It should be noted that there are two conflicting reports about Dorothy Dandridge's cause of death. In the video I mention accidental drug overdose, however it has also been suggested that she died of a rare embolism.

Hollywood Graveyard you should head to: Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Hollywood Graveyard: Either way it's very sad!
The narrator has the best documentary speaking voice ever and the information given on each star puts these videos far above any of the other videos anywhere.
My favorite part of the videos is that voice.
I could listen to him for hours!!!
He should be the new voice for forensic files
He'd be good in a modern Twilight Zone series and/or a 'Twilight Zone: The Movie 2', which I hope will one day be made.
Hes just awesome!!! Like this guy alot
George Burns and Gracie Allen is what a true love story is all about!
Vicky Lynn amen yes it is
You're right about that. George said it himself.
Maybe you can provide me a tour sometime Vicky ur intelligence of what true love is incredible I had no idea until u told me
I agree with you. If only there were men like him today.
Sandia Taylor I’m a man
One thing I noticed on a few of the graves is that rather than, "great actor" or "character name" they've chosen to have their military rank and service branch noted. Despite the fame, they wanted people to know they served their country. Very cool.
That ending with George Burns watching Hollywood Graveyard is one of the most inspired endings ever.
Thank you for being one of the best in entertainment, all while finding a way to make that method your own and not a bit sad or morbid.
It was so pleasant seeing Sam Cooke's final resting place...his voice was so pleasant 💙🖤
love his another saturday night song
The details of his murder were recently released in an amazing documentary. The company he started to record other artists exists to this day making millions. What a tragic loss.
Many people in particular his peers consider his voice the greatest of all time. Severely underrated nowadays
Natalie Cole's version of Unforgetable with her father was a beautiful rendition!!!!!!!
I still miss them both ... Both so talented
It was my parents song. Unforgettable is engraved on their headstone
This should be a TV show. I mean the intro,the credits,EVERYTHING. TV material.
Agreed totally! Would love to see this on Netflix.
I definitely agree this should be a tv show its very informative
I'm so happy you gave Dorothy Dandridge her flowers 💐 It's sad she didn't receive them in life! Thank you Authur 😊
I've seen other TH-cam videos that are disrespectful to the departed. You show such respect for the departed. Please keep bringing us these great videos.
Like JayStation
Your videos are so professional. I hope you are being paid the big bucks and this is not just a hobby for you. You are one of the greats. Thank you so much for doing this for us. Your voice is very soothing too, "Hollywood Graveyard."
Agreed. Both the photography and narration are, in a word, respectful. Much dignity and maturity.
George burns!! that was so beautiful to see, a man who truly adored his wife, it must have broken his heart when she passed away! At least they are together now! ❤️
Walt Disney made my childhood really exciting by building Disney World. I’ve gone to Disney World since I was 3 years old and it’s all thanks to him when I go back I feel like a child all over again and it always brings a smile to my face when I see Mickey Mouse and many more. If he was still alive I would love to thank him for his work.
You have a very pleasing voice that lends perfectly to this interesting and informative type of video. Applause and thanks to you dear sir.
I agree Ken
perfection perfection perfection
Voice is very similar to actor Vincent Kartheiser.
I don't get why there so many unmarked graves. It's amazing how we live our lives and at the end, we all end up the same. Love your videos
NILDA RODRIGUEZ I've been looking into it, just out of curiosity, and I've found that numerous graves may go unmarked for a few reasons: 1) if the actor or actress was Jewish, there is a tradition that a temporary marker stand for 1 year after death. After that 1 year, they get a proper marker. Or 2) the deceased was old and preceded in death by family and friends, leaving no one to look after the headstone/marker. Sometimes families purposely keep graves unmarked out of a desire to keep the final resting place private. They may do this out of a desire to keep knowledge of the grave within only the close friends and family. In some cases, the deceased was a controversial figure, and the family/friends were fearful that the grave could be vandalized. And sadly in some cases, there isn't anyone to oversee the grave. Judith Barsi, for example... She was a child actress who had also done voice work in cartoons. Sadly, her father was terribly abusive and ended up killing Judith, and I believe he killed her mother as well. Fans took up donations and saw to it that Judith finally got a headstone a few years ago.
Sorry for the novel, there! Just wanted to shed a little light on that topic for you! 💗🖤
@@JennaLeigh did it say "yep yep yep"?
@@minority86 it does! I can't remember all that is written on it, but it says "For the Beautiful Judith Eva Barsi", then has the dates, and at the very bottom, it says "Yep! Yep! Yep!" The fans who raised the money and oversaw it did a marvelous job!💗💗
You look a bit like Elizabeth Taylor.
@@margieniles7324 wow! She does, doesn't she? Good eye!
I’m incredibly jealous that you had access to the Garden of Honor but thankful you were able to take us on a tour!
