personal friend of mine. I met him in 1998 and would often visit him at his home. He once came to visit me in my home town and we had a wonderful reception for him. He thoroughly enjoyed his visit. Eddie was a very kind man who always took time to stop and speak with those who would recognize him no matter where he was at. He said if it were not for his fans, he would not be the man he was. He planted his own vegetables at his home. His front and back yards clearly showed this. When I would eat at his home, I always enjoyed the fresh salads from his garden. I truly appreciate my friendship with Eddie.
thanks for sharing this, john. it's really nice to hear he was a down to earth guy who appreciated his fans. sounds like you were very lucky to have had him as a friend.
@@TheGraveyardChannel When you were doing Albert's mini bio you left out his role in "The Longest Day" where he appeared alongside Robert Mitchum, and many other works including "Brother Rat" starring future POTUS Ronald Reagan. I mention those war movies because Albert was actually a decorated WW2 Coast Guard & Navy war vet who was in the battle of Tarawa where he was the skipper/pilot of a crew of troop boats in the amphibious landing of US Marines. Albert distinguished himself receiving a Bronze Star with Combat "V" for courageously, directly, and indirectly rescuing 37, and another 40 Marines respectively, that were trapped on the bloody beach that was under extremely heavy fire. Albert had toured Mexico as a clown and high-wire artist with the Escalante Brothers Circus. But Albert was undercover there also secretly working for the U.S. Army intelligence, photographing German U-boats in Mexican harbors.
Steve,
You mentioned 'Holiday on the Buses' in this video. It was a popular movie in Australia at the time as was the series 'On the Buses'. I believe the Star of the series, Reg Varney, was the first person to use an ATM in the UK.
Dan
@@joeblow3934 Eddie Albert also had a presence in the stage theatre as well as in movies. After Robert Preston temporarily left the Broadway production of the Music Man to star in its movie version, he played con artist Harold Hill.
That was wonderful. I always liked the roles he played, starting with that earlier one with Gregory Peck, Roman Holiday, I believe. Thanks so much for sharing those memories of your friend!
Greenacres...a fave. So light and funny. Eva Gabor was so funny. As were all the cast.
Thanks Steve. Eddie Albert was also one our great veterans who served in the South Pacific during the Battle of Tarawa. I would like thank him and his family for his courage and sacrifice.
UPDATE: Tom Lester, who played Eb Dawson and the last of the cast members of Green Acres died April 20, 2020 of Parkinson's Disease at the age of 81 in Nashville, Tn.
I was very sorry to hear this. Thanks for sharing it with all of us Ricky 👍
Thanks for that. I like Tom Lester.
Green acres is the best sitcom . Full of humor. Fabulous actors.
I loved Green Acres. Listening to you talk about them makes me feel like a kid again and I can’t believe all these actors are gone. It’s taking my brain a little longer to catch up to my actual age.
lol, i know. me too :-)
Eddie Albert was a war hero. He received a bronze star for his bravery during the battle of Tarawa Island in the Pacific theater. I Ioved Green Acres and still do. I watch the reruns whenever I can find them. Good video.
Hi Steve, another really enjoyable adventure with you to meet these wonderful stars...I was surprised to see Eva Gabor buried by herself, and not with any of her famous sisters nearby, not to mention a husband!....loved her accent. Eddie Albert was a real gentleman...you could see and sense that even if you were not lucky enough to meet him in life. Thankyou for sharing! Stay safe! Love Helen from the U.K. 🙋♀️🌻☕️☕️xx
Thank you. Remembrances of the cast members and a few personal highlights are what make your videos heart-felt. I like the way you help to keep their memories alive.
Thanks Cat. Very nice of you to say 😊👍
I Loved Green Acres! Eva Gabor....such class and beauty!♥️ Eddie Albert,Thanks for your Service to our Country I salute our Veterans Everywhere including you from Philadelphia, Pa. October 2019
My FAVORITE SITCOM of all time....I can watch it today and still laugh out loud! We were stationed at Plesanton California for 2 years; the most beautiful state I have ever seen....too old now (73) but my bucket list WAS to visit California Wine Country!
