Even tho I covered a large amount of names and stories of those laid to rest at Hollywood Forever I could not mention everyone . Anyone you'd like to add to the list for future visitors who'd like to pay their respects ?

Woo! Woo! Woo!
Hey what's up Woo man,
Love ur video..
I could watch stuff like this all day..
So mysterious..Masonic symbolism and such..fascinating..
Makes ya wonder, which ones were sacraficed ? Lol..
We know..
happy valentine day thedailywoo another great vlog today
6:04 Interesting a lot of people don't know why rocks are placed on headstones, especially those with a star of David atop the name. In the Jewish religion, it is said that one leaves a rock on top of the headstone of a loved one. The rock represents love. No matter how many times you break down a rock, it is still a rock, even at its most miniscule state of being. Thus, love cannot be destroyed. Always touches me when I'm in a cemetery and see a headstone with rocks on top. Thanks for showing this place!
Challenge: where do we get sand then...
Sand in seas and oceans come from coral breaking down. Sand on land comes from rocks.
Also, a rock or stone is placed on a grave to say someone cares/loves the person buried there..
Now that you've explained it, I do remember seeing the practice at the end of the film Schindler's List.
I didn't know why the rocks,thank you for the explanation ❤🌹💋
Does anyone else like to frequent or "hang out" in cemeteries? I find them blissfully serene and a great place to contemplate anything and everything. They are often some of the most beautiful places with the mausoleums, statues and grounds features. I loved to element that the different animals add in Hollywood Forever. I would love to pay my respects here personally one day.
I did that for a short while,biut people started looking at me like I was a weirdo for doing so.
I use to for awhile. I was intrigued by some of the statues etc and it was interesting to see the old grave dates.
But I've encountered so many haunted ones that it's quite disturbing from experiences i had including sometimes when friends were with me we all heard/saw the same. I learned a lot from that but since then it's really rare for me. I only visit tourist attraction ones now beside family.
When i was most interested in visiting a few random ones i was experiencing death and renewal in my life. So it was like symbolic for me. And I got over it so lost my interest.
I tell you what though... I use to live in Chicago and I visited a few there. Turns out Oscar Myler ( sp)... You know the sandwich meat guy... Was buried near by my apt. After I saw his grave I can't buy or knowingly eat any meat from this company.
Its oddly peaceful
@@ehrldawg do it anyway hahaha if you like wandering around cemeteries, do whatever makes you happy
I absolutely love it. Cemeteries are very peaceful and so beautiful
Outstanding. The last time I visited Hollywood Forever, it was still Hollywood Memorial Park. It was in a sad state of repair, but still pretty remarkable. I’ll never forget the creepy feeling I got walking around inside the Cathedral Mausoleum, as if someone or something didn’t want me there. I also remember the strange sounds near the crypts of Victor Fleming and Darla Hood, like tapping up above your head. I’ve always heard the place was haunted, and I’d have to say I agree. I’m so glad the current owners have restored the place to its former grandeur. Great, respectful work, Adam…
I went last year my friends and i felt something unwelcoming too in the Cathedral Mausoleum. We unanimously decided to turn around and leave without even discussing what had occured until we got back to the car. Spooky for sure
Excellent introduction to this cemetery for anyone not familiar with it. It has been almost 15 years since I last toured it. Lots of history from Hollywood's golden age!
This was really well done, thank you. Living in Australia, there is no way I can visit the graves of Hollywood legends so I sometimes watch these videos. Most speed up the footage and race about but you give viewers time to see things properly. I’m sure I’m not the only one who appreciates that. Thank you.
I love this cemetery. I’ve only been once, but it’s probably one of my favorites out there in Hollywood.
It's always nice to visit . One of my favorites too
I watch your vids!
This is one of the most haunted to
I love this one

As a hollywood film lover i want to say thank you for this amazing tour...I feel so sad watching this, to think one time or another these celebrities was living the hollywood dream with riches and fame but what remains is the work they left behind!...may they rest in peace.
Those peacocks are gorgeous. I love it when you can encounter wildlife in cemeteries (deer, squirrels, rabbits).
I live down the street next to the cemetery! There's also an old orphanage where Marylin Monroe used to stay in on the same street!
