Today I visit the gravesites and former Encino ranch home of of gay comic actor, Edward Everett Horton.
Edward Everett Horton's former estate is located on Edward Everett Horton Lane in Encino, California.
Horton is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, CA. I also visit his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
He's probably best remembered as the narrator of the 1960s FRACTURED FAIRYTALES cartoons, Chief Screaming Chicken on the BATMAN tv show, Roaring Chicken on the tv show F TROOP and for his roles in classic movies such as IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD, and for co-starring with Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers in movies like TOP HAT, SHALL WE DANCE and THE GAY DIVORCEE.
Thanks for joining me today and for sharing the memories!

I’m 72 so I certainly remember him.Great character actor.
The fact that his name is instantly recognizable to us is really showing our age LOL
Lol right?! 😂👍
He was always a favorite of mine, particularly his Fractured Fairytales.
He was a great comic actor. Fractured Fairytales was my favorite. Another great background story.
@@rogerboatwright4300 Fractured Fairy tales was narrated by him. June Foray did Rocky Squirrel, Natasha, and the female roles of Fractured fairytales and Nell Fenwick of Dudley Do Right.
I definitely remember Edward Everett Horton.
He also appeared in several episodes of Dennis the Menace as George Wilson's eccentric uncle Ned. Thanks Steve.
Good memory Gil!
Edward Everett Horton had an expressive, delightful, and soothing voice. So sad to me to see all these homeless folks living in tents in CA.
Fractured Features was a favorite of mine. Loved his voice ! My wife is like everyone else I know. No one knows of him. How sad. I love seeing him in movies. He always reminds me of my happy childhood. Thank you Steve for highlighting this accomplished actor.
Thanks Henry! 😊👍
Horton had one of those rare, truly distinctive and instantly recognizable voicee, but we'd have trouble putting a face to it. I wonder if he did any other voiceovers for commercials or movies. Had audiobooks existed then, I don't think he would have wanted for work.
EEH added so much fun to all those movies he appeared in. Thanks to TCM for bring all those classics to modern audiences. My first awareness of him as a child was in the Rocky and Bullwinkle show. Fractured Fairy Tales were, and ARE still the best... Never knew anything about his private life before..
That’s the thing about being forced into the closet. It hides a lot of interesting history about so many famous people. Thanks for sharing with us Jennifer! 😊👍
Loved him in fred and ginger movies.
He has ALWAYS been one of my favorite actors! Thank you for this!
I just checked his Wikipedia page and it states he also built houses on his ranch for his brother, sister and their families. What a great guy.
Yes, it sounded like the whole family live there, which must’ve been pretty neat. A lot more common back in those days too for families to all live close together. 😊👍
He was a wonderful actor. Marvelous In everything he did. May he RIP.
Oh, I forgot...my favorite of his roles was as Mr. Dinckler in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World...remember?
Yes, he was always great!
I loved Fractured Fairy Tales. Truthfully, I still watch many of the cartoons I grew up with.
EEH was just priceless -- that he shares his birthdate with me, always is the icing my cake, along with bingeing on Fractured Fairytales. Think of that laugh... 😄
Edward Everett Horton. Great actor. Played with many great stars . Thanks Steve. Stay Safe.
Thanks Teena and you too! 😊👍
Whenever I hear Horton's name, I usually think of HOLIDAY with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. He always delivered a memorable performance.
I remember his voice from the cartoon version of Aesop's Fables
My mother was a great fan of the Astair/ Rodgers films and i remember him well watching all these films on tv . Great comic actor, love the faces he pulled. Grest job steve!!!
Thanks Billy! 😊👍
I love old movies and definitely know who Edward Everett Horton is. He passed away before I was born.He was a great actor.
I remember Mr Horton from the old movies & I love Lucy & F Troop
I loved his acting. He was a great comedian.
congradulations on 60,000 subscribers
Thanks Scott! After I changed my channel‘s name and the channel direction a little bit thousands of people unsubscribed, so I didn’t think I would ever reach 60,000! With so many people unsubscribing I may not stay at 60,000 for very long, but I will enjoy it for today anyway. 😂👍
EEH was absolutely wonderful
I definitely remember Edward Everett Horton. He was such a great character, very funny. Thanks Steve for the great video!