I agree Robby! It never gets old 😊👍
I have to tell you Steve, your videos are absolutely fantastic. So informative and so well described. You do a fantastic job of letting us see graves that otherwise we would never see. Thank you so much!
thanks, john. i really appreciate you saying that!
Green Acres. Great show. Remember Lisa could only make pancakes. Still watch it week nites.
James Burgmann "hotcakes"! 😀
My wife and I are currently watching the Green Acres episodes. Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor definitely made a great team, complimenting one another. The show is very funny and clean humor.😊
It really has held up well. Thanks for sharing, Richard!
And I'm the Number One Green Acres in the entire country!
And they did NOT roast Arnold Ziffel at series end
Green Acres was my favorite show when I was little. Green Acres is the place to be farm living is the life for me 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
I thought Eddie Albert was buried in a mausoleum. I'm glad you did a vlog about green acres. Thanks Steve
thanks, david!
I wish we had Shows like this again.
this family watches reruns of green acres, andy of mayberry, hogans heroes, EVERY NIGHT on METV !! we haven't watched the networks for years, since all of their shows are just trash !!! We also like to watch old game shows on BUZZR...
@@ImForgivenToo , I agree. Shows today Stink.
I love me tv they often bring back shows I was too young to remember.this way I get to see them again and remember a time when tv was wholesome and the whole family could watch.i appreciate watching for the first time or getting to see the ones I never got to see..its good to see where they are buried. What happened to Arnold the pig. That pig was very smart.made me laugh..there's not one actor or actress I didn't like. I loved them all.thanks for a mother good vlog. I have no problem rewatching a video I've seen before. I always find more info I missed the first time.its mostly the reruns I saw but that's ok.they were good shows.so when another vlog pop up even if I have watched it before I dont mind re watching it again. Thanks steve take care. Neita.🙂👋.
I loved how Lisa (Eva) would pronounce "Hootersveal".I still say it that way when I got to a very small town....RIP.
LOL, I agree :-)
We have a town out here called Victorville that we call Hooterville
Hi Steve!
Another terrific video.
Very interesting to see Eddie Albert's and Eva Gabor's graves. Green Acres was always one of my favorite shows.
Lotsa Luck was another of my faves. It was totally outrageous, and very risque (for the time).
Thank you for what you do!
Thanks, JM
Always loved the Douglas's on Green Acres
Hello Steve. I'm new a subscriber. Being home with the flu, watching RUclips, I came across your channel. First, I'd like to thank you. Your demeanor and respect for the final resting place of the many Hollywood artists is extremely appreciated and exceptional. Many years ago Edward Albert was a client and neighbor of mine and someone who became a friend. I met his parents several times and have one precious memory of having tea with Margo while looking through the family's photo albums. She was an amazing woman. So, again thank you for being so kind in your vlogs...to me and many others the people you highlight are people we love dearly. And coincidentally, I remember seeing Star Wars at the very same theater. It was an enormous line but definitely worth the wait. Love to meet you in person sometime.
Hi Lisa, thanks so much for sharing these personal memories. I love hearing things like this. LOL, the way the Universe works, we were probably sitting next to each other in that theater in 1977 watching Star Wars :-) Maybe I will do a meet up in the LA area one of these days. If so, I'll announce it on this channel. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
@@TheGraveyardChannel I'm so glad I found your channel, thank you so much for this awesome information!!!!!
Loved that show so much. They can choose where to be buried & they could have decided to be close to each other due to their great friendship with each other.
Green Acres is the place to be... farm living is the life for me🎶🎶
Land spreadin out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan-just give me that countryside
Nan Fagan New York, is where I’d rather stay, 🎼🎶
NEW YORK IS WHERE I RATHER STAY
I GET ALERGIC SMELLING HAY
I JUST ADORE A FAN TASK ( FANTASTIC) VIEW Darling I love you but give me 5th avenue.
I haven't watched Green Acres in a long time. I've always liked the music they played in it & I bet it was a real popular tv show back in the day.
