Thank you for enlightening everyone about Al Jolson's efforts to recognize the African American community in his life. Many productions only show him in blackface and turn that into something that was not his intention. I never knew what he did to voice the plight of the black community and his aspirations for change and acceptance that all of us are children of God and equal in His sight.
Loved Leonard Nimoy, I met him a few years back, such a lovely man.
I had the absolute delight of meeting Suzanne Pleshette many years ago in Pittsburgh. We literally walked into each other accidentally. After profuse apologies, we actually chatted for 30 minutes. She was fabulous - friendly, positive, honest to a fault, asked me about my life and career, and also asked me about local real estate prices; apparently she was looking to buy property here. When I told her how much I loved her work in The Birds and The Bob Newhart Show, she smiled with the most radiant beauty - I have never in my life been more impressed by someone as famous as her. And that baritone voice of hers was ohhhhh so sexy. RIP dear one.
What a really lovely story 💕
Suzanne Pleshette is one of the VERY few celebrities I have never heard anything bad about. Usually how fun, bawdy, and warm she was.
I've been here years ago. My boss passed away and burried here. He was a Cardiologist MD( Jewish). I remember this place especially the fountain. I miss him...he was an amazing and kind boss I've worked with...😔😔😔
Thank you so much for the lesson about Al Jolson. I'm Black and always thought he was racist because we were offended by his Black Face acts. You've enlightened me and now I want to know so much more about him. I paused your video right after his grave just to tell you this. I love your tours! Now continuing the video...
It's always important not to transfer our own modern ideas onto the past.
@@biteme9486 It's always important to remember our past mistakes and learn from them or we remain ignorant and are doomed to repeat them.
@@lilivonshtup3808 History doesn't repeat itself, it rhymes. And while there's nothing wrong with saying blackface is wrong (because it is), you can't let that affect your judgement of people who lived in a different time
@@biteme9486 it repeats. You’d need to actually spend your life studying it to get it.
If you had been taught history properly you would have never thought that.
Never realized it was Al Jolson’s monument I see when I drive on the 405
if he could see the future.....his ACT DIED LONG ago
It speaks volumes to how important Nimoy was to the Star Trek series that, when they were first starting production on the 2009 film, they straight up told him they couldn’t do it without him. Nimoy was one of the most genuine in Hollywood and we’re lesser without him.
I had the great pleasure of meeting him in circa 2012-13 at a comic-con in Dallas. Not surprised at all that his grave was so very modest. He was also an amazing photographer.
I was glad I got to meet him in Atlanta and he signed several of the books he wrote-and photographed-for me at no charge. I also got to see him in "Fiddler on the Roof" and in the play "Vincent".
It speaks volumes and how created Jewish people really are
Leonard aged so well, he had a quiet way of growing on you. He was like a caring uncle in the family who would always have your back. He could play ruthless too, though. Invasion of the body snatchers, and a murdering surgeon in an episode of Peter Faulk's Columbo
From’ what I’ve learned he was a humble considerate man of standing . God bless you Leonard Nimoy .
Leonard Nimoy also provided voices in Transformers Twice: Transformers The Movie(1986) as: Galvatron & Transformers: Dark Of The Moon(2011) as: Sentinel Prime. His final film was Star Trek: Into Darkness(2013) as: Spock Prime. Nimoy is also known as: The Great Paris in the 1966 tv series: Mission Impossible. R.I.P. Leonard Simon Nimoy(1931-2015) Live long and Prosper 🖖
Hes last Voicework was Master Xehanorth for Kingdom Heart Video Games
Al Jolson was a wonderful and remarkable human being. THANK you. ❤️
Amazing video. My favorites of the stars in this cemetery were Leonard Nimoy he's my most favorite in Star trek, Micheal Landon from Bonanza, and Aaron Spelling I really love watching all the shows he has directed. May they all rest in peace
I was born in 1969 but grew up listening to and watching Al Jolson, he was my Dad's favourite so his music was all over the house. Even now I still listen to him, was a wonderful singer with one of the most unique voices that I really admire. Thank you another awesome vlog, love them all :)
Lee Anne L :- You’re doing well for 421 years old.
