Seeing the Jimmy Stewart simple grave marker was truly humbling. It further witnesses what a humble, genuine man he was, and that his priorities were far beyond this life. Thanks again guys for putting this together !
There is the grave of a very famous male English film star of the 40s onward, in Highgate Cemetery. He was also a noted Shakespearean actor. He has a sandstone slab laid in the ground. On it is etched two words, his name. No dates, nothing just that. Short of nothing at all, how much more humble can you get than that.
Jimmy Stewart has no mention of his Military service, very simple, very humble. A Great American.
He was a hero.As an English woman,born after the war,I very much appreciate American forces,for their help,and involvement in ridding the World of the aggressors.Jimmy Stewart was based in England,flying bombers,over enemy territory.Without men and women,like him,I dread to think what would have become of the world.
Indiana PA ‘s favorite son -Jimmy Stewart
Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda were good friends. But had different political views. One day, they had a very ugly fight over politics. And they never discussed politics again.
All of these good people are dearly missed we have no replacements for them
They were all one of a kind and are missed! We appreciate the great comment!
Love the humility of Mr. Stewart's grave.
I cried when you said that Ted Knight served so young and was one of the first troops in Berlin. He was very humble about it. I also thought of today's youth and I wonder if they'd be up to the effort...then I remembered our current military. Thanks again for what you're doing.
Thank you very much for watching .... and the tears for Ted.
I think it was when Elvis was drafted it was the last time a Hollywood celebrity went into the service with any note of the event.
Jimmy Stewart had a humble gravesite compared to most other big actors! He was a great actor! "The Man from Laramie" was one of my favorites.
I think the gravesite reflects the humbleness of the man himself. I think it’s a rare thing for someone who had such a successful career in Hollywood to maintain his down to earth qualities. I think Jimmy Stewart was salt of the earth.
Jimmy Stewart was always one of my favorite actors. Came across a Tonight Show appearance after he had retired where Johnny asking what he was doing to keep busy, Jimmy looked at him and said, " well I'm practicing getting to where I talk......... Faster. The place just erupted with laughter and applause! Now think of that in Jimmy Stewart's voice and you'll see why it was so hilarious. The man's timing was as brilliant as ever 😆
I remember the first time I was at this cemetery. I was about 6 or 7 years old. I was terrified because I thought the marble statue of a child was actually a dead child who had been encased in marble. There was a woman sitting on a blanket by a grave, she had a book and a picnic basket and we learned that she was there daily sitting at the grave of her late husband. She would talk to him and sometimes read aloud from a book. Your videos are my favorite. I wish they could be movie length.
A few years ago, I gained appreciation of Joe E. Brown when I caught a series of his early films from the 1930's. Elmer the Great 1933, and Earthworm Tractors 1936 just to name a few. Good fun.
Humble graves make humble memories and humble people make humble stories
Always watched Father Knows Best. Robert Young played the perfect father figure.
I had read somewhere that Young did a wonderful thing for the cast of that show. He made sure that they all received residuals for reruns. He was a good man.
there's a perfect father?! ...jk. lol yes, he's was awesome. 👍
Aimee Semple McPherson's Temple still exists in Downtown LA. She also had a large home in Lake Elsinore, CA., that is (was) being restored. I believe they want to open it to public. I haven't heard much about it lately, but worth checking out. Great episode. Iv always wanted to go to that cemetery, and the Hollywood one, as well.
Beautiful Cemetery with so many celebrities, You can spend all day there.
Indeed! I spent four hours there and didn’t have enough time to find everyone on my list! I am glad that you enjoyed this episode because it took a lot of time and effort.
Some great old Western stars and mid 20th century stars, great tour.
