    A great selection. Pure class (again!).
    In 1956, my mum was training to be a telephonist at Slough and Great Missenden in the UK.
    She was waiting at a bus stop and the traffic lights changed to red.
    An American army staff car stopped right in front of her - she could hear giggling coming from within.
    Through the side rear window she saw Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller on the way to Pinewood Studios, for the filming of "The Prince and the Showgirl."
    The lights changed and the car pulled away...
    On the same training course she had a run-in with Dirk Bogarde.
    That's another story!

      That wasn't the exact terminology used at the time!

    The most famous grave I ever visited was the final resting place of Eva "Evita" Perón at Recoleta cemetary in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I was there on a trip from Argentina to Antarctica and back just as covid was starting to grip the world in February 2020. I'm glad I took the time to go, the cemetary itself is a masterpiece of mausoleums, dating back nearly 300 years.

      Evita's body traveled all over the world after her lavish 1952 state funeral. Plans were made for a Statue of Liberty-sized statue and memorial for Senora Peron, in Buenos Aires, as the lastwords of the Broadway musical state. Politically unrest, in 1955, sent both Perons into exile. Evita rested for a long time in an Italian cemetery, under an assumed name. In 1973 she was then sent, and laid-out in a posh apartment house in Madrid, Spain. (Ava Gardiner lived on the floor below.) Juan Peron, and then wife Isabel, later Argentina's president, actually combed the hair and adjusted the clothing of the mummified, former First Lady. Peron returned to Argentina and the presidency in 1973, where Evita was later entombed at Recoletta.

    For a young guy, that's a fair list of celebrities. You won me over by your inclusion and research of George Burns and Gracie Allen. Your honorable mentions were also strong. I grew up watching many of these people and they still seem so familiar. In 1963 my mother and I stumbled onto the Academy Awards in Santa Monica. Society was different then and so was security. We just walked right up to the red carpet and watched Gregory Peck, John Wayne, Sophia Loren and Peter O'Toole walk by us about twenty feet away. Cheers.

From the corner of my eye I saw a huge gravestone with a guitar on it, so I had to stop and see who was buried there...Bo Diddley. A gravesite worthy of the "Pharoah of a Man" that he was.

    The most interesting thing about Poe’s writings is much of his work was written in Richmond, Virginia; where he spent most of his childhood and many years after that.
    The city embodies the spirit of Poe as it is a place marred by tragedy; it scars the soil and the land. Whether it be the tragic theater fire of 1811, which claimed 72 lives, or the horrors of war on its doorsteps, the city has lived and breathed tragedy; where the heart scarred by sorrow is drawn towards like a moth to a flame.

      If you google " Al Jolson's Funeral" you will see thousands of people outside the Jewish Temple on Hollywood Blvd., which had to be blocked - off. One of L A.'s biggest funerals comparable to Rudolf Valentino's, in 1926. Younger people don't understand what a HUGE star Jolson was, and the thousands of miles he logged entertaining the troops in WW2 and Korea. His death may have been attributed to complications from tropical infections he was exposed to in the South Pacific.

    This is a really lovely compilation, Arthur. Not only was it fun to see some behind the scenes footage, I also appreciated getting a glimpse into what's meaningful to you and helped to shape you into the person you are today. I'm especially delighted that you included Rod Serling in your top 10, He's been a huge influence on my life and I continue to mourn the fact that he died so very young. I've only seen a couple famous graves in my lifetime, but one was really important to me because it was another writer who has meant so very much to me: William Shakespeare. It's an experience I'll never forget.

    My favorite grave has always been Robert Kennedy. I was at Arlington going by President Kennedy grave and saw a lone cross and went to look at it. I had forgot they buried Bobby there next to his brother. Summer of 68 sucked badly. The only good thing about 1968 was the Christmas Apollo 8 circling the Moon. Thank you John. And Bobby.