Duh, wish I had seen that a few days ago lol
Leonard Nimoy was definitely my favorite! Of course I am a huge Star Trek fan! When I read the novels I can still hear his voice as Spock! RIP Mr. Nimoy!
the cemetery is real nice rest in peace to all the celebrities that passed away
😢😢😢😢😢
Not only the celebrities but to every Jew who holds a spot there
@@MrJaysVentVideos f
I always said that Jews were (are) the most talented and most intelligent people on earth. Some of my best friends growing up were Jews. Love em.
Beautiful place. So grateful to AD for the video tour. Would love to see IRL.
This is probably my favorite video. Thank you for visiting Leonard Nimoy. He's one of my all-time favorite actors. Live long and prosper Arthur! 👍👍👍👍
When I met Leonard Nimoy, we discussed the Vulcan hand sign. I told him my pastor said the Jewish blessing at the end of the service-and I was Lutheran then. He smiled and asked, " Where do you think he got that from?" I'm Anglican Catholic and the Jewish blessing is also in our 1928 BCP. His book I Am Not Spock is next to his I Am Spock on my bookshelf. Where is Robert Vaughn buried? He too did not get to see his 84th birthday.
I agree
WHY was AI JoIson honored in this video? He was a racist )ewish entertainer from HoIIywood who mainstreamed "bIackface." He was even called the "King of BIackface."
🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻
Yotto O. It wasn’t racist in the 20’s and 30’s. Watch the video again...
This video sets the standard for the genre! I really appreciate the clear narration, the biographical facts, and the media clips that pay tribute and provide context.
Please keep the music down.
Arthur Dark continues to make the (818) proud with his stupendous creations. The splendor of Al Jolson's resting place is exceeded only by Arthur Dark's beautiful narrative. I continue to be impressed with Arthur Dark's extensive research as demonstrated by the wonderful facts he presents. Also, Arthur Dark has the unique ability to present each person with class and brings out the best from each person's career. Perhaps Al Jolson was the "greatest entertainer of his time." I regard Arthur Dark as the greatest creator of these type of videos. I look forward to Part 2. Shalom.
"Live long and prosper.........." 🖖😃 Just enjoy life folks, life is short. God bless to all!! 🤗⚘😃👍
Wow, Mr.Jolson has a fancy monument and waterfall 😯 my mother loved David Janssen and his tv show R.I.P 🌹 Michael Landon
Not the waterfall just the monument which is great......😊
Thank you so much for visiting Michael Landons grave. Throughout quite some time of my life Michael was part of it with his various tv series. Even today I like to switch the telly on when there's re-run of one of his series.
Nice fact: In real life Landon was the same handsome and friendly man he was in his roles. No bad words, no bad behaviour, no scandals. His death is a loss for this world.
"Before you decry him as a racist, let us understand the era and the context."
I wish I could give you a million subs for this one sentence alone.
Shame most ppl today don't look at the whole picture.
Scott Carroll well done
Lowland
Why Gunga Din, you failed to include Jonathan Pollard, Julius and Ethel Rosenburg, David Berkowitz, Bernie Madoff, Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, Michael Miliken and Rabbi Avraham Mordechai, in that happy group of "Jewish brothers and sisters", who suffered such pain and trauma, while participating so much in their undying contribution to humanity and the betterment of our planet.….You nut.
@@sizableone1 Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.
Glad I found your channel! Well spoken and respectful, friendly and informative. A rarity these days. Keep up the great work!
Great video. I grew up directly across the freeway from the Al Jolson monument and watched many funerals from the distance during the 60's and 70's (long before the Howard Hughes Center took up all the nice open space we called the "bean field"). After all these years however, I've never been in that cemetery, so thanks for the visit.
One of my many trips to LA was to visit the cemeteries. It was on of the most moving, interesting and unforgettable times that I had ever spent on the coast. It even beat having meals among many notable actors.
Aside from visiting Marilyn Monroe's crypt and seeing where George Raft was interned, there were dozens and dozens of celebrities throughout the various locations. Many more than I could see in one day.
Years ago a friend of mine told me to do that tour. I thought the idea was crazy. It definitely was not. I plan to do it again. So many memories.
To hear the theme song to lilttle house on the prairie. Took me back. Wow
You honestly do a very great job producing these videos. Thank You for posting.
Thanks for pointing out the role of Al Jolson. And my favourite in this video is Michael Landon. I love Highway To Heaven and Little Farm!