Just remembering Arnold and Mr ziffle. ...lol Green Acres was a very cute show. This video had alot of interesting info.🤗😊
Loved Eddie Albert in Roman Holiday. I used to imitate Eva and Zsa Zsa Gabor for my family’s entertainment as a child. Lol. Was nice to see Eva’s resting place. Thanks 🙂
LOL, loved their accents!
Yes Roman Holiday was a great movie, one of my favorites, dahling!
I also understand Eddie Albert was a veteran of Normandy and Steve I find your Gravesite visits to be very interesting with all the information and trivia that goes along with it keep up the great work 👍
thanks, lee!
You aren't alone. I, too, recall the theaters in which I have viewed memorable movies. Good narration work! Your anecdotes are spot on with just what I would want to know. I decided to subscribe after having watched a only a few of you videos.
I've often thought that it would be fun to visit gravesites of famous people or gravestones with unusual names and practice the hobby of Gravestone Rubbing. I think that would be a nice collection in an oversized notebook. Crazy, I know! Have you ever done that with any of the gravesites you've visited?
i've heard that it's pretty popular back east where cemeteries are much older and it's often difficult to read the inscriptions. everything is pretty new here in california, so real need to. i think it's great to preserve the past that way, though. thanks for watching and subscribing, david. i appreciate it!
I hadn't thought of that, but that would be interesting thing to do with relatives graves old and new, friends who have passed, maybe keep a separate ones for celebrities. The reason it might be helpful is preservation of family graves. Even looking at them after 10 years passing they may start to show little signs of wear. After 30 years they show a bit more and 60 or more years the wear can start to become very noticeable. Plus, I'm not sure if this is a good or a bad thing, but the energy that comes off those things might be a little interesting, so maybe that's not such a good idea to bring that all back from the grave, especially if there will be a whole book of them, lol.
There were several crossover episodes where the characters from the Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres and Petticoat Junction
visited with each other down there at Hooterville. Granny had a big crush on Mr. Drucker. There was a big holiday dinner at the Shady Rest
in one episode. I always thought it would have been fun for Jethroe to take a long look at Kate, then look at the camera and say " Nahhh ".
lol :-)
Hi Steve. I've been waiting for your latest upload to try and get a message in. Discovered your channel last night and binge watched several of them. .. just wanted to say keep up the good work! It is interesting as well as a reminder, that we are all here for just a relatively short time... cheers from Australia.
Glad you found my channel, Steve, and thanks for sharing. And yes, it all goes by way too fast, but it is a fun journey while it lasts :-)
@@TheGraveyardChannel yes Steve...I think as we get older we appreciate that more, also reflect back on when we were kids when all the old folk's used to say how quickly it goes by and we'd scoff at them...now WE are the old folk's, telling younger people the same story, as no doubt has gone on for eternity lol
Great stuff as usual, Steve. I think one of Eddie Albert's greatest film roles, which may have earned him an Oscar nomination/award was as the shell shocked crazy colonel in the film "Captain Newman, MD", which had a star studded cast. The lead was played by Gregory Peck, along with Angie Dickinson, Nick Adams, Robert Duval and Lee Remick. What a terrific film, which most have probably never even heard of.
Thanks again!
i've never heard of it, but now i'm intrigued. thanks, max!
Loved Green Acres. Interesting !
Great video Steve! Green Acres was always a fun show to watch! Thank you!
Holiday on the buses.....ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME!! I was born in 1977.
When I was a kid, I enjoyed Switch. It was a detective show Eddie Albert did with Robert Wagner. He was an ex cop, Wagner was an ex con. They started a detective agency.
I loved Eddie in Oklahoma; reminded me a little bit of Mr. Haney! lol
I like everything about your site .. What makes this site even greater is that you do not have mental break downs , nor go into rants , or spew how badly you are treated etc .. you are calm cool and collected ... thankyou for that ..
LOL, I guess that's just one of the benefits old getting old. I'm just happy to still be alive :-) No time for negativity. Too much fun to have. Thanks, FF!
Eddie Albert is held in the highest Honor with us US Marines for his actions at Tarawa Oorah !
I always watch Greenacres growing up it was one of my favorites Mr. Haney was a hoot!!!! My dad bought a brand new 1967 Ford galaxy it was red four-door it was really sharp!!! Have a very blessed day and thank you again for everything I love watching your videos !!❤️
Thanks for sharing with us, Winnie!
