OK, my husband thinks it's creepy, but I adore this channel. If anyone wants a crash course on Hollywood and historic figures from literature, politics,etc. this is the place.
I think this channel is an even better way to remember those who have passed and show them respect and honor their memories.
I know some of these actors / voice actors I just didn't know when some of them had already passed away. They have created such great story's with their acting , Voice acting etc. I LOVE this channel and the history of each and every person , Its so interesting! ♥
It's not creepy. As long as we remember these people & our own loved ones, they're not really gone
I don't think its creepy? Its like history! More than likely you knew the person passed on. I find it very interesting to learn a little about him, where his or hers final
resting place is and how the person p[assed! Very interesting. Lots of them passed on not so old. The thing is. I know every person that is buried in this cemetery,
is not there! There body is but not the person. They left that body the instant they passed on to their "new" life in Paradise. like " *Jesus* " said to Mary when she went to
Our Lords burial spot. " _Why do you look for the Living among the Dead?_ *Jesus is not here* ..✝✝💒⛪ 🎄🎅🏿❤
My husband the same but I just love to watch it
Many won’t understand us but we have our little community here😃
Arthur deserves accolades for the dignity he pays to the stars of yesterday👏well done
Alistair Sim played by far the best version of Scrooge I've ever seen. He was absolutely incredible in the roll. So believable. Wonderful actor.
I was hoping to see Eartha Kitt. Santa Baby is one of my favorites. She also passed on Christmas Day in 2008.
She died in Weston CT. Said ashes were interred in a birdbath at a private residence
@@samanthab1923 say Died Christmas Eve and Christmas Days
She lived in Pound Ridge NY too..
Thanks..I did not know that, she was great!
To all my fellow "Hollywood Graveyard" fans... Merry Christmas to you and your families. 🌨️☃️⛄❄️🎄
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Same to you as well! :)
And have a happy new year to both of ya' =)
Where's the next video????
God bless you Ronald...
The best Scrooge in my opinion was Allister Sim or Sims. This video was enjoyable and very informative.
Mine’s Patrick Stewart.
Think it all depends which generation /age you were when you first watched it, as that’s when it leaves the biggest impression on you.
Mine was Alistair Simms too...but I can’t fault the other two brilliant actors, who brought their own spin or interpretation to the story ...they were ALL excellent, but it wasn’t as scary the 2nd and 3rd time ,plus I knew what was going to happen, so as I said, the first time you see a fabulous film like that, it pins you to your seat, and your eyes riveted to the screen, and you NEVER forget where you saw it, how old you were etc etc..
It stays in your head. 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐❤️
@@helencheadle5285 I think Alister Sims was fine. I guess I don’t like the way it ended. What with all the toys and stuff. And the job for his nephew, etc. I actually like all of the actors, but I like the MOVIE that stays the closest to the book. But I watch all of them, every Christmas, even the made for TV ones. I love them all, Disney ones, Ebby ones, any one I can find lol. its starting to be a tradition at our house. But Patrick is my fav.
@@helencheadle5285 I so agree. I tend to prefer most movies or songs the first time I saw or heard them. When I lived in Illinois, this version was always shown on Christmas Eve. Things changed when I moved to Texas. And we canceled cable about 15 years ago for financial reasons. I know I bought the Alisters Sims version but my world has been turned upside down for over a decade and I need to find it. They do show it on TH-cam. I actually like the Susan Lucci twist on the story where she plays Ebbie Scrooge. We're changing Christmas this year so that the only presents will be what Santa brings my grandsons who live with us. What we would have spent will go to our Disney fund. That should free up time for watching more Christmas movies. Thank you for commenting. I really enjoyed reading it.
I loved Alistair Sims version as well as Reginald Owen's version. How many knew Reginald Owen played Admiral Boom in the 1964 "Mary Poppins" ?
A new Hollywood Graveyard video=best Christmas present ever!
Yes.happy holidays to you and your family and please keep the great vids coming
He is THE BEST.😀
just celi
ABSOLUTELY!!
Burl Ives is my all-time favourite. Merry Christmas everyone.
On Rudolph.STILL my favorite.Late Merry Christmas to you too.
Burl is great! I finally heard his Christmas album in 2015. Since then it's been required listening during the holiday season.