Thank you so much for all you are doing with this account. Your idea is brilliant and you are giving them all a second breath. I was initially worried when I clicked on this video but you lend the people you so tastefully speak of such grace...
I really appreciate your endeavour. Thank you again, so very much for all you're doing.
Suzanne Pleshette was so GORGOUSE. ,SWEET AND Lovely.. It still hurt,s my soul that she gone.
@Luis Valentino You was lucky to have met her. wow Yes was so gorgeous
This was amazing as always! I always learn a lot on someone especially the very first person you showcased. I love Jack Benny and of course Michael Landon and Lorne Greene in Bonanza. And of course Spellings creations were great too. There is a lot in this cemetery looks like.
did Jack Benny have a friend called Rochester?
@14:07 At Nimoy's grave there are lovely rocks with smiles on them, along with the other stones. It's beautiful in a very different sort of way.
My Grandfather recorded many albums with Al Jolson, and Leonard Nimoy (and wife) used to stay at my father's house. So I had to click on this video!
My dad always used to say that the funniest man who ever lived was Jack Benny. There is a story that back in the late 40's he was invited to the White House by the Trumans. When passing through the front door he was stopped by a couple of Secret Service men who said they had to check his violin case for weapons or anything dangerous. When Benny assured them that it only contained a violin one of the security men dead panned "that's what we were afraid of." Benny reportedly laughed so hard he had to sit down.
I record the Jack Benny Program on ME TV, about everyday. That entire cast was what made that show funny. Mel Blanc (the voice of about ALL Looney Tunes Characters) and Benny we're GREAT friends, and he was on there ALL the time. He was friggin hilarious. So was Frank Nelson....it was a great show...a CLEAN...funny show, with CLASS. Something most of today's comedians would know absolutely NOTHING about. The Burns and Allen Show was awesome too. Hubby and wife George Burns and Gracie Allen. Alot of people don't know much about Gracie, because she passed away from a heart attack in 1964...but she was twice as funny as George. She was great!!
I always wondered if Mary on the show was his wife. 👍
Yeah that Jack Benny Sure Was A Very Awesome Funny Guy .
Jack Benny’s radio program’s from the 40’s and 50’s play on XM Radio channel 148 , very funny shows .
Jack Benny had perfect timing; he was a comic genius.
Top shelf. Job well done. Thank you.
Oh so wonderful! I always go and retrace your steps at the cemeteries. Thankyou for voicing precise instructions as to where the graves are located as you go in the videos. It always helps when you're like "directly across the road and right underneath two trees is ______ 's grave." I always bring my Husband along too. Good workout and a peaceful time honoring these wonderful people and more! Thankyou for your awesome channel.
I look at all these fancy graves, and think to myself, "Who says you can't take it with you?"
Believe it. That's why you never see a hearse pulling a u-haul.
Dinah Shore was one of my Mom's favorites. Did the jingle "See the USA in your Chevrolet" in the 50's. Was the Oprah of 70's Daytime Talk. Big supporter of Women's Sports before they were popular. Hosted Dinah Shore Classic Golf Tourney for LPGA. Even dated Burt Reynolds. A great lady.
Steven Roland: Agreed. Burt Reynolds was a fool for not marrying her.
reynolds wouldnt merry her he found out she had black in her....
Steven Roland SHE BECAME A GOOD FRIEND TO ME AFTER HER WEEK OF SHOWS AT RESORTS INTERNATIONAL.COULD NOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THING ABOUT DINAH
+monsteroc If it were true, her having black in her would have been a bonus! No one could live with Burt! He tormented Sally Fields! He only loved himself & his wigs! He was not a nice person! 😒
@@monsteroc7420 she gave a up a child because it was half black, although I seem to recall that it was actually her husband at that time that was half black, not her
I just love this series, a million times better than the other grave tour videos.the music,photography of this series and his knowledge of the celebrities makes this series a winner.love all his videos.
Excellent video as always. You are always professional, and respectful of the deceased. I learned about some entertainers that I did not know were Jewish! Very interesting and informative. Live long, and prosper Mr. Dark!
Thank you for visiting Michael Landon and Lorne Green, two of my favourite actors. Love Bonanza.
This was so interesting! It makes one realize how very short this life is...