My favorites were both Mr. Haney and Hank Kimball, the county agricultural agent.
I was 19 years old when Star Wars came out in 1977. I waited in line at the Old National Four in College Park, Georgia to see the first showing. I ended up going back to watch two more times. We had NEVER seen anything like it before.
i ended up seeing it multiple times, too. thanks for sharing this memory, sandra!
I love green Acer's, I remember my first time watching in 72was6.Thanks for the touring ☺️
Good memory. Thanks for sharing, Lisa!
I agree
Back in 1977, my friends, and sister in law went to Gateway Theater to see Star Wars. The line wrapped around the theater, and onto the parking lot. The owner of Gateway Theater decided to show The Star War movie's in all six movie theaters to reduce the lines...amazingly it worked, no fights broke out...and everybody went home with all smiles.
Always loved Eddie Albert. Not only in Green Acres but in Switch as well. And so amazing that he lived to be 99. Thanks for sharing!
eddie is a ww2 hero he saved alot of lives
Thanks Steve for another informative video. I watched as a kid and loved it. I thought Eva was so beautiful. She played such a innocent role. Such a lovely woman. Thanks Steve
Such a hilarious show! Has stood the test of time
Thank you for a great documentary.
I was there in October of 2015. It was the highlight of my visit there. In 1996, I made a vow that I was going to visit Eva Gabor's grave on my next visit to Los Angeles. And I did. I kept that vow! I also saw Eddie Albert's, Merv Griffin's, and a few other celebrities' graves as well. As the Number One Green Acres fan in the entire country, I wanted to pay my respects to Eva Gabor, Merv Griffin, and Eddie Albert.
Thanks for sharing that with us Nan!
Oh you're welcome Steve.
I live in another country in North Africa, but I love American actor and actresses. And kiss for all people america
wow, thanks for watching from north africa, midou!
Green Acres is the place to be!!! I watched each show and still watch the reruns when I see the listing on t.v. and it's a shame that there is not more clean t.v. shows today, like the good ole days.
I'm looking forward to another great video and seeing all famous graves from our beloved actors and learning about their lives.
Thanks for all you do and the hard, long hours and work that you do for each video.
I like the show even better now than when I watched it as a kid! And pretty soon you are going to be in one of these videos :-) BTW, I may be in Tulsa a day or two later than I was planning. I want to stop in Branson for half a day to a full day and just realized it is on the way to Tulsa from St. Louis. Hope that will work out for you. I'll know more as it gets closer. Thanks, Les
@@TheGraveyardChannel Good morning Steve! I agree in what you said about the show and you like it better now than then. I am the same way.
Hey buddy, not a problem with the date of you arriving in Tulsa and like I told you before, I am really flexible and still opened to when you arrive on the day of arrival, I have kept my calendar clear the 1st and 2nd week of June. I have been to Branson so many times over the years and seen so many changes over the years, it's amazing. I can remember the 1st time I went to Branson in the late 1970's it was still fairly small and somewhere packed away, I have the group picture of the cave there.
My mother just said "Good Morning Young Man" to you! My mother also stated that you have a great trip and enjoy your Grandson's graduation and be safe on the road. Chat with you later!
I've never been there and had no idea it was so close to you. Hi back to your mom and you two have a nice day!!
I saw Star Wars at the Genesee theater in Waukegan, Illinois at the midnight show on a Saturday night (Sunday morning).
I looked up his son, Eddie Albert, Jr. and gasped when I saw him, because I remember him and his work. I didn’t know he passed away, so thank you for that info.
I hadn't heard that he died, either, until doing a little research for this vlog. So sad. Thanks, Lisa.
His son was his caregiver, as Eddie Albert suffered from Alzheimer's in his later years. Edward Albert was diagnosed with lung cancer before his dad died. Did you know that Earth Day is observed on April 22nd, Eddie Albert's birthday? He was a co-founder, and a staunch environmentalist.
@@TheGraveyardChannel
my wifes mother is a German copy of Eva gabor and speaks the same. I grew up watching this show and now i live the damn thing. God has a sense of humour. rip sweet lady
lol, thanks for sharing this with us, curt!