Alister Simms was the best version by far, I think that was made in the early 50's A christmas Carol. Great vid btw, thanx and merry christmas to you.
Alastair Sim and it was released in 1951. It's my favorite version as well.
Agree completely!
I agree. It actually explains Scrooge's animosity towards his nephew. George C. Scott's portrayal is also very good.
I’m watching it now, it was made in 1951. My favorite!
My favorite I agree
I would put flowers all over Capra's grave; he gave us so much!
Merry Christmas Arthur and thanks
Parviz Dzhalolov One Arthur to another
Nat King Cole's version of the Christmas Song has always been a holiday favorite of my family along with The Temptations version of Silent Night.
In 1959 I got my first little record player for Christmas. Also a bunch of single records you covered here. My late brother and I had a lot of hours of fun playing them. Thanks for giving me a great memory of my dear brother.
Surprised you didn't cover Nat King Cole, since his rendition of The Christmas Song was one of his biggest hits.
@@mattwaldman3346 My mom and dad were poor and I only got about 3 little records. I felt like I was on cloud nine. I was grateful for what I got period.
My sister and were justing about that little record player. Had to share it with 3 sisters, lol. We thought technology had peaked, lol
Merry Christmas to all at Hollywood Graveyard from Bonnie Scotland
Elvis-Blue Christmas is my favorite xmas song
Beautiful Maureen O'Hara starred in another Christmas classic, 1995's The Christmas Box. I can't believe you left out my favorite Christmas movie, The Bishop's Wife. Loretta Young, Cary Grant, David Niven, the Mitchell Boys Choir and more. Filled with love, humor, faith, nostalgia.
Just love the way you take a theme then make it irresistible. You entertain us and educate us so wonderfully at the same time. I remember seeing "White Christmas" with my grandmother. I adored the amazing colours, the wonderful songs and got caught up in the romance.of it all. Whenever I hear Bing Crosby sing, I can picture my gran and me walking hand in hand to the cinema. I loved her dearly, and it's a beautiful reminder of our wonderfully close relationship.
as a kid in the 70s, john denver was a big part of my christmas memories. Thanks for another great video!
🎄🎄Merry Christmas!!!🎄🎄
All the best from Australia
I could watch It's a wonderful life any day of the year, it's one of my favorite movies of all time
I have NEVER seen holiday trees and decorations in graves before in my life!! This has been very enlightening for me! Love all of your videos and thank you!🎄🎄👍👍
Hollywood Graveyard is one of the very best presentations on TH-cam ! Thank you for all the hard work you have done to make this happen. Happy Holidays.
Love this Christmas edition!! Thanks
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Donna Reed still makes my heart pitter-patter. 😎
Denver Pyle (Uncle Jesse on Dukes of Hazzard) passed away on December 25, 1997. Of course he was in a Dickens of a Christmas" a 1983 Dukes of Hazzard episode. His final resting place is in Forreston, Texas.
Jimmy Stewart also passed that year.
@@servinguptheclassics2053 Yes and he's a big Christmas character as well.
Hey Rhetty! Nice to see you here. Merry Christmas!!!
Dean Martin, Teena Marie, James Brown all passed Christmas Day
@@lonesomedovecall822 Good to see you as well!
You are the best speaker of all the famous grave tour walkers , cheers from The Netherlands
❤️🎄Merry Christmas and blessings🎄💚
@ 14:00 that record by Gene Autry was a gift from a great aunt. She gave it to me on vinyl and it sounds so much better than on cd or cassette. I listen to Gene's holiday music on every holiday. Stars today don't put their heart and soul into music like they did back in the Golden Age. I think I was born 6 decades too late. Lol
Wishing you and all your loved ones light and love now and in the coming new decade! Thank you so very much for all your hard work and masterpieces you bless us all with! We too love and visit cemeteries! We too truly love our work! Blessings upon you and all you do always! Air hugs from Texas!
Best Christmas present ever! Thank you Arthur, you are the best!
Always click immediately when you upload! 😃🎄🎅🏻⛄️🤶🏻
One of my favorite holiday stories is "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry (real name William Sidney Porter). His final resting place is at Riverside Cemetery in Asheville, NC. It's a pretty, historic cemetery that I've visited several times. Writer Thomas Wolfe is also buried in that cemetery.