Thanks Franklin. I’m happy to see that so many viewers still remember him. 😊👍
I remember him from old classic movies..thanks for sharing Steve!!!👍🏻👏
What a great vid. My favorite role he played was Lovett in
Frank Capras movie Lost Horizon. Your channel has become one of my favorites!!
Thanks C, that’s really nice to hear! 😊👍
I loved Edward Everett Horton's double take. Nobody could do it like him.Great Vlog as usual. Hope you and Jim are doing well.
Lol, That’s for sure Joan 😂 all is good with us. Hope you are too! 😊👍
I remember him, as a kid watching fractured fairy tales, he had a distinctive voice perfect for the cartoon, thank you for what you do remembering days gone by, better days then ,..
Fractured fairy tales my favorite! Thanks Steve!
Thanks Ann! 😊👍
I remembered his voice from cartoons when I was child, and finally put a face with the voice when TCM showed the many movies he costarred in.
I loved that man's voice.
Your thoughtful tributes teach me so much. Love your channel so much! 🥰
Thank you cam, that’s so nice of you to say. 😘👍
I absolutely love him! He was also in Holiday (1938) with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn😊
Yes, another classic!
Yes, he was very memorable! I remember him from old movie classics.
I am very familiar with the work of Edward Everett Horton. Now that you mention it, he may indeed have been gay, not that it matters. I would have loved to have seen his ranch back when Vivian Vance was visiting. The golden age is gone forever; there aren't any real stars anymore. Sad.
Another great cemumentary!
Love,
SR
17 rooms and 14 fireplaces! Wow! What a place he had there with all the guests too. Batman was certainly a who's who of the time which is why I love it. I've clearly seen him in different things but I really didn't know who he was. He does have a nice spot in the cemetery!
I just discovered a bunch of comments from you that I didn't see at the time.
I remember him from Fractured Fairytales, Aesop's Fables and I Love Lucy. He did a lot of great voice overs. Speaking of Vivian Vance, she was always one of my favorites. :)
He was one of my favorites.
I love so many of his movies. He was funny in so many of them
I remember Edward Everett Horton. He was a favorite in our household.
He was so great💖
I remember Edward..he was always funny....
His accent sounded British when I was little. But now I hear it as that early Mid-Atlantic. A treasure of a man.
Thank you! I first noticed Edward Everett Horton in his Funny rolls in two Cary Grant films, Holiday 1938 with Katherine Hepburn and Arsenic and Old Lace 1944. He was such a delightful character actor. I have always been delighted to see him in any classic film. He was absolutely wonderful.
I certainly remember Edward Everett Horton. I loved to see him in all the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies, and the TV shows and the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. He was a great and funny comedic character actor.
I remember him well in the old movies he was a funny guy and had a distinctive voice.
I remember passing his house overlooking the freeway all during my childhood. He was a really funny actor and his mansion was a very large three story structure..good memories..
I remember him well; a great actor. Thanks Steve!
Howdy, Steve in San Diego here. I absolutely remember this actor. I remember the Lucy episodes, and him in other things. I’m huge Lucy fan, think I’ve seen everything she’s done.
Beautiful cemetery. Although I have lived in Southern California 50+ yrs, I’ve never been to any of the cemetery’s. Very beautiful.
I loved that show Rocky and Bullwinkle. He was just a kind of straight laced person. Very comedic and loveable.
I remembered him from F Troop and the Astaire movies...thanks for sharing.
A comic genius, who totally deserves to be remembered. I don't care about his private life, his crooked smile, double takes and looks of horror delighted cinema goers for many many years and lifted many a drab film. RIP
I knew his familiar face right away but didn't know his name. Now, thanks to you, I'll never forget it! I mostly remember Mr. Horton from the Fred Astaire movies --I've always been a huge Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly fan. Even when I was a kid, I always loved old movies. I also remember him from that I Love Lucy episode. Such a great character actor! Thanks for highlighting him!
I knew his wonderful voice from the Rocky & Bullwinkle show. Thank you for doing this video the way you did.
Thanks Scott! 😊👍
I remember him. Funny man. You would never know his home was there on that site huh. Ty for the adventure!!!
I just watched a movie last night with Edward Everett Horton and Bing Crosby. Horton was a great actor and one of my favorites.
How funny. Good timing Judy! 😊👍
I loved Fractured Fairy Tales!
I remember him ! Mostly from Batman and fractured fairytales. I’m going to look for some of the old movies though. Thanks for the Sunday morning class 👍🏻❤️🍎
Lol, thanks Maureen! 😂👍
I loved him in Top Hat and I remember him in F Troop.