Nice to know. Thank you Tony 👍🏻
It was called Holly Grove and located a block south of Willoughby between Vine and El Centro.
Yes, and a very young Norma Jeane would dream of becoming a big movie star, seeing the Paramount water tower close by....
soo cool !
@@willyboy6126 yes. It was the RKO studio at that time. Norma Jeane literally dreamed of being in movies, her dream came true...then sadly turned into a nightmare.
Hattie McDaniel was indeed a brilliant actress. I can't imagine Gone with the wind without her.
Jeff W Clark Gable wanted to boycott the premiere in Atlanta because she wasn’t allowed to attend, but she told him to go.
She was a legend and great actress! I hate so bad that, at that time, African Americans were treated so badly! Sad!
Seeing Chris Cornell's grave was so plain and sad. What a great musician and singer. No one sings like you anymore.
What a beautiful job they have done restoring our beloved Hollywood cemetery. You know Judy was moved from NY to Hollywood in 2017. Read a terrific story about her funeral in NY. Love her still.
So many names there that shaped my outlook on storytelling. I appreciate all of their contributions. Judy Garland, Charlie Chaplin, Victor Fleming, Mel Blanc, Mickey Rooney... What a great way to remember them. So sad about Anton Yelchin... Taken too soon. :-(
He was . Such an unusual accident
I just watched Odd Thomas yesterday. Good flick.
Greg's Game Room by being pinned to his car
I never imagined seeing Chris Cornells resting place. Rest easy Chris. I hope you have finally found peace.
Yes I was v surprised and surprised for some reason that he was not buried in a more private place.
@@2_thumbs_up_baby it is a strange location. I visited from Australia last year. He’s next to Johnny Ramone
I toured that cemetary back in the late 80s. I was surprised to see the "newer" sites of those interred since then. Thanks for including the brief look at Hattie Man It's memorial. The former owner refused interment to any people of color, and known Jewish. Sad that discrimination has to follow even in death. I maintain the best headstone/memorial is Tyrone Power's. It's architecturally and esthetically pleasing, functional and non egotistical. A bench with books piled. As I was told, he was an avid reader, and had a say in how he'd like it to look.
Jon Mason ❤️
RIP Chris Cornell.....still can't believe it.
Check out Gematria Effect News and you will understand.
Nor Chester... So much loss 😥
I remember when Darren McGavin was at the Federal Building in West LA to do location shots for “The Night Stalker” (a lot of location shots for movies, TV and commercials were filmed there). He was very friendly, and a good-looking ginger, and made my day! Thanks, Adam!
The view inside the first mausoleum is mind blowing. It just amazed me
how many people are interred inside just this building alone. Can't imagine how many. Hundreds, I imagine. Stunning.
Thank you for your continued journeys. One of your first videos I watched was a cemetery video. It was curious to me about notable people's burial places, and you were one of the few vloggers that were respectful, and I admired that. Two years later I am still watching. I admire all your material and adventures.
The cemeteries are very much on my list for April... As morbid as it may seem to some, the amount of history that is distilled into such a small area is just mind-blowing
Absolutely . It's incredible especially out here
@@TheDailyWoo okay - opinion time- which 2 Hollywood cemeteries would you think if get the most out of? You know me well enough to get a sense of what would impress me most.
Both awesome and respectful - nicely done, Adam
I agree. I appreciate his subdued and respectful tone as he speaks.
I love how respectful your videos are, I've spent the last few days watching many of them, your doing a great job sharing the world with us Adam, I can't wait to see where else you go! My favorites are your adventures though LA and Disneyland! My heart is lost somewhere in Socal, your videos help so much when I'm missing home! Thank you!
I loved the tour. I had no idea there were so many memorial gardens, chapels, and mausoleums in one cemetery. Happy Valentine's Day.
My wife's parents have their gravesite here! I met Darren Mc Gavin as a kid on the set of Ironside, he shook my hand, smiled, and said, "hello young man", and then walked on. My mom worked at Universal Studios in the 1960's, and sometimes she'd take us on a self-guided tour of the empty TV sets.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
Kinda ironic, Darren McGavin was known as Kolchak the night stalker. He hunted vampires, now he's buried next to one.
@@markcadieux3445 Well, all that I can say about that is, maybe one is looking down, and the other is looking up!!