Kathleen Loucks - exactly
Or how creative Jewish people are
A 5000 year history of war and death made me realize it. Who would have guessed.
Time never forgets us.
Build that wall already
Thank you for showing the legends and teaching about some I didn’t know. Al Jolson to Michael Landon to Spock- May they all rest peacefully!
I am enjoying your videos even this one with Leonard Nimoy, I like to see more from people how pass away from the Star Trek the original series if you don't mind..again great video.
Great job on this one, Arthur. Really a beautiful cemetery. Who knew you could have a waterfall for your grave site. And learning how Sheldon and Leonard from big bang theory got their names was cool
Jack Benny was great!
Love hearing Leonard Nimoy as the voice of Galvatron in the 1986 The Transformers: The Movie along side Orson Wells as Unicron [which was his last roll before he died]
I would like to simply say, What a wonderfull presentation these series of Grave Yard Tours are to watch. This particular video is one of my favorites. So many good memories!
I'm 43 years old still listening to the great Al Jalson since I was a teenager I hope to visit him one day
Laurel and Hardy, Chaplin, Keaton and (Allan) Sherman too
Very well done! I wasn't aware of many of these celebrities being Jewish. On many trips to and from the Los Angeles area we've passed by this Jewish cemetery. Thank you for posting this in-depth look into some of the individuals interned here.
The best series on TH-cam, thank you. Beautifully done.
Your videos are wonderful! I love it when you release new ones! Very exciting.
I think that's PRETTY COOL that the characters Sheldon and Leonard are named after 'Producer' Sheldon Leonard!!!! Learn something new every day!!!!
You have the best cemetery remembrance videos on TH-cam, I absolutely enthralled with all of your videos thank you very much for all of your hard work!!!
Once again excellent content and done as always with dignity and respect to all those you visit on your tours.
Always enjoyed thank you , cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
You are always informative, well spoken and delightful to hear. Thank you.
The only time I was in California, Al Jolson's fabulous hillside waterfall was pointed out to me. I always wanted to see it up close - thank you.
As a French I want to say that Americans Cemetery are facinating, very calm. Very different from ours, hope you will visit the Paris " Père Lachaise " oneday.
Special thanks to Eddie Cantor I discovered with Boardwalk Empire.
i would enjoy little more than that today. i was sent far east instead
How are French cemeteries less calm than American cemeteries ???
If you watch more recent videos, 2021, Arthur made it to Paris:)
@@kayfse8373 Yes I Saw it 😊 thanks
Nicolas C, as an American, I would love to visit France and see the old cemeteries of legends like Napoleon Bonaparte, Jane Avril, Marcel Proust and of course the great Ettore Bugatti. Legend has it that Bugatti accidentally held back the development of the modern cupholder in cars for a decade because he was offended that people asked him to install them in his cars! This was mentioned in the US magazine Car & Driver.
So many greats are here. I'm reminded of my father, 1918-2006. He said he was 38, a year younger than Jack Benny.
Thank You So Much @HollywoodGraveyard I've been waiting for it all day
Dude you got that calm Ferris Bueller voice going on.... love it
Awesome so glad to see a Jewish cemetery my hubby's half Jewish. Lots of great stars .....thank you
furyfox13 Christmas because only father was Jewish mom was Catholic they let their children decide Wich to follow but we both love the tradition and especially the food
Beautiful cemetery. ...thank you ☺
This is by far my favorite channel!! Amazing work once again!
Really great job! Super interesting and well edited and researched. But between this and the other video on this graveyard you missed a whole bunch of other pretty famous people: Army Archerd, Gene Barry, Shelley Berman, Mike Bloomfield, Bernie Brillstein, Richard Brooks, Cyd Charise, Jerry Goldsmith, Hank Greenberg, Monty Hall, Peggy Lipton, Vic Morrow, Jan Murray, Lois Nye Charlotte Rae, Dick Shawn, Shelley Winters, and Stan Winston. You should do a 3rd. Lone your work. Thanks,
Very much enjoy your Hollywood Graveyard videos. They are done so professionally and respectfully, with lots of interesting information about the lives of the deceased. Good job!
Yes, I agree 👍 Great Job!!
SLAMMED down on that subscribe button. Wonderful channel please keep up the great work!
