I heard about Mike and his Remains being disturbed. Glad to know you were aware of this and vlogged it. It was well done, we learned more about his life, thanks Jordan!
This took me three hours to find, no joke.. i just dont want to be the guy complaining in a video generally, but it was very difficult to find. I would have shown the gate i drive in, but it wasnt safe with all the traffic
Great Vlog. I lived in Forest Park for 32 years and still live close by. I still remember when all of that happened about Mike's remains. If Interested, about 2 or 3 blocks southeast of exactly where you were, Clara Pellet of where's the beef fame is buried. A lot of people think Mike Todd's remains were moved to a secret location, but I always heard that wasn't true. It truly wouldn't make sense to move part of a seat belt from the plane and some bone fragments to another location. I still remember in the mid 80's when Liz came out to visit his gravesite and the cops had Roosevelt Rd and Desplaines Ave all blocked off.
Thanks Jordan. I knew about Mike Todd, Elizabeth Taylor, Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher background, but certainly not all the movie info. Also, the thing about his remains being moved. That's morbid and yes, I think that guy moved them for the publicity. So sad.
This was such an interesting memorial biography, his early years were every bit as spectacular as his public career. He was truly a larger than life character. He never seemed to fear risks, he just set his sights on something then went for it. Not many people could have pulled off such a famous cast list, or indeed so many international locations without a studio behind them. I remember the excellent interview you did with Todd Fisher who explained the various types of cameras (including Todd AO). Great episode Jordan, many thanks for all your brilliant work.
Didn't know he was buried in Forest Park. Also didn't know that Todd Fischer owns Todd AO - full circle! Always learn something new from this channel, thanks Jordan for the post.
When Mike Todd passed Elizabeth owned Todd AO… which she stipulated in her contract for Cleopatra to be filmed in Todd AO which at the time she owned..which Fox had to pay her for use of it in addition to her $1 million dollar contract.
Todd Fisher DOES NOT Own TODD-AO and never has, the original TODD-AO doesn't even exist any longer. "Sounddogs" acquired the Todd-Soundelux Trademarks (Todd AO and Soundelux) and Copyrights. The studios of TODD-AO and their scoring stages were all closed by 2007.
Eddie Fisher, in his autobiography "Been There, Done That", states that Mike Todd's body was completely destroyed in the plane crash and there was nothing but a bone fragment left to bury.
You did amazingly great in putting this Mike Todd remembrance together. The pictures of him and Liz Taylor were also well done. Didn’t know much about him til your video explained it all. Thank you Jordan. ❤🙏
Thank you, Jordan, for yet another excellent vlog! You are so good at narrating all those stories you bring to us. I'm looking forward to more vlogs im the near future.😊
Hi Jordan and The Beautiful Miss Katie :) *Through watching your vlogs I found Cat & Todd and am really enjoying their TH-cam channel too. Mike Todd - wow, what a life he lived! I've heard the stories about Mike Todd on Cat & Todd but didn't know much about Mike Todd until watching your vlog. You always do a fantastic job making your vlogs = they are like a mini documentary.
Was that engagement ring the one he gave to Evelyn Keyes then took it from her to get it resized and the next time she saw it, it was on Liz Taylor's finger? He was a real piece of work.
I loved today's episode. You make all of your vlogs come alive. You are very respectable to each story. Thank you, Jordan. I live my life precariously through you. LOL! It must be because you are from the same county, as I, Miami County, OH! Safe travels, enjoy your vlogs. Keep them coming. It appears you DO STOP AND SMELL the roses while you are out and about!
Enjoy so much all these wonderful memory stories that you do Jordan. I’ve been watching you for quite a while now. Your great at what you do, plus it seems to me that your acquiring a rather big & well known name for yourself of which I’m so pleased to hear. Confession, sometimes I tune in mainly to get an update on your adorable partner, Jahs (spell.?). The two of you make a perfect pair, and I love how attentive & the way you care for him as it’s certainly obvious by the way he adores you❣️ Totally LOVED your story about Mike & Elizabeth ( I know she hated to be called Liz, so I heard. However I don’t mind telling anytime I hear anything about the two of them I seriously do get melancholy. Anyway, once again, you are the best❣️❣️❣️🌎💔 Roch.N.Y. 🇺🇸
I had no idea Mike Todd was buried in illinois, which is next to Indiana where I am originally from. Anyway, its such a shame he died when he did. I dont think him and Liz had been married long and were crazy about each other. What was cool is that Liz did get to see Mike again during a near death experience she had when she was ill and had to be revived. She recounted that during her NDE Mike told her that it was not her time and that she had to go back because she had more work to do. So that was probably a great comfort and a gift for her get to get to see Mike again.
We had a friend who fell in love with a woman he had never dated , like This Mike Todd did to Liz Taylor the guy we knew had made all the plans for their future. He started planning the gift he gave her at work for Valentines Day two months ahead of time , I asked him if he should nt ask her out for lunch or at least coffee before he started making plans for their future. He spent a long time choosing the gift & tickets to an event. I found out later it didn’t go well for him. So she had a boyfriend and thanked our friend for the gift that she kept on her desk & took her boyfriend to the event. I felt bad our friend was so heartbroken but hearing more of these old Hollywood love stories I guess men do sometimes meet a woman & make plans for the future without speaking to the woman first 😂😂
Wicker Park is a neighborhood in Chicago on the near north side. For the longest time, I believed Mike Todd was buried in a cemetery in the traditionally heavily Jewish Chicago suburb of Skokie.
I grew up just a few miles from Waldheim, passed it too many times to count, and I recall the incident of Todd's remains being stolen. Seems to me that his remains fit into some kind of a rubberized bag. Plane crashes can be very destructive of human flesh. I thought someone tried to ransom Todd's remains but evidently not since that was not included in this video.
Wonder if he and Elizabeth would have stayed together for life if he hadn't been killed. She said he was the love of her life but she also said that about Richard Burton too and both of their marriages failed