@@TheGraveyardChannel well are you just the nicest person. i grew up in mtns of virginia so the tv was a magical place for me. seeing these people passed is scary. i am now 57 and it seems like i am now just getting started at life. you do not know crap until about age 48, again odd to see these folks passed and it scares me. life is so short. thanks for the videos.
Man I love your vids, why? because it brings back childhood memories thankyou and I love your voice fan from🇳🇿New Zealand 🇳🇿
Thank you Martha. I’m very happy to hear that! 😊👍
Great show. They don’t have decent comedy shows like this one today.
I remember standing in line to watch Star Wars in London Ontario....after the WOW factor I went 3 more times
cool. thanks for sharing that memory with us, 5CW!
Your Videos are always very interesting. You now, people think that celebreties are invicible. This is so humbling and often sad to see how they died. But entertaining at the same time
I agree. Thanks, Sandra!
Always watched Green acres after school, I liked Eddie Albert in the longest yard.
I agree
He was also very good in the original Heartbreak Kid.
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm on a Green Acres kick watching the episodes on the Roku channel (July 2022). It started out as a suggestion from my Dad to watch this show when he visits and he picks dinner up to bring over and we sit and watch TV. The other one we have watched some of is Topper and I have seen a couple episodes of Petticoat Junction he suggested but I wanted to finish this first. I know I had seen Green Acres when I was younger a little here and there but I was too young to fully appreciate it as a little kid. I hope they keep this show on there forever!!! It's impossible for me to watch and be in a bad mood and the theme song is stuck in my head which is fine by me. I've been laid up and it's the perfect show. I wasn't old enough to exist when it came on weekly the first time around. I'm a 70s child. I'm on Season 3.
Eva was the epitome of elegance, along with that generation of starlets and the generation before them, not like the celebrities and the culture we have today. Everyone on the show just played their part so wonderfully and they were so engaging that it feels like an escape with familiar friends. I don't normally watch television and I don't have cable for that reason, but I love this show!! This was back when television was creative and wholesome and actually worth watching, in my opinion. This is going to have me exploring the other shows you mentioned like Petticoat Junction some more.
Thanks again and please keep the videos coming! This is the first I've seen of yours and I've subscribed. I am definitely going to watch your other ones. I love to travel and I can't right now and these things fascinate me, learning straight from someone who is "on the ground" who is actually there. I love how you have researched and share information while showing us around. It's like we are there with you and you are respectful, giving reverence to the departed and that is deeply appreciated.
Thanks, Steve! Green Acres was one of my favorite shows! Thank you so much for showing us a bit of the neighborhood around the cemetery.
Loved the story about your first car and when you saw Star Wars. My first car was also a 64 Ford Fairlane. She was blue and I named her Liz. My Dad had a 68 Chevy van. He was red and white. I named him Richard.
As for Star Wars, our son was 4 at the time (he was also born on May 4). I believe we saw the movie at the Kokomo Mall theater. We loved the movie and our son collected all the merch he could until he was in his 20s. He still has quite a bit of his collection.
I love how you give us all the little tid bits throughout the video. I loved all the old shows and your videos!
Thanks, Diana!
Thank you! Green acres was Great!
Nice, loved Green Acres
Love Green Acres! Still watch reruns daily lol Thanks for another great video! 👍
Thanks, Carmen!
Carmen L. Yep, on MeTV. I also watch Perry Mason, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Rifleman,Wagon Train etc.
I watched it as a child almost 50 yrs ago. Am going to watch it again on youtube.
I loved green acres.. I named my little beagle dog after Arnold on green acres.. little Arnold will be nine years old on Christmas day.. little Arnold loves to watch Columbo. It comes on MeTV Sunday night at 8. He will watch it for the hour and a half long.. nice vlog my friend.
lol, little arnold has good taste in tv :-) thanks for sharing with us, david!
A wonderful talented man.