Great video Adam. A peaceful somber reminder on Valentine's Day to always tell those in your life that you love them. Everyday. We never know what day will be our last. Live by actions, always strive for kindness.
What a beautiful place. So many people whose work I so admire. Gotta say though, Chris Cornell still breaks my heart to see gone. I guess it always will, I'm a huge fan. Thank you so much for sharing, and for letting me visit, even just on CZcams and not in person. Great vlog.
Me too. I went there last year from Australia & wanted to make the effort to get to Hollywood Forever mainly to pay my respects to Chris. It was incredibly sad to see his name on a headstone.
I started going as a teenager in the 1980's. We would always Hope to see the 2nd "Lady in Black" She would leave flowers at Rudolph Valentino's crypt. I got to see her only once, that was alot of fun.
I grew up in Hollywood..My Father worked in this industry...He met my Step Mother when this place was still Hollywood Memorial Park back when as she worked for the prior owner. I never did explore this one much..so thanks for this great video... They certainly have improved the old place. I grew up down the road & worked in a different business in media .... My Dad became a funeral director elsewhere. Great tour of this one.
Great video, Adam!! I'm sorry to see that the cemetery is getting a little run-down. The grass around the grave stones needs to be edged, Rose Bushes Cut Back, etc etc. Just after the Cassidys bought that place from Jules Roth's company they really made it look wonderful..putting millions of dollars into restoring the cemetery. I hope everything is o.k. and they're still doing well.
Honestly, I wish I could give this more likes. It's pretty awesome being able to see these places... places I'd never be able to go without a CZcams tour guide. Thank you again, Adam! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Your research is so seamless, and with your sensitive presentation and moving narrative you make it make it all look effortless. This is so excellent. I was mesmerized and almost forgot to forgot to breathe. Thank.you
I adore "The Wizard of Oz" and although it had several directors tied to the project, Victor Fleming got the credit in the end. He was known as the "fix it" director. When "Gone with the Wind" needed help, they called him and he left Oz and the rest is history.
What a peaceful video. Thanks Adam.
That was so fascinating! Love cemeteries! But this was beyond a regular cemetery! Thank you for having us visit with you!
We miss all the Hollywood stars of yesterday🛶🌹🌹🌹
Rest In Peace Don Adams, you made every 60’s kid laugh their heads off, you’ll be forever In our hearts.
Rocky III scene was awesome.It’s amazing what history you can learn by just walking through a graveyard. I especially enjoyed history of a Hollywood graveyard. Great video man
Mel Blanc was super talented guy, and went to high school here in Portland ..wow this was such a awesome vlog, great work Adam, you rock so much! 😎
This is the best video I’ve seen in regards to old Hollywood star graves with details of each person thank you once again
Thank you
1:02 and I oop- sorry im not trying to be disrespectful
I did the same in my head lol
i thought i was the only one who noticed this
Jayme Barr 😂
l m a o
you did such great job with this episode! You could have one down a different road mentioning the causes of death for some of these people or the way some lived their lives, but you chose to be respectful. Thank you for taking the high road.
My grandparents are buried there. Thank you for sharing!
May they RIP
Love how you showed the beauty of the place along showing the famous. I remember when it was in disrepair and sad. So many of us are so happy to this day that it was bought and brought to what it should be.
You are extremely respectful and your video tour is very well done. Thank you!!
I found this so peaceful. Could you do another one again. Thank you 😊❤️
Love cemetery walks Always interesting
I discovered several things (I didn’t know! I don’t know how I’ve missed this for almost 2 years!)
It’s sometimes pretty strange to honor the odd wishes people stipulate to before they die, is it not?
As always, your easy way of talking to us, your straightforward manner of relaying information without embellishments…..you truly are a natural, Adam.
I love when you have a specific destination in mind, BUT, how and when you get there is up for grabs!! These are nearly always the most fun!
Keep on doin’ what you’re doin’! Stay safe and be well. 🙏🏼
I know this cemetery quite well. Visited there many many times. Even enjoyed watching Casablanca right outside back in 2010. It's a peaceful resting place for many many stars in Hollywood.
That's such a great amazing cemetery! A lot of history resides in there.
Thank you for your visit to Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Very well done.