Edward also performed at the Pasadena Playhouse. Good actor. Lovely person.
I mostly remember him as quite the dapper fellow in the Fred Astaire/ Ginger Rogers movies. Didn't realize that was his voice in Fractured Fairytales. Thanks Steve.
I didn't recognize his name at all so I'm SO happy I watched because I was a HUGE fan of Fractured Fairytales.
Great character actor!
Thanks, I remember him from the Fred Astaire movies too. He was hilarious.
Edward Everett Horton played Mr. Witherspoon in the movie Arsenic and Old Lace, which was filmed in the late 1930s but held for release after the tied had turned in WWII. He was a very funny performer who played virtually the same character in every movie.
Sorry if this post appears twice, but I wrote it once and must have forget to post it.
Thank you for sharing your video I remember him on I Love Lucy very funny man hope you are doing well stay safe till your next video have a great day.
Thanks Olivia!
I know who he is he was a great actor thank you for doing this blog Steve
Thanks Eric! 😊👍
My Favorite Movie. " Lost Horizons " ' Lovely ' ....lol thky
Remember him well, he was in practically everything. I particularly enjoyed him in “College Swing” which has a cavalcade of old Hollywood stars. Delightful scene where Gracie Allen dances for him as he is seated on the running board of a roadster. I still want that car.😹
That is so sad! That people would feel they had to be buried separate and couldn't be with those that they cared for . I am so glad that times have changed!
Me too Connie. But sadly this still happens today as well. Especially if couples aren’t legally married then their family usually gets to choose what happens to them after death. ☹️
Hi Steve, I remember him well. He really was a great character actor. Thanks for remembering him today ✌🌻
Thanks for watching, Linda! 😊👍
once again Awesome Job Steve, I Love the scenery in the back round. I'm Looking forward to the next video. God Bless & take care.
Great video 📸📸📸
Thanks Joe! 😊👍
I remember him and now I know why I liked him and his voice so much. "They Gay Divorcee?"
What a pleasant surprise to come across this video! I've known about and enjoyed EEH since the first time I saw him in a movie, which would have been about the mid-sixties. Thanks for remembering this wonderful character actor!!!
I would've loved to see his house, it must have been gorgeous! I remember a lot of the character actors, a lot of people don't.
I would’ve loved to have seen it too!
I really like Edward Everett Horton He was always fun to watch funny thing to me is he always look the same to me older of course but the same. Hi
Hi Thomas. I didn’t understand your last sentence.
Being a 'Boomer' my first exposure to Mr. Horton was, of course, Fractured Fairy Tales. Great narration by him. My favorite movie character of his is the minor role of 'Mr. Whitherspoon' in Frank Capra's dark comedy, "Arsenic And Old Lace", where he played the director of the Happydale Mental Asylum.
You have a very good memory Terry. I remember seeing the movie decades ago, but it’s been so long ago that I don’t even remember his role. Thanks for sharing this with us! 😊👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel AAOL is a Halloween tradition of mine (story takes place on Halloween). And, I was Officer Klein in the play. So it's very dear to me. EEH's deadpan demeanor was perfect for his character in the movie.
Good morning Steve 🙋🏽.
Good morning Carole! 👋
@@TheGraveyardChannel I keep forgetting, GOOD MORNING JIM🙋🏽👍🏽
Remember him well. Funny Chief Screaming Chicken and the Fairy Tales. Great video
Thanks Mitchell! 😊👍
I don't remember him, but I do remember fractured fairy tales from rocky and bullwinkle reruns. Another great video, Steve. I know I'm a little younger(born in 71) but my mother loved all the old Hollywood movies and I almost always know who you're speaking about. 💖
Thanks for watching and sharing with us Jennee!
I remember him being in an episode of Dennis the Menace.🤗
Love him in Rocky & Bullwinkle show
I remember seeing that street sign many years ago and wondering why the street was so short. With the 101 cutting it, now I know why. Thanks for featuring EEH. Loved his characters and narration on Bullwinkle and Rocky's FFTs.