    Poe is an excellent and incredibly apt choice for your #1. I think his grave is also the only one on your list here that I’ve personally visited. I fell in love with his work when I was introduced to it in middle school by a teacher who absolutely loved Poe and was incredibly passionate about sharing that love with his students. Mr. Levi went all out with props, spooky candlelight, and wonderfully dramatic readings of Poe’s work. It was pretty awesome. I hope he realizes how impactful those classes were to his students.

    I'm glad you left Poe's grave for the last one.
    I was getting my itinerary ready so I could meet up with
    a couple of sorority sisters.
    That didn't happen cuz COVID-19 brought to a screeching halt.
    It ruined our little girl time/ reunion.
    The sad part now one of the sisters passed away from contracting COVID.
    So the other sister & I still to make that trip happen sometime with in the year 2023.
    Anyway I really appreciate your videos.
    You have smooth, gentle & very unique voice.
    To me it's the perfect graveyard voice. Not to ominous but still a little on the macabre side.
    So many others are horrible. They bore me to tears.
    With these monotone voices.
    I'm from south Central Oklahoma. I'm about 11 miles from the Oklahoma & Texas state line. The Big Red River separates us.
    I'm true southerner all the way down to my toes.
    I was blessed to move around with my job as a young teacher.
    My 1st teaching job was at a private Catholic school in. Memphis, Tennessee
    Memphis was amazing with one of a kind juke joints & a few hole in the wall jazz clubs.
    I was young & and hungry for my new life to start.
    I was seriously naive & ignorant of the danger lurking in the shadows all around me.
    I had no fear & wasn't scared of anything.
    I was ready to do part by righting all the wrongs done to the underdogs.
    Being fres outta college and had no idea how the real world worked but I can say I wouldn't change my life it for the world.
    I love & taught history.
    I also love to travel so that's why I took the opportunities to move deeper into rural southern states like Arkansas, Mississippi , Louisiana & Alabama.
    I have a couple thoughts on doing a new video ab the deep south grave yards.. I've always been intrigued by Hank Williams & death.
    He was a lot like Paula very tormented soul. Alcohol, pain pills & woman led to his downfall.
    Martin Luther King's assassination is still mysterious.
    It's crazy how he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine motel & James Earl Ray knew exactly what he was going to step out on that balcony & killed him.
    During my 2 year stay in Memphis I became obsessed with him & the fight which in sued the city of Memphis over they wanting demolish little rain motel & build a new museum. The city ended up
    With 80 to 100 people on the daily got (me included).
    We had tents & sleeping as we made circle all the way around the Lorraine motel. No one was gonna destroy it without a fight, legally verbally and spiritually
    We drew a lot of of attention.
    Local TV news stations & newspaper. It was my only time to ever do a sit in. We stayed strong & the city finally backed down & the motel which is a huge part of our American history.. Today it's super cool
    civil rights museum.
    Anyway I guess that's all I need to say there's a couple of other Graves that I'm curious about and I'll just save that for another time God bless keep up the good work

    Thanks for this, I'm from the highlands of Scotland, living on a Greek island, watching your excellent video. This reminds me of something that my late father said to me.

    Favorite famous grave(s), those of the Wright Family at Woodland Cemetery, Dayton, Ohio - born and raised here, family history in aviation, I cry each time I visit knowing what those 2 brothers gave us all. There are a lot of famous Daytonians buried there and my 2nd favorite is Paul Lawrence Dunbar, his resting place is not far from the brothers that were his friends. This channel brings me peace and joy with each new video. Thank you A. Dark for all you do.

    Lee Marvin. He has always been my favorite actor; Paint Your Wagon and Cat Ballou still sit on my movie shelf. Visited his grave in Arlington Cemetery when I found out he was there. As a former licensed DC tour guide, I visited Arlington on nearly a daily basis with groups. Discovering Lee there, I always made sure to take that path to the Tomb of the Unknown with my groups.