So peaceful there. Rudolph's resting place/tomb.. yes he was handsome, but beyond that just felt moved and got chills by that that one . A lovely place.
I learned quite a bit from this vlog Adam! Thank you. I love cemeteries. They're a special reminder of so many very special people💖
Glad you did . Thanks
Yes, I did learn something new...My favorite Darren McGavin Tv series is "Kolchak" worth a watch for campy Sci Fi! great day to you
Great show
One of my favorite actors.
Glad to see you making vids again Adam. always great to watch them.
Hello, I am here from watching the movie "Judy". Always a fan of Judy Garland. After watching the movie, feel such deep sadness for Judy. I read she was originally buried in. New York. I am glad her children moved her back to Hollywood. What a beautiful, peaceful resting place. I hope she is at peace. 🙏🌈🌪💖
You're a true gentleman Adam. You showed much respect for the lives of those celebrities who have passed on. It was also a very enjoyable watch, thanks you.
Such a beautiful place
Me too
great vlog Mr Woo , for me these are the vlogs you excel in . very interesting and full of facts and great camera angles . you also have one of the best voices on youtube .
Really appreciate that . Thank you
The amount of respect and knowledge you have going into these places is very admirable. Well done adam
I dearly enjoyed this video of the famous cemetery. It is of course very beautiful and seeing Hollywood on the mountain and Paramount Studios water tower. All the beautiful Headstones. Some were made of the person who had died. That just showed just how much the family loved them. They had worked hard and left a lot of money and the family spent it on them right up to the end. They had a stone of there statue.
I was surprised to realize how relaxed I had become after watching this vlog. way to mellow, Adam...
I have learned a lot about movie stars in a lot of your vlogs. I have learned also new vacation spots because of your videos. Keep them coming Adam.
thanks for the tour. Love how you spoke in hushed tones. Respectful and dramatic at the same time.
I would love to visit this cemetery and pay my respects. So many amazing people. Thank you Adam! Happy Valentine's day, sending you some love and a hug!
*Definitely Added To Favorites!* Thanks for the splendid tour! (I used to work for Forever Cemeteries)
Glad you enjoyed it . Thanks so much
Epic!!!!!
Such a peaceful and beautiful place!!!
Thanks Adam!!!
Thank you for your Great Video and Honouring the Greats and Greatest of the old and anew Hollywood ❤❤
Great channel. I spent my Sunday Morning watching. Thank you.
Found you originally years ago when you did the hidden cemetery in LA. Watched through your daily vlogs and still enjoy your videos! Another neat vlog, I love seeing old Hollywood spots.
The Peacock Crossing sign had bird poo on it, haha! Great video, I am a little obsessed with the graveyard youtube videos and visiting the really old graveyards in Massachusetts where I am from. Not in a creepy way but in a history is awesome kind of way.
Man ,so informative ,one of the best hollywood forever clips.
Going to Forest Lawn Glendale and Hollywood Forever cemetery are definitely on my bucket list since I wanna pay respects to famous celebrities who contributed so much for all of us and gave us so many amazing memories of them and their works
Nicely done Adam
Good walk though
Enjoyed it very much ..
Joe
Thanks glad you did
I love cemetery tours! Sad but interesting.
What a beautiful and serene place! Thank you for showing it to us.
Always find these videos fascinating. You did a very respectful video!
I enjoy all your videos and your sense of humor. And great job with all the details on the angles of certain shots of photos in your vlog. Your attention to detail is remarkable and all the information on what you are videoing is really great. Really tells the story!
I attempt to let that aspect shine they a bit . Thank you for noticing and saying so
I saw Chris Perform in Jacksonville Florida at the Art Bar in 1993 Soundgarden was awesome.
My grandfather was a cousin to Cecil B. DeMille. My grandfather's last name was DeMille also!
Wonderful tour.
The pond has since been drained and cleaned, with the turtles and birds enjoying a fresh environment.
Been there a few times myself, thank you for this beautiful upload. Brings back good memories. Looking to make it back there soon.
I have always wanted to visit this Cemetery. Thanks for another rad video.
Glad you enjoyed it
such a beautiful place, ty for sharing.
Went there some years ago yes Johnny Ramon statue stuck out to me and the Cecil B Demillie huge stone graves...