Absolutely love History Hunters just so many famous actor's graves Jimmy Stewart was always my favorite in what ever he did his grave just showed how down to earth he was 💟
J e f f, I enjoyed your episode today and thank you for sharing the wonderful lives of these famous people. I had the privilege of knowing James Stewart, I met him in 1984. He was with his wife Gloria at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn Michigan, and was staring at the plane that he had donated that was a replica of lindberg's plane for which was used in his movie about Lindbergh's life. I gave him a tour in 1992 at the Henry Ford museum with his grandchildren and children. He was a very nice man and I had the privilege of knowing h i m. I hope one of these days I'll be able to go out to the cemetery to visit him and his wife Gloria's grave. Great show thank you for sharing.
Thanks again for a look into the past. You keep the memories alive for us baby boomers.
Thank you very much!
Good stuff buddy. Richard Dix was mentioned in the town hall meeting scene in Blazing Saddles. “Remember when Richard Dix came in here and tried to take over this town?”
I always thought they said Richard Nixon😂😂😘
History Hunters is truly the best thing out there- nothing comes close. Thank you Jeff for not hiding your face; for being real with us and sharing fascinating information about relevant characters.

WOW WOW WOW A POWERHOUSE OF AN EPISODE!! THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US ALONG! =)
Jeff, what a great vlog!! You are a natural narrator and you bring such respect to the memory of those you share. I also appreciate the way you bring clips of so many that I've never seen (or in some cases have never heard of before). Keep up the great work - I never miss a time to watch you. Blessings always.
Mr Jeff, thanks for introducing us the dearly departed, we're unknown in the M, but that's nature and here we meet people we never met, such as the nice 4 year old girl, who left us too soon. Thanks! And keep the conversation going.
Excellent, coherent presentation. Thank you.
Louis Lamour was my Grandpa's favorite all time Western hero. I have two of his books out of the all of the Louis Lamour books that my grandpa had, Great Vlog as always Jeff!
Thank you so much. I didn’t mention the fact that I almost had a chance to meet Louis l’Amour when he was in Central California filming shadow riders with Tom Selleck. I did meet his daughter however at one of the filming locations. His daughter actually appeared with Sam Elliott in a western named Conager.
@@jbenziggy Jeff that is awesome! Thank you for that
Thank you again Jeff and Sarah for this Emotional journey through History..
Thank you
Sarah and I appreciate your kind words and your support! We are glad you joined us on this exploration of the cemetery! Blessings to you and yours! Jeff
Caryll ekelund..tragic story, very sad. The stories of the people are so interesting. Thank you for all the research, photos and video clips. Your hard work made for an enjoyable episode!
Good morning SARAH and happy mother's day, o yea Jeff good video my friend . THANK you Frank from montana.. Jeff all your videos that I have seen are very dam good keep up the great work...
Thank you Frank!!
Very nice Jeff great tribute to a lot of talented people who are no longer with us...
Great video Jeff....my mother was born in 1929 in Laredo Texas she remembers seeing Tom Mix ride his horse in the Washington Day parade...she also saw Gene Autry ride his horse in the parade too.
I love the beautiful scenery and the history of our hero’s who have passed on. You can watch this channel and get lost in the past while forgetting about your troubles for a while.
I'm surprised Jimmy Stewart's grave marker doesn't show any acknowledgement of his impressive war record. He finished his military career as a highly decorated Brigadier General after WW2.
This is some great stuff Jeff. I love old Hollywood and it's great to see that you took the time to do all of this.
Thanks so much!!! I appreciate your encouragement!
With dignity , grace and respect you have produced another wonderful show..
I appreciate your respectful comments! Thanks!
What a fantastic episode, Jeff! What a beautiful soul Ethel Waters was; I thank you for featuring her and telling her life story. 💜 just a stunning episode all around.
She inspires me to this day! What an amazing woman and servant of God!
Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms! Great vlog Jeff and Sarah, thank you for sharing this interesting history...
History is very much alive with you guys telling us a little about it every Sunday! Thank you for sharing the history of all these “not so long ago” famous or not too famous people that made history and memories throughout the years. I find it really interesting and learn something new every episode!
Thank you again and for all the hard work you do to put these videos together to share with us! Take care now and see ya on the next one! Frank from Philadelphia, PA.