What you showed there was true romance between: George Burns &
Gracie Allen.
Or at least buried beside her father Nat
you do a fine job on these tours. You make them light hearted but very respectful. fine job.
I love the history you bring to light of these stars . At 60 I know some but I have heard of many more.
I enjoy your presentation good job
That story of George Cukor and Mrs. Goldwyn is really sweet. Even in death their friendship endures.
I remember Natalie Cole accompanied her late father Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable" that beautiful duet of father and daughter sent chills up my spine; I miss those two gifted people! 🙁
Nat King Cole singing "Unforgettable" is absolutely amazing! Truly a voice of velvet.
Natalie Cole grave headstone is now actually completed and it's beautiful, who ever designed it did a splendid job.
Where is it?

@@lishaundadawson883 thank you
Thank you so much for this video! I moved to LA in 1973 and spent the first few years exploring the wonders of Forest Lawn. I never thought I would see these graves again, and thank you for downloading this video. Somehow, you managed to show all the graves I discovered, on my own, forty-four years ago! Many of my friends thought it was weird I had such an interest in going to Forest Lawn, but when I would take them and show them the grave sites I had discovered, they quickly changed their mind! :)
David Loehmann You, my man, are a good man! I also have been making my rounds at Forest Lawn and Hollywood Forever. It’s been an absolute charming and blessed time!
David Loehmann AND my husband and I just moved RIGHT next door to beautiful Forest Lawn! Be well :) keep up your spiritual Grave Tours!
If you’ve seen An American Werewolf in London, you may recognise Sam Cooke as the guy who sung Blue Moon during David’s first transformation. Just for those wondering who it was
Thank you for this. Nat King Cole is my favorite singer of all time. I hope to pay my respects to him one day. 🙏🏽
R.I.P. Walt Disney, Sammy Davis Jr, Nat King Cole and Sam Cooke💮💮💮💮
Mr. Sam Cooke will always be my hero.
Daniela Santos Yes, may they all Rest In Peace. :(
@Mark ZoobkoffIt's an Urban myth, not true at all.
Clara Bow - what a beauty! 😍
Rest in peace Sammy Davis Junior and Sam Cooke
Arthur, Thank-You for a WONDERFUL WALK through a very BELOVED 'Cemetery'! I know ALOT of 'Hollywood Trivia, and will share this story with you. Gracie had a thing for 'CENTERPIECES'. So much so, that she and George had a TERRIBLE FALLING OUT, because Gracie was wanting a new one! George leaves, and when he returns the following MORNING, has a BEAUTIFUL NEW CENTERPIECE for Gracie!!!! Well, she knew what had transpired!!!! Gracie was overheard telling a friend a few years later - "I wish George would cheat again! I need a new CENTERPIECE!"
I loved Sammy Davis Jr. He was a great entertainer. He was a wonderful singer also a great comedian. My favorite was, when he was on All In The Family, he kissed Archie Bunker, played by Carroll O'Connor. It was hilarious! They were quite a pair.
God bless Mr. Sam Cooke!
Clara Bow was EXTREMELY underrated. Was the top star for a few years. Louise Brooks rated her the best.
Thank you for such tasteful videos. So sad so many are unmarked. Sammy Davis, Jr. Will always be the most versatile and accomplished entertainer who ever lived.
I really love that you are showing older actors as well not just current. I was not able to see all the graves I wanted when I visited there a few years back. Thank you for making this
Sam Cooke: A Change is Gonna Come
There are no words that haven't already been said on how great these videos are. 👍👍 Love the ending w/ George Burns. I think he would've liked it 😉
Rest In Peace Sammy Davis Jr. December 8, 1925-May 16, 1990
The true level of your talent is not just continuing to produce high quality videos, but keeping each succeeding video fresh and unique. You should receive an Oscar for your creative idea of having George Burns watching Hollywood Graveyard on his TV. Now, how many people would have thought of doing that? Not many. Undoubtedly, you will include Michael Jackson's resting place in subsequent videos. Just look for all of the sunflowers placed by fans near Michael's location as I understand the sunflower was his favorite flower. Thanks very much for your continued excellence and creativity.
Wish you had shown more about Errol Flynn. He was quite dashing.
Short shrift to the greatest swashbuckler of the sound era. A short film clip was in order. It is well-known however Flynn wanted to be buried in Jamaica, not in California.
He was. It was known that he and Olivia de Havilland, whom he worked with in NINE FILMS, had romantic feelings for each other, but they never pursued each other because of marital commitments to their spouses. Since Olivia passed last year, I hope she is reunited with Errol. Those two were truly meant to be together.