Awesome tour! Thank you. So much history to learn about. Good job. 🌻🌻☺🍂🍁
I love Ernest Goes to Camp❤️
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Valentine’s Day kinda sucks
So I’m joyful for notifications
From the Daily Woo
Awesome 👍👍 - Happy Valentines Day from a complete stranger lol
Boston_guy 617 thanks! And a happy Valentine’s Day to you! 😊
Happy Valentines Day.
Bridget Warebear . Bridget I’m sorry you had a bad Valentine’s Day. I wish you nothing but HAPPINESS.🧸🌹💕
Thor thanks so much. In honesty, the day itself was okay, just not a huge fan of the actual holiday! I’m more on board with having a second Halloween instead.
I am a avid CZcamsr....watcher. And that was by far the most captivating thing I have EVER watched on YT. I am a fan for life now. Amazing job.
Thanks for posting! So interesting & a history lesson, too. Gone the way of all flesh!
Love watching your videos- thank you💕 Ever think about Winchester Mystery House in San Jose? Just a thought- Happy Valentine’s Day💕
Awe... I see you already did this one:)
Right next to Valentino was June Mathis, who was the screenwriter and future MGM exec that discovered Valentino.
Very cool thanks for the info
@@TheDailyWoo June Mathis loaned her Crypt space so Valentino had a temporary burial spot , as his death was so sudden ,plans were in place to build a grand memorial ,but funds were not found and his Hollywood pals never stumped up the cost
the man who had bought the crypt space next to Valentino moved back to Italy, and sold the crypt back to June
she died a few years after Valentino oddly , they then moved Valentino to the other crypt and put June Mathis where she is now !!
Thanks for this Adam.....this is something I wanted to see when we visited back in 2012 and couldn’t .......so this was fantastic. Great quality on the video. Watching on the flat screen;). Thank you again.
What a beautiful place. Thank you for filming there. Hardly a bad composition anywhere. The peacocks were gorgeous.
I still watch Darren McGavin on Nighstalker reruns.
Liked him in A Christmas Story
KK
Such gorgeous peacocks 🦚 I want to take them home.
I have been to Hollywood Forever many times. It's a beautiful and peaceful place. The resting place of legends and others. Loved the video and I learned a few things. The Daily Woo does my kind of videos.
Jacob visited Johnny Appleseed's gravebin Ft' Wayne so I just watch your vlog from 2014. You have improved so much from then. You do know those trees were crab apples like Johnny planted. His apples were small and bitter and used to make hard cider - he would be shocked to see our large tasty apple varieties of today!
I saw he went there . Very cool
RIP Kurt and Chris. All the others as well
All deaths are tragic, obviously, but i feel Anton Yelchin's death is just so, so terribly sad and just utterly bizarre. I still can't fathom how that happened. It's one of those stories you hear the actor retell to a chat show host, like "yeah, and i almost died! My stupid truck nearly ran me over! Haha!". Argh. RIP, mate.
So sad.
I agree. It shocked me when I heard he had died. Just as much as when I heard River Phoenix died.
His family eventually sued Fiat, who owns Jeep, it’s was rules an accident failure to engage hand brake, while in neutral, however Fiat settled with the family, due to a recall
@@f.w.1318 A short while after his death, Jeep sent out a letter to owners to have their vehicles updated with a safety feature that automatically puts you vehicle into "Park" when the drivers door is opened, when the car is stationary.
look I'm not trying to be disrespectful in no way at all
But how is it Jeep's fault he put his jeep in NEUTRAL and got out?! any one that drives a car knows putting your car in N it can and will roll! ESPECIALLY on a hill.
sorry to hear about his tragic death but I don't see how the company is to blame here. it would be different if he put the Emergency break on or put it in park.
Loved the scene in Ernest Goes To Camp where Iron Eyes was stuffing tennis balls into the pitching machine. My mom having owned a few video stores I watched that movie whenever I wanted. ( plus many others but Ernest Goes To Camp by far was my favorite) After she passed away we were getting her estate sorted and I found the the screener copy of it,
My elementary school was nearby the cemetery. When I got older, I visited the cemetery. It felt strange to walk around and realized some of these were/are one of my favorite actors peacefully asleep forever.