Came across these the other day, very interesting and inspiring. It is so nice that you have brought these special lives into 21st century. Beautiful
Leonard Nimoy, loved him from the minute I saw him many years ago.
Never a disappointment. 👍💚👌🏻
Excellent tour! It's wonderful how you add film clips and information about each person. I was lucky to have been alive when a lot of these people were still performing on t.v. so I guess I grew up with many of them. Your video is very well done and it reminds me of how lucky I was to have been able to see most of these entertainers in their prime.
Wonderfully informative & entertaining video ! Well done ! Thanks so much for sharing ! I remember driving thru Southern Calif at night way back in the early 70s & seeing that floodlit Al Jolson memorial from the freeway. Quite impressive site ! :-)
Huge Thank You for doing all of this legwork. I used to love to tour cemeteries but not I'm not physically able to do so, so your videos are a God send.
Your work is incredible and done with dignity. I’m surprised to see how many actors did not choose to be buried with their spouses.
Shoot, twitchy fingers! .... all the Jewish cemeteries I have seen are beautiful & strangely peaceful (altho Ive only seen Canadian ones).
You have great production values: concise narration, good images, interesting montages about the person whise grave you show us, & best of all, no indulgence in the editing room.
Thanx for this: highly enjoyable!
Hope part two has Milton Berle your vids are the best for sure. You cover lots of history.
A fantastic video and your voice is always so calming. You articulate well and prieced this video together well. I also thought it was great you addressed “black face” and I think it helped educate some of us, and explain how things (unfortunately) use to be.
Shelly Winters' grave was up by Al Jolsten.
Yes, look for her in part 2.
Wasn't she the one who wept on a talk show over her decades ago abortion? May she rest in peace.
Max Perry father of music producer Richard Perry is buried up near the top of Al Jolson's memorial, It is as impressive as it looks here and more so! It is a beautiful memorial park.
What a beautiful and immaculately maintained cemetery.
I discovered your channel earlier today and I really like your videos, they are so well made! And now just watching this one and you show Eydie Gorme's resting place and I couldn't help tearing up! My grandparents (may they rest in peace) loved her and they actually listened to her spanish albums because we're mexican and that's how we know her. What a pleasant surprise and what great memories you just brought back 💖
I'm 44 and I look back at my life and it's flying by ..I haven't done much ... shit jobs shit relationships and these people have done something with there lives and have been shorter than mine !! We all end up in the same place !!dead ! Better make the most of life !
In a sense we are all playing the role of actor. Be certain that you're life is uniquely important and valuable. Please don't think less of yourself.
Rick Miller I think less of myself too because in a way Andrew is right these famous actors died and they all did something with them selves and they’re all accomplished and well-known I’m 40 years old and I look back on my life and I got nothing to show for it a crappy job and crappy jobs shitty relationships and a matter how hard I tried I could not make something of myself now I understand it’s true life is what you make of it, but I do think there are certain forces at work that we have no control over and with all the hard work I invested into my future nothing
Came into fruition which really discouraged me. All people say “Well get back up and try again I do and get knocked down again and again. The Moral of the story is Never give up........
Ha ha ha ha ha people make me sick
They should only walk in my shoes.
This whole world disgusts me.
hello neighbor. today is 57 for i. come from old family in america. graveyard around family home is full of us. at 18 yrs old one of them was known international in 1877. see home click nail 1794. we are Cherokee.
These people accomplished nothing...they are not jews anyway. (they are Kazahr)...They worked with intelligence agencies for propaganda and to destroy the nuclear family...Under the guise of entertainment, they upjointed civilization...
Andrew - you shouldn’t compare yourself with these people. Compared to Isaac Newton we’re all a bit thick or lazy?! Just be the greatest you can be and more.
Thanks for the Memories watched most of those pictures both in English and South Africa I'm 85 years old still watching those golden Oldies Cheers and Thanks Dave
I have cast my vote for Mt Sinai Memorial Park! Don Rickles has recently been buried there. And plus didn’t Aaron Spelling produce the Joan Collins tv series Dynasty? 🤗
You have a beautiful smile. Gorgous lady
You're right, Spelling did produce 'Dynasty'. He also gave us 'T.J. Hooker', 'Vega$', and a lot of other 1980s series.