What a great Christmas 🎁
Merry Christmas to you Arthur and Giuseppe too. Sending my love
I grew up just a few houses away from Robert May in Skokie, Il just north of Chicago. He had a big Rudolph on the front lawn.
I'm watching this in May 2020! Please keep the Famous Grave Tours coming!
Happy Christmas from New Zealand.
Otis redding. His white Christmas is perfect. His voice is so God dam amazing. Definitely one of the best.
Does anyone else notice that the Rankin-Bass stop motion puppets look like their voice actors for the most part..
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays 🎅🤶🎄🎁
They made them to resemble the voice actors
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Dark Arthur.⛄❄🎄🎁
Merry Christmas Arthur, thank you for this lovely stroll down Christmas Memory Lane!.....Merry Christmas!
Well done as always Mr. Dark👏🏻
RIP Lee Mendelson - producer of A Charlie Brown Christmas and lyricist for "Christmas Time is Here" March 24, 1933 - December 25, 2019
Let's not forget Vince Guaraldi as well...
RIP the Grinch.
And Bill Meléndez, who directed and and helped animate nearly all of the early Peanuts specials, as well as giving voice to Snoopy and Woodstock.
@@markglenn1712 I love Vince Guaraldi’s music too. He died way too young at 48 in 1976. But his piano playing is timeless! :)
Loved this! I have watched the Grinch every year for 55 years now. And, in the 90s, I worked with Thurl Ravenscroft who sang the theme song. He was such a dear man.
Who ever thought hearing about funerals is entertaining to listen to
You have never walked through a cemetary and wondered what a person was like or what kind of life they had? I started a long time ago because of going to graveyards as a kid with my great grandparents to put flowers on family graves. My sister and I will drive through cemateries we pass if a gravestone catches our eye. It is how we found the grave of Daniel Boone in Frankfort, KY.
Not the funerals...the people
Hollywood boneyard....nothing better.....a nice cup of tea and a biscuit.....sit back and enjoy😁...greetings from the uk🤗
U, sir, are doing a great job on these. Merry Christmas, everyone.
Thank you, Arthur. So beautiful. Merry Christmas 🇬🇧🎄
Surprised you didn't cover Nat King Cole, since his rendition of The Christmas Song was one of his biggest hits.
Yea, don't forget the King.
Starfox2009100 I think Nat King Cole would make a good feature follow-up to this video. There are so many other contemporary and modern recording artists such as George Michael (fittingly mentioned in the comments) as well as Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and even John Lennon that have all added their own unique spin on what Christmas is supposed to be and why it’s so popular across the world.
@@timbuege2624 plz dont forget Bing.
Nat King Coles grave isn't for public access. Neither is his daughter Natalie. Only family and those with family permission can go see where they are laid to rest. They used to be public til someone damaged Nat King Cole gravestone .
@@memorialled_zeppelin-warew1346 that's awful someone would be so heartless and not respect people's graves .
A superb production. Your videos are my favorites.
Absolutely beautiful job and really brings Christmas home and the reality of the music behind it. Thank you so much for your great work that your team and you do.
I'm surprised that the USA didn't make Irving Berlin a special mausoleum due to his patriotic songs. He was pure talent. Amazing how so many stars die young and just as many die very old. I guess genetics play a huge role in our longevity.
My absolute favorite movie version of A Christmas Carol starred Reginald Owen and the Lockhart family., made in 1938. I also love the TV version starring Mr. Magoo (voiced by Jim Backus).
The Lockharts were wonderful in their Christmas Carol movie but I think the best Scrooge movie stars the very interesting Scottish actor, Allistair Sims. He just IS Ebenezer.
And, at my number 2, I totally agree with you is Mr. Magoo's version, with the voice of Jim Backus. The emotions and the themes are all there and the music score is absolutely fantastic. The ballad performed by Ebenezer's lost love is hauntingly beautiful and never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Unfortunately, many of the recordings of this classic are out of order and/or missing scenes. They are still worth watching.
And, I so miss the variety shows that always had a Christmas themed show or special, many of their stars mentioned in this video - Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Bing Crosby, Andy Williams, Perry Como, Nat King Cole.