Wow at 99, that's a good long life he lived 🙏🙏
I saw Star Wars at the Mann Chinese Theater in Hollywood! This was the only film that I remember, was shown for 24 hours. I did see the first Rocky movie at the Arco Theater! Since I went to Junior High School just down the street! Westwood Village was my childhood hang out, from video game arcade and movies! Thanks for sharing!
Then you should like my next vlog, which is all about UCLA and Westwood village. You were very lucky to grow up in such an interesting place. I hung out there a lot in my 20s. Thanks, Thomas!
What about Arnold Ziffel, he was like the second, or third most popular actor on that show.
served up with an order of biscuits and gravy one day in late 1971
There were many Arnolds, as pigs grow so fast.
Says he is n forest lawn hollywood cemetery n in casket along with Frank inn but no marker
Arnold = 🥓
He was eaten when the show canceled
Loved Green Acres. Thanks Steve for another job well done.
I remember when Star Wars come out , But I never had interest . I remember them advertising it on the radio in our school bus riding to school 👍🏻 we had a cool bus driver. Our bus was the only bus that had a radio . But it was a long bus ride to school & back home. Thank You Steve for sharing.
it's funny the things we remember, isn't it thanks for sharing, connie!
RIP and thanks for the laughs. 🕊️🕊️
I also loved the show green acres and all the other shows that were on back in the day; I also remember watching Star wars back when it came out in 1977 also; was going to high school back then; it was showing at the Continental theater in Denver Colorado still love all of the series of Star wars movies made; I still watch your videos and loved every bit of it!!! thanks for your great talent to keep us informed
Another great video Steve thanks for the trip down memory lane keep up the great job
Eddie Albert and Lucille Ball in "The Fuller Brush Girl" was absolutely hysterical.
that was great. I had forgotten about it. thanks, peter!
@@TheGraveyardChannel ... I know everbody has to go some time, but that doesn't stop us from missing them. I sure do miss them.
I live in Nashville and there are a couple of cemeteries where some of the famous country singers have been interred. Such as Jerry Reed, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Eddie Arnold, Johnny Paycheck and others. I've been to one of the cemeteries called The Woodlawn cemetery. The other has Keith Whitley that I know of.
Steve, maybe one day you can come to Nashville and show some of your reports.
@@TheGraveyardChannel .... Also, as I think of it, Red Skelton was in that movie as well.
Steve, just had to enjoy a rerun "on demand", as Green Acres is still my place to be. A fave, along w/ The Addams Family, both of which feature zany comedy in the most entertaining of ways. Next I'll head back to your tour of resting sites of Carolyn Jones, etc. Thank you for your historic visits. Has anyone mentioned Eddie Albert was a decorated WWII combat pilot who fought in a raging 3-day battle? He was very modest & humble about his contributions to our country. He loved to both to serve the US and be a bright spot in our lives. Thank you for your historic visits & accounts of celeb lives!
I meet Mr. Albert at Lincoln Park, Lincoln Heights in Los Angeles in 1970.He was watching kid's playing baseball there. Very nice person. Rest in Peace Eddie And thank you for your service in WW II. Go Navy.
thanks for sharing this, jose!
Oh my... I still know all the words to the Green Acres song.
they were a lot more catchy back then, for sure. thanks for sharing, Julie!
Yes Ive seen Holiday On The Buses and the whole TV series of On The Buses.
Loved all of them❤️
I am in Australia and I love all your videos too.
Wishing you all the best Steve from John.
Oh and I watched all the famous sit coms from the 1960s and I love Lucy and The Honeymooners from the 1950s.
We got our first TV in 1961.
I'm surprised Eva doesn't have a bigger or fancy site/marker. Looks like they are really packed in there.
I saw the original 'Star Wars' at the McCain Mall Twin Cinema in North Little Rock Arkansas. I too, spent at least two hours, with hundreds of other people, waiting in line to see it. And no, it's not uncommon to remember where you saw your most memorable movies. I have a very good memory, in that regard.
thanks for sharing this with us, T!
I saw the original Star Wars at the McCain Mall cinema, in North Little Rock Arkansas. I too waited in line for at least 2 hours to see that movie. Ahhh, those were the good ol' days!
They sure were 😊👍
Surprisingly, they both have very modest resting places.