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP THEM COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the Hollywood graveyards just keep them coming my uncle was Lawrence Tierney but I don't know if he's buried up there in any of those cemeteries I'd like to see that I think you might have been buried in New York though?
He was cremated, and his ashes were given to a family member or friend.
a very interesting video. thank you for putting so much effort in making it.
BTW that "jewish blessing gesture" is performed during "Birkat Cohanim" when the Cohanim (pl. of Cohen) bless the crowd in the synagogue during prayer. Nimoy himself as far as i know wasn't a cohen. I saw an interview with him where he told the story of how his father covered his eyes during the ceremony (it is believed that the spirit of God descends and enshrines the People of Israel during the act and there for it is forbidden to look at them while they perform it). If indeed he was a cohen his father had to be one too and perform the act himself. It is strange to see the symbol on his grave since it is only engraved on a cohen's tomb. Theodore Bikel's Hebrew writing on his graves shows he indeed was a cohen (his fathers name was Meir Ben Yossef HaCohen).
Maybe he found out that he was a kohen later in life. Also, I notice that Theodore Bikel had the kavod to include on his matzevah what others rarely include on their own: the name of the mother.
Thank you for all your hard work and time it took to make these!! I absolutely love them! I’m full on binging as I type :)
You have a great voice.
Fascinating. I’m a sucker for Hollywood history and these videos are so well done. It would be awesome if you could do Ferncliff Cemetery in NY someday, many notable burials there as well
Yes, Joan Crawford, Malcolm X, Aunt Hagatha from "Bewitched" and formerly Judy Garland who was about twelve feet from my family. Her grave was on floor level and usually always had Roses and a picture on the floor when she played Dorothy. However, I heard the family in 2015, 2016 had her moved to somewhere in California.
The Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY. Frank Morgan, Leonard Bernstein, Joey Gallo and the biggest collection of Civil War Generals. The statuary is astounding. No one could afford to place monuments like them any more. It was designed by william Law Olmstead who also designed Central Park in Manhattan and Freedom Park in Charlotte, NC.It has a website and a big coffee table book of photos.
Aaliyah is buried there
TA A Aaliyah mainly
Thank you sooo much for making these videos. I had forgotten about some of my favorites! I love the facts you state about each actor, it is fun to learn. 😊
I just LOVE your videos! I know they are a lot of hard work so just want you to know how appreciated it all is! Thank you!
Your work is just Immense thank you so much for all your wonderful videos You are a brilliant narrator and your research is 1st class.
Just bought your book. I'll check it out, but the real reason is because I want to support all your hard work making these fantastic videos for all of us 'Death Hags'. Keep up the good work, this site should have many, many more subscribers than it does. Always well done!
Thanks so much, hope you enjoy the book!
I remember Suzanne Pleshette on TV when I was a child from 6 years old onwards. She was pretty and I was infatuated with her. ❤️💕💋
Thank you for setting the record straight about Al Jolson and racism. You hit the nail on the head with how much he supported and defended black entertainers.
You always do a fantastic job, I have visited Forest Lawn Glendale 3 times in the past 20 years and Hollywood Forever once, Hope to at least make it again in the next year or two. Thank you so much
Theodore Bikel was also a member of MENSA.
Driving on the 405 I always look at those pillars. I had no idea that it was Jolson's memorial. It's really beautiful.
Still kind of hard to hear Jolson. He was my granddad's favourite solo entertain (his fav duo was Laurel and Hardy). Lovely video!
I love watching your grave tours I'm from the UK so what ever you put up is fine with me and thankyou very informative videos
Wendy Mudkins Do you know where Sir Christopher Lee was buried ? Would like to know. I knew that Peter Cushing is buried in Whistable with his wife.
Cynthia Thomas - I've heard that Christopher Lee's daughter disliked her father's fan's as she felt they took all his attention so when he died, she kept his funeral arrangements private.
Linda Brown It wouldn't surprise me. Amazing how the children of celebrities resent the fans ,NOT REALIZING that thanks to us,the movies that their parents make become "hits thanks to the fans and the public ".
Cynthia Thomas I think they recognise the economics as well as an actor’s compulsion to act-you can’t fight nature-what they resent is the modern intrusion of obsessive fans who feel their devotion entitles them to invade the lives of those about whom they obsess.