Jordan, it always amazes me how you find all these famous people buried in obscure places,.we love these detailed biographies.
This took me three hours to find, no joke.. i just dont want to be the guy complaining in a video generally, but it was very difficult to find. I would have shown the gate i drive in, but it wasnt safe with all the traffic
He looked like a Sicilian gangster. ( in a good way,lol ) Thanks for the movie tip. What a crazy life people had back then. Poor Debbie Reynolds tho.

Wow I grew up near there and never knew Mike Todd was buried there or from the area. Love this channel. Be safe there please
Elizabeth Taylor looked so young. Amazing story about Mike Todd

Another awesome vlog Jordan. Thank You!! 🎊🎉
Nice resting place for Mike Todd. He was a good movie director. And he loved Elizabeth Taylor. Good Vlog jordan
Thank you for this. I really never knew much about him other than Liz was totally devastated when he died.
Eddie Fisher, in his autobiography "Been There, Done That", states that Mike Todd's body was completely destroyed in the plane crash and there was nothing but a bone fragment left to bury.
Jordan you did a Phenomenal Job on this video!! 🌺

I've been watching your video's for some time and you never fail to amaze at the quality. You had me at Shelley Winters.
Was that engagement ring the one he gave to Evelyn Keyes then took it from her to get it resized and the next time she saw it, it was on Liz Taylor's finger? He was a real piece of work.

Nice ! Thank you.
This is another one I didn't know much about. Thank you for telling Mike's story. Rest in peace Mike. Take care Jordan.

Elizabeth taylor tells of how she had a near death experience and saw mike todd in heaven.
And he shoved her back to the living saying she had much more to do. Whoa.
Quite fascinating! Thank you Jordan 🎉
thanks Jordan that was great i always like E T loved all her movies
great Vlog Jordon !!!!
Interesting story, great job Jordan!
Awesome vlog, one of yur best!!
He was a very incredibke person
Another wonderful vlog, thank you Jordan.
I read a lot about Mike Todd and Elizabeth Taylor. He died to soon. ❤ thanks Jordan.
I had no idea what a go getter this man was! Wow!
Great video....thankyou!
Thank you Jordan. A lot of new information. I was never a Liz Taylor fan, though l did like some of her films.
Thanks Jordan
And of course he was how Todd Fisher got his name since Mike was Eddie's best friend.
Thank you!
Interesting and strange story.
Jordan,Wicker Park is a neighborhood in Chicago. I came from Portage Park a neighborhood in Chicago. I don’t expect you to know.
Their daughter Liza Todd looks exactly like her father.
Exactly! Its uncamny
Good job Jordan
We had a friend who fell in love with a woman he had never dated , like This Mike Todd did to Liz Taylor the guy we knew had made all the plans for their future.

While you're in the area.. You should visit Bernie Macs grave
Great idea! I would love to see his grave!! ❤
I read that Mike Todd's Remains are in a secret location now
I grew up just a few miles from Waldheim, passed it too many times to count, and I recall the incident of Todd's remains being stolen. Seems to me that his remains fit into some kind of a rubberized bag. Plane crashes can be very destructive of human flesh. I thought someone tried to ransom Todd's remains but evidently not since that was not included in this video.
I truly wonder what life would have been like if he didnt die
Wonder if he and Elizabeth would have stayed together for life if he hadn't been killed. She said he was the love of her life but she also said that about Richard Burton too and both of their marriages failed
Liza, his daughter with Liz, looks just like her daddy.
I miss them both❤
That must have really upset her!
Word has it that whenever Liz was in Chicago, she would visit his grave.
What a life!
Which year you first dad was passed away in
HEY JORDAN..... FROM TACOMA...
Hope you stopped at Gloria Swansons house on Kenmore.
Good morning beautiful I love you too I love 😘
💜
You can tell you have contact lenses in the way your eyes blonk
Blink not blonk
Sorry, wrong
I clicked because I saw Liz's picture in there, figured he's her ex-husband.
Glad I'm not famous. They won't dig me up.
I wish I knew when you were here in Illinois would love to meet you and your lady, you guys are so educated and nice ❤
Sacrificed no doubt thanks to Liz