Joseph Barbera the creator of The Jetsons and more along with William Hanna is buried here as well as Lauren Bacall
its been quite a many years since I visited the area where Walt Disney and his family are buried. Back then I remembered it having LOTS of foliage with trees and shurbrey; guess they decided to "clean it all out". Great videos, keep me coming! Love all the Hollywood history! :)
Yes, just within the last few months actually they cleared out the overgrown trees in his garden plot. It's much cleaner and nicer now.
I am Glad That you Mentioned Natalie Cole and The Others like Elezebeath Taylor Mother Jefferson on the Jefferson show and so on
I really can't stop watching this with love and amazement, I'm totally addicted now. It's everything I wanted from a documentary and a good juicy mix of Hollywood's movie stars history. This is such a treat I keep watching them over and over again whoever thought of this is genius and should get some serious recognition ♥️
I saw Natalie Cole performing in Amherst, Mass. (Early 70s).
Later, we talked about her leaving for California to sign a contract with Capitol records..
This cemetery is STUNNING. The mausoleums, the chapels, the artwork, the architecture is breathtaking def on my bucket list!!!!
I prefer Clara Bow's It instead of Stephen King's It.
Speaking of it, how is a tv movie better than a theatrical release?
@@stevep5408 Tim Curry.
Who doesnt
WELL DONE!!!!! I'm super impressed as always!! You got through the locked areas like you own the joint! And that shot of you early on, walking through the mausoleum, like a total boss! As usual, I can't wait to see your next video.
DonnySpielberg are you related to Steven Spielberg?
Famous Grave Tours. I throughly enjoye watching these, havnt herd of half of them but as soon as you explain what they did in Hollywood, an showed clips, was quite fascinating.
I bloody well enjoyed this. I love the old stars. Thanks. xx
George's unconditional love for his wife Gracie 🥺💔 Who wouldn't want that?!! 😭😭 RIP- may they both rest in peace TOGETHER again in heaven 🙏🙏🙏
I really enjoy the historic narrative you include in your program; so many talented people that I did not know of-hope you’ll do more of these!
I really appreciate your videos. I enjoy the amount of respect you give to everyone you visit, and the research done about them. Your voice is quite pleasing, and I appreciate your notation about your shadow, for those of us who'd question it being otherwise. Please don't stop making these types of videos, they are truly enjoyable 😊.
Just that enjoy ya shadow on death row luv
I went to this cemetery in 2016 when I was in California for the Breeders Cup and the window featuring the Last Supper is just incredible.
I saw many times this video, and I find always something new. In another video, talking about Eymie Gormé, I remember Nat King Cole who sang in spanish too, he recorded three albums: "Cole Español", "A Mis Amigos" and "More Cole Español". The biggest Cole's hit in spanish is "Ansiedad". Nat had many fans in Latin America, and in spite of his death, fifty-two years ago, his music still is aired in latin radios. In Peru sounds many times. In case of Natalie, her daughter, I remain a song called "Sophisticated Lady" who was a hit in my country. Greets from Peru...
And it's for you what I heard for very first time the music of Sam Cooke...
Thank you for showing me around this Hollywood graveyard! Saves me having to get on a plane and fly to see it!! Perfectly entertaining and very well produced!
I have been to Michael Landon's grave and many others.
So happy you showed Dorothy Dandridge ❤️
Very beautiful cemetery! There are a lot of well known celebrities! I would love to one day visit there to be able to visit Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., Sam Cooke, and a lot of others!
I recently saw Disney's grave. I'm amazed that it's so modest, considering this is the final resting place of Walt Disney. Don't get me wrong though, it is very beautiful. It's very strange how when I got there, I was happy that I got to see where Disney is today, but also felt quite melancholy to remember that he is gone. I also saw Nat King Cole and the George and Gracie.
Thanks to the generosity of Mrs Lillian Disney and her family there is the splendid Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles.
Hugh O' Brian is my hero if it takes 80 years + to get married then so be it
Awwwww. Dorothy Dandridge ❤️
Thank you for being so respectful to forest lawn my family is laid there, very nice video too. It is a great peaceful place.
I am very impressed with this video. Great job!
Thank you kindly for all your hard work in making these great video's. I love them and can't wait for the next one. Thank you again.
Not an easy thing to do. Informative but still very respectful to the deceased and their resting places.
Wow these museums are amazing, I need to visit all these amazing museums in the world in my lifetime
Who would of thought that you are a fan of the Big Band sound (Natalie Cole singing Paper Moon)? I love it. In addition to your other exquisite talents, you also have great taste in music. Arguably, what the majority of your viewers don't realize is that they are bearing witness to your evolving genius. Seriously, the epilogue of George Burns turning on the television to watch your videos - sheer brilliance. With the large number of celebrities buried at this location (James Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Elizabeth Taylor, etc.), I could easily see you devoting more than 3 videos to Forest Lawn Glendale. Whatever the case, I look forward to your next production. All of your videos are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I'm guessing that it is an original work composed by Arthur Dark's colleague Giuseppe Vasapolli. It is a beautifully haunting melody perfect as background music for this type of video.