I do remember watching the first Star Wars movie in el dorado ark as a young 14 year old teen! I still remember the original Rocky movie as a young man too! Great memories and thanks for this video!
My dogs know I love Green Acres. I was surprised by Eddie's modest marker. He did a little spying for the Army when he was a circus performer in Mexico before the war. I believe he was a crazy trapeze guy. After the US joined the war and he put himself in harms way and was a true hero while in the USN. Never heard a bad word about anyone on that show.
Saw Star Wars 2 days after it opened and we walked right in, it was a while ago but here it had low expectations and after a slow start....after it was over I remember telling my buddy, 'That was a good movie, it didn't suck at all.'
Thanks for sharing those memories, Bender!
I can still sing the complete theme from Green Acres, the Beverly Hillbillies & all those TV shows! I wonder where Arnold the pig is buried? Maybe he went to Farmer John heaven! Lol! Thanks for another trip down Memory Lane Steve!
LOL, the theme songs were all so catchy back then. As for Arnold, I read that he was cremated and that they were interred in his trainer, Frank Inn's grave. But I don't think that's accurate since it's not allowed, in Calif. anyway. Someone else said the family has the ashes. Much better than Farmer John heaven ;-) Thanks, Kerri!
When I was a boy, I thought that classic TV was cool.
Now I think that they're cooler! I even love the dresses, petticoats, and nightgowns that the actresses wore moreover!!
Thank you as always! I saw Star Wars with my dad at the Hellman Theater in Albany New York. Sadly it no longer exists and it was majestic! Replaced with offices now...:)
That's sad. So many great old movie theaters are now gone. Thanks for sharing Michele!
Thanks Brother
Green Acers was another fine TV show I remember watching as a young girl,Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor made the perfect couple. And these days I cant remember where I seen most of the movies I watched for the first time lol. Love your videos Steve great job.
I don't know why moments in time stick with me like that, but they do. Thanks, Paulette.
Yes, I’ll always remember Green Acres. But when I think of Eddie Albert, I also remember that he was awarded the bronze star in World War 2 for rescuing 47 Marines. A talented man and a very humble hero.
The On The Buses tv series and movies were hugely popular here in Australia during the 70s but I had no idea there was a US version , thanks Steve I've learnt something new today
Thank you so much Steve for sharing the photos of my brother in law Wayne at the location of holiday on the buses it has made his day...it is much appreciated my friend thanks again :)
Thanks for sharing the photos with us, Martin. Glad he liked it. Lots of viewers have commented that they are also fans of HOTB. It's not on my list to watch!
Thank you for all the videos you have made. I enjoy learning about the famous people and what they accomplished in life.

Green acres! my favorite in childhood!

YOU HAVE THE BEST TOURS. They are always so informative, you share your own stories and ask the same of others. Nice pic of John's dad and that groovy car.
The theatres I remember seeing Star Wars in was the Cinema Center, Jaws was in the Indian Hills, Mary Poppins the Omaha theatre, waited for 2 hours there with my dad. I was a little kid then, The Hells Angles 1969 the Orpheum Theatre. Geez, lots of memories.
My first car was a 1965 Buick something. Again, great job Steve. Dan
Thanks for sharing these great memories with us, Dan. Subscriber sharing their memories are my favorites!
I used to watch all these old shows growing up,thanks for the walk down memory lane😊👋
Thanks FA. I just watched some of your videos. Have you ever thought about being in front of the camera? If I can do it, anyone can :-) It makes the videos so much more personal and watchable. For me, anyway. How lucky are you to be traveling around in your RV!
I am getting up there in years, so I just can't remember where I saw Star Wars. I know I saw it, but can't remember it. I remember two other movies tho, where I went to different places to see them. One was James Bond movie "Doctor No", when that one came out I was too young to get in, but went with my mom and dad to see it so I got in with them. The other one was "Close encounters Of The Third Kind" (1977) I went with my dad to see that one. It was such a great experience to see that movie. I was still very young then. Now I am old. I don't go to cinemas anymore. I think my last movie I saw in a cinema was the Johnny Depp movie "From Hell", but I can't be sure. Thanks again Steve.