@@marthawelch4289 Yes, she sang Winter Was Warm. Lots of good music. As a child I was very touched by I'm all Alone in the World.
I used to run like hell when my parents would watch the old one ( a Christmas Carole
@@Fran-tl6bx Run TO it or AWAY from it?
Absolutely wonderful.
got to meet Dudlley Moore one day just walking down the street in the early 90's. I was on a school trip to Kansas City and we were walking downtown when we walked by us
He was a lovely guy. A young me got to meet Moore during his stint back home in the UK at Her Majesty's Theatre , my uncle used to build the sets when he was alive (passed away at 78 in 2016) . Moore was talking to some people backstage when I met my uncle with my mother went to see her brother for a lunch appointment. Moore was really a lovely man very friendly and so very funny. Miss him so much
Arthur, we can't thank you enough for the work and love you produce and for reminding us that these memorials exist for a reason.
Charles Dickens lived and died in my town and many novels were written here and some of the town is mentioned in his books
My husband was born on Christmas day in 1951, he's my Christmas miracle ❤
Yay! Happy holidays everyone!
i love them all.....its just not christmas without them...thank you
LOVEEEEEEEEEE the video A wonderful Christmas gift, I do not have any children or family here, So this video felt like such a nice gift, Have a Merry Everyone...
Amazing how many wonderful lives go went into the wonderful Christmas we now truly love and cherish simply mind-boggling
Merry Chrismas Arthur and the Team of Hollywood Graveyard and of course everyone who reads this.
A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott is my Favorite!!!
Merry Christmas Arthur and a very Happy New Year to you and your family.

THIS is without a doubt my new holiday tradition, watching this video every Christmas until I am no more...THANK you!
Merry Christmas Arthur!!!..Dean Martin was one of my fav singers and my fav Christmas song Let it snow
You've outdone yourself Arthur! My favorite this time, was Jimmy Durante!
So excited when my notification popped up!!!😊😊 Merry Christmas!!
I had the biggest crush on Maureen O'Hara. What a beauty.
When I was in high school, our teacher, a priest, loved Handel and had our class sing some of his music from the Massiah (sp). He made the comment about Handel that he could squeeze more notes in a song than anybody.
Hollywood graveyard! The best! You guys won’t like me for this but Santa baby is my favorite Christmas song! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
What a wonderful tribute! Loved it!! Bing Crosby is probably my favorite Christmas performer, but there were so many here that I have happy memories of!. Thank you for this blast from the past!
He sung a great version of "The Little Drummer Boy" with David Bowie.
Fantastic. What a gift. Merry Christmas! You covered the Christmas legends -- the major greats. You asked who we would choose as another? Like Dean Martin, who also died on Christmas Day, another singer/ songwriter, George Michael.
And wrote a super popular Christmas tune in the 80's!! George is missed in my house!
What a wonderful present for us fans. Merry Christmas!
Soon as I got the message I tuned in right away !! Love these videos
Andy Williams Christmas specials on TV where great! His song "it"s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year " is a classic!
Almost forgot I had this tucked away on my Watch List! Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and New Year ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
In times like now, this is SWEET MEMORIES!💕🎄🎁🙏🇺🇸
THANK TOU!
Happy Christmas everyone, from Bonnie Scotland..
In the Netherlands we still celebrate 'Sinterklaas' on the 5th of December, i loved it as a kid! Now i get to play Sinterklaas and give my son gifts :)
This is the most precious of them all! ❤❤❤ Merry Christmas Arthur and Gisepe!
What a wonderful Christmas gift. My favorite Scrooge starring Alastair Sim, made in 1951. Thank you so much for sharing. ✨✨
Las Vegas sending greetings to HG and all its fans! (The best Christmas Carol? Mr. Magoo!)

Hi, enjoy your snow!
Lee Coziar Ohio here.. it’s like Florida weather here! 😭 I wanted a white Christmas but I got a sunny one.
Some people wouldn't know this history without you thank you
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Coventry, England. Arthur, releasing this video tonight has made me full of seasonal joy in memory of such well-loved performers. I think you are unique for the unusual reason that you seem to be the only American in the media that can pronounce tricky English place names. Witness a faultless rendition of Shrewsbury and Westminster. I bet you can manage Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Cirencester too!