Love the tour Arthur. Keep it going.
I really like this site! It is beautifully presented in every way.
Thank you Arthur Dark for your videos. It's so nice to reminisce about all the people who were so talented and brought so much entertainment and joy to the world. The music is very creepy. Well done and I could listen to your lovely voice all day.
natalie Cole was gorgeous
Norma Lawson I didn't realise she had died. X
Norma Lawson He hated white people, fuck him
and you know this how?
Campervan Elvis I toof on you: Do you know how to comment without using such language?!
Norma Lawson: Yes she was! At least now she's Resting in peace with her Dad, Mr. Nat King Cole!
I was just there and was not allowed to take pictures inside. There are signs posted outside. Was very disappointed. It was truly beautiful. Only got to see Clark Gables from a distance.
Wow, that’s a beautiful place. I remember George Burns talking on tv about how much he loved and missed Gracie, it was so sweet. #relationshipgoals for real!
I have a new found respect for George Burns.With his beloved Gracie for eternity now.
Casey Kasem was apparently meant to be buried here but his wife absconded with his body and buried him out in Norway.
Good
greeniem what
FilmFella Daniels ugh ikr
Sam Cooke ❤
What a fabulous tour! You are the best! It is a shame, that Natalie Cole's family; has not given her a Tomb Stone! R.I.P. All!! 👼🙏👼
Your Video's are an Historical Journey through both Music and Film . And Not just wandering around Cemetery's dropping names as so many others do . The editing is excellent as well . I have learned a great deal from your travels. And I Thank You !
I’ve spent the last two days watching all of these videos. First-rate and very interesting. Thanks, Arthur. The Travel Channel should sign you to a contract.
Sam Cooke’s voice sounds like a 2000s modern voice!
My old stomping grounds! I worked briefly at FL when I lived in Glendale and it was fantastic being around the old buildings all day. The security staff are ruthless, though. They will turn the sprinklers on you if you appear to be a lookie-loo!
I never heard of Natalie Cole's passing. Well, she'll be singing joyfully with her dad now.
Nicely presented video. I'm going to watch the other parts now.
love forest lawn one of my favorite places! wish the garden of honor was open to regular people 😔😔
My aunt is buried in Dawn of Tomorrow. Im going there next April..im in the midwest
I watched a bio on Clara Bow. The studio teased movie goers for about a year with clips like you included, making the "She's got IT" shorts in what was probably the first teaser for a coming attraction. And as always, "Bravo" to you for another great video. Arthur, you too have got IT!
"Wow!, this is fantastic how you put this together, I love history, thank you for the Hollywood history, this is not morbid at all, love the art"!!!! 😀
Oh my gosh I love your videos so much keep coming
Thanks!
Hollywood Graveyard excellent work!

Beautiful work on all these videos. I use to visit all of these places during my visits to CA.
Love the musical clips and photos and of course Arthur's smooth and relaxing voice.
THANK GOD Cowboys season starts today, I need to feel ALIVE after watching 3 of these in a row..
What a fascinating and really well done video, I thank you sir!
I love these videos. You are a great talent, always well researched and presented. I am looking forward to watching more.
Great great videos. Keep em' coming!
You made my heart happy adding Dorothy 🖤
Very well done. Excellent research and all presented in a highly detailed and professional manner. Nice job.
You’re melting my heart with these wonderful stars. I feel like no one knows who these ppl are anymore. My absolute favorite is Jeanette MacDonald. Gah! And Joan Blondell! 😍🤩
I've enjoyed you're graveyard tours on Los Angeles - They are done tastefully & respectfully for the departed & their families. I'm quite surprised you were able to tour Forest Lawn they way you did without being harassed by security.
The story of The Lone Ranger continues to delight after all these years, even though it was beset in its last two incarnations by bad script writing, bad Direction, Bad acting and bad actors.
A little known fact: John Reed became the Lone Ranger fighting for Law and Order in the early West. His great, great grandson also fought for Law and Order, and even though he too wore a mask and had a faithful sidekick, he was believed to be a Criminal. HIS name was Britt Reed, otherwise known as "The Green Hornet".
The final resting place of Van Williams, The Green Hornet of 1966, is unknown.
Beautiful work! My friend I AM brazilian very good ! Wonderfull cemetery lindo trabalho amigo eu sou brasileiro muito bom! Adorei seu trabalho já estou seguindo seu canal parabens!!!
Love the last bit with George Burns! I’ve seen all of their shows! Great job!
Wonderful video, thank you, I wish that you would've acknowledged Mrs. Maria Cole, Mr. NAT King Cole's wife, & Ms. Natalie Col's mother, but an awesome video still😉👌🏿