I enjoyed the visits. Thanks Steve! 😃
Thanks Tom. Glad to hear that! 😊👍
I had never heard of him. Thanks
He was a good actor/comedian great 👍 Vlog Steve!!!!!! Keep them coming! Len
Thanks Len! 😊👍
I always watch your videos but never comment but it is funny that you posted the grave of Edward Everett Horton today, I just received a DVD of 8 of his silent short films that was produced by Undercrank Productions, I was one of many backers for this project that will be released to the public next month. I did not know that he was a leading actor in the silent era and was quite popular at the time. Thank you for the video Steve.
Hey Steve! Great video on Edward Everett Horton! I've seen him in many old movies from the 30s and 40s! Great actor! Thank you for sharing!👍😀
Thanks Bill 👍
Nice one. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.❤
My favorite Edward scene was on I Loved Lucy. His expressions were hilarious. Mr. Ritter!
You have a good memory Janine! 😊👍
Another great video.
Thanks, Steve.
Thanks Willie! 😊👍
Happy Weekend Steve & Jim hope the Family is well...
Thanks Wanda and the same to you! 😊👍
i collect memorabilia of edward for almost 15 years now (starting when i was 15). had a blog for him for about 3-4 years as well (sadly no more). i live in europe and would have never had the financial means to travel there to see his grave in person so THANK YOU!! this was AMAZING!! by now i think i should have 2000+ articles & pictures of his + several handwritten letters or signed autograph cards. one article i distinctly remember of him, which henceforth, made me think of him as rather bisexual and not gay. in it he personally says that he's stopped hoping for a woman to fall in love with him because he's never been optically appealing and characteristically a clown to them. he must have been interested in women in his youth but had no chance apparently. i assume he then had turned to the male sex and was more fortunate. something else that i want to share is that eddie himself knew of his stigmatization of being a "sissy" type actor and never acted upon it although he didn't really approve of it. he said that you can compare his sissy type roles with his roles where he played a leading man, a husband, a father and they will outclass them. the audience stigmatized him like that, not his way of acting. i see him more like a character type of actor rather than a comedian. in "roar of the dragon" for example, when his loved one dies, he takes a machine gun in grief and kills people. a very masculine role that defies his common image immensely. :-)
Thank you, so much, dordoni, for sharing this with us. How awesome that you have been collecting his memorabilia all of these years. Hopefully you will write a book about him. He certainly deserves one. Usually character actors don’t have such devoted fans like you from such a young age. I’m curious about what it was about Horton that made you such a fan?
In 1959 he and his mother celebrated her 100th birthday at his home in Encino.
Born before civil war imagine the change she had witnessed.
I remember as a little kid riding along the 101 headed toward our home in Canoga Park my mother would point off the freeway and blurt out, “that’s where Edward Everett Horton lives!” I didn’t know who the hell she was talking about and why she was so excited. Thanks to you, now I know! Too funny.
Lol, how funny! Thank you for sharing this fun memory with your mom! 😊👍
I remember growing up watching Rocky & Bullwinkle. The narrator of Fractured Fairytales. Saw him in movies with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers typically playing character roles.
Vivian Vance was from Cherryvale, Kansas and was known for her role as Ethel Mertz, the wife of Fred Mertz who was the cantankerous pinch penny landlord on I Love Lucy and as Bub on My Three Sons. Ms Vance spent her retirement years in Tiburon, California near San Francisco. She died of cancer in 1979, her remains were cremated a d her ashes scattered at sea.
Many thanks for doing this presentation! I was always a huge fan of EEH and he never fails to make me laugh (even today while watching his old films). In the early 1990's I became acquainted with an (older) lifelong autograph collector from New York City. His collection consisted of mostly signed "Playbills" from Broadway plays. Anyway, one of the first things I asked him was, did he have anything signed by Edward Everett Horton (?) It turned out that he did, and I still treasure the 1965 Playbill from "Carousel" which Mr. Horton signed - it was from the last stage production in which he appeared (this was at the newly opened "Lincoln Center.") Mr. Horton's clear signature was not hurriedly scribbled - it's letter perfect, as you might expect. Thanks again for your great efforts. Cheers to all!
I did know him because of Fractured Fairy Tales, but I also loved him in his last movie role, a non-speaking role, Cold Turkey. He was also great in Top Hat and Arsenic and Old Lace. I believe he guested on Dennis the Menace TV show at least two times, and I enjoyed those shows.
Very cool Steve - love these deep dives on some of the “less” famous Hollywood Stars 👌PS…sooo happy to see you hit 60 K🙌
Thank you so much RB! 😊👍
