    I am more than convince that Arthur deserves an academy award for best short documentary. He puts these series of Hollywood Graveyard so zealously and so well told. The way he briefly tell us about every single deceased celebrity with a perfect synopsis of each individual beginning, work, controversies and method of death. I would like him to feature the nitch of my favorite movie mogul Dino Delaurentiis who is interned in Communale Cemeterio in Torre Annuciatta, Italy.

He was in exile there and had big house in Hautville, or up town, with a view from his top floor that could see his beloved France on a clear day! His House is a museum and as he left it!

    I‘m REALLY GLAD to see Oscar Wilde’s tomb looking fairly clean now, I guess the glass around it works. The first time I visited there in 1988 they hadn’t started that crap yet. Also I wish you had mentioned that Modigliani is buried with his partner Jeanne Hébuterne. She was a talented painter herself and it is tragic that she killed herself when he died.

    Les Miserables was written on British soil. Victor Hugo wrote it while in exile in Guernsey, as well as completing hunchback of notre dame, in 20 years in Guernsey, he wrote more than in any other 20 year period.
    Belgium and Jersey lay claim to Victor Hugo in exile, and name streets etc where he lived, but he only lived in those places for up to 6 months. He finally found a home in Guernsey, his first period living in Guernsey was 16 years, then moved back to France, then moved back to Guernsey for another 4 years, before moving back to France again. He had planned to move back to Guernsey and spend the rest of his time on the island but fell ill and died before that could happen.
    He had to obtain special permission to buy Hauteville House where he lived, as he wasn't a British subject, he left the house in his will to his son. His son finally obtained permission of the Duke of Normandy (the British monarch) to give Hauteville House to the city of Paris, to be opened as a museum, the House is open to the public April to September, with guided tours by students of the University of Paris, so you are able to see where he wrote les miserables. Guernsey and the other channel islands are the personal property of the British monarch in their role as Duke of Normandy.

We found the graves of the great actors Simone Signoret and Yves Montand close to the Columbarium. Their marriage and love story would have made a nice addition to your tour, btw. The great jazz violinist and collaborator with jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli is also buried there. Enjoyed the tour.

Toklas; At Passy Cemetery - Gabriel Faure (French composer); I would have also liked to have seen a tour of Montparnasse Cemetery where Alfred Dreyfus is is laid to rest, but I understand time constraint only could do so much!

    This is my favorite Hollywood Graveyard video! I was fortunate enough to go on a school trip to Paris in 1989 and a few of us split off to ride The Metro to Pere Lachaise Cemetary to visit Jim Morrison's grave. We found his grave, and passed by Chopin's grave too. It was and remains the most fascinating cemetary I've ever visited. I could have spent days there, just walking around and viewing the ornate and beautiful monuments on most of the graves. It is my dream to go back and spend a few days walking through Pere Lachaise.

      There's another grave in Paris I want to visit. In Picpus Cemetery, where many victims of the Reign of Terror are laid to rest, is the grave of Gilbert du Motier, otherwise known as the Marquis de Lafayette, the hero of two worlds, who fought in the American Revolution. An American flag is always present over his grave.

    I was fortunate enough to visit Paris back in 1984, and of course I made the trek to Pere Lachaise, spending an afternoon there visiting many of the graves you feature here--Chopin, Sarah Bernhardt, Balzac, etc. It was different then--there was a great deal of graffiti and "directions" marking the way to Jim Morrison's grave, which was not blocked off. I thought at the time that if the souls of the people buried near Morrison knew what was happening to their graves, they'd be pretty angry about it (nice to see it cleaned up now). Oscar Wilde's grave was not blocked off either, but I don't remember it being marked up that day (I do remember being awed at the sheer audacity of the tombstone, and reading that the carving was placed there some years after Wilde's death, by a woman benefactor and fan of his work).
    You more than do the cemetery justice, though you only scratched the surface of this remarkable place. Thank you for another wonderful video, and the trip down memory lane!

    I went to Jim Morrisons grave in the 80's and it was disgraceful the amount of disrespect fans showed his grave. I am glad it is in better condition even if access is restricted. Another well done chapter! I hope my submissions make the next viewers special.

      @doons403 Beats me. My picture of the grave in 1986 it is missing. It also looks like people have scribbled on the headstone with crayons.

    By far the most interesting, compelling, & enriching episode yet! This is University level knowledge, on several levels! This should be required viewing for anyone seeking to achieve any Master’s Degree.. Otherwise, they have no business considering themselves ‘educated’, or ‘fully aware of the richness of the world around them’! Bravo!

    Another great episode. I always manage to learn a thing or two from your videos, and I thank you for that. The rich history of the old graveyards mixed with the beauty of the old headstones makes for a fun watch. I’m glad to see you didn’t finish on Debussy. Big thumbs up as always.

    Marie Curie didn’t just develop mobile x-ray units for the French Army in WW1; using her Nobel Prize winnings she paid for 20 truck- mounted x-ray units and another 200 field-hospital units.

    Chopin, Legrand, Bizet, Dukas, Debussy and Ravel. Wow! Thank you for maintaining such an important inclusion of great composers! Erik Satie is at Cimetière d'Arcueil. Fauré is at Passy Cemetery. Delerue is at Forest Lawn, Glendale and Saint-Saëns is at Montparnasse Cemetery. Extraordinary video!

    This might be one of my favorite videos you've done. I constantly forget how many people are buried in Paris. It was very awesome to see Modigliani's grave ( I turned and looked at my bookshelf of his art books) and I just kept saying "Holy..." They're buried there too!! Plus always great to see Oscar! And you used one of my all time favorite quotes! It's a bucketlist place for me 100%

    I visited Paris for three days in 2009. Two of those days were spent exploring Père LaChaise Cemetery. Absolutely magnificent place. Fortunately for me, I was able to kissed Oscar Wildes’ tomb and Jim Morrisons’ grave had closer accessibility than what the video shows.

I saw the doors at the forum in the late 60s; so nice that you included Jim Morrison in your tour. & thanks for playing couple of my favs, ‘ Riders on the Storm’ & ‘ People are Strange’. Looking forward to the next one; don’t keep me waiting too long!