We can always count on you, Frank, for a supportive and encouraging comments. We try to cover aspects of people in history and places where historical events occurred in an interesting fashion. We are delighted to know that a fan in Philadelphia what’s our work and we thank you so much for it.
@@jbenziggy absolutely! You do such an awesome job And love the way you make it interesting and lighthearted at the same time. Awesome job!!👍
WOW! very nice. I have to say that James Stewart in "Rear Window" is my favorite.
Once I was able to go into one of the court yards next to the freedom mausoleum, someone had left the door open. It was a treat to walk in there.
Really liked this one. Bringing forgotten people to our minds.
I got to meet Jimmy Stewart in 1984, what awesome person.
Another WONDERFUL History Hunters Episode!
Sunday Is Fast Becoming The BEST Day EVER!!
Wow! That’s really flattering! Thanks very much. I’m glad that our videos are a blessing!
Very enjoyable. My favorite was Louis Lamour. I have all his books and was quite upset when I heard he had died. I reread them all every few years. Thank you.☮️💖🎶
Some very incredible people, thanks again for another wonderful video. Had the pleasure many years ago of Meeting Dr. Graham in Toronto Canada, he was a force approved by God in every way. Loved Ester Waters brief testimony in the video. Happy Mother's Day and have a wonderful week coming!
Thank you Dan 😊
Glad you continued touring Forest Lawn. I had no idea of all the stars of the past that are buried there. I knew there were many but not who. Hats off to your research and professionalism.
Thank you, Jeff! Your cemetery tours are the best; you keep the camera on the grave stone and read what it says which is very much appreciated. I especially enjoyed the Ethel Waters presentation and the Semple Mc Pherson one also. Something was off with her; the Lord knows. Thank you again for your videos; I enjoy them all and God bless you! …..🌝
Simply great Sarah and Jeff! Way to comment Bean McJean! Sunday, History day!
Thank you so much, Nikki! We very much appreciate the compliment!!!
That was four hours well spent by you and we all enjoyed every minute of the half-hour video you put together. Thanks for the documentary.
Thank you very much for acknowledging the effort that it took to do this video, David. I appreciate your expression of appreciation. Blessings to you.
I enjoyed this episode so much. Just makes me feel good. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome! Thank you!
I could spend a day there easily! Thank you for allowing me to revisit those I have heard of from their Hollywood days as well as learn about those I have not. I appreciate understanding all of them. Each life is a story and precious.
James Stewart, the best actor Hollywood ever had & a humble man.
He was a great man!
God bless you for sharing these people's stories with us. Especially Ethel Waters.
She is certainly deserving of being remembered! A great woman with a great story and great attitude! She lives!
I remember seeing Richard Dix in "The Lost Squadron" on TCM...good performance. I loved Jimmy Stewart's performance in Liberty Valance...especially the "steak" scene. The graves of Aimee Temple McPherson and Joe E. Brown are impressive. My favorite Joe E. Brown film is " Some Like It Hot". Thank you for showing all the beautiful statues. I remember seeing Jean Hersholdt in "The Grand Hotel". What a tragic end to Susie Eklund...so young. My favorite Robert Young movie is "The Mortal Storm". I loved all the gaffes that Ted Knight made as Ted Baxter. He was highly entertaining. As a Christian, I enjoyed hearing Ethel Waters' testimony. It goes to show one how Jesus so transforms lives. 😇
Thank you for telling us these wonderful stories of people pass
My favorite SundaySaturday show! Thank you for another great episode. All the time you put into creating these is much appreciated by those of us watching. 🙂
I always like being notified of a new release from you guys. Always informative
Wonderful...thanks for all your hard work.
I’ve been to where Tom Mix died. Another great video! Thanks Jeff!
Beautifully done and very respectful. That's why I love this channel so much. Thanks, Jeff.
Well done, Jeff! I have many, many movies of Jimmy Stewart dating back to the time of "It's A Wonderful Life", one of my very favorite Christmas movies. I just loved the Westerns
he was in as well. I had the honor of meeting his co-star Julia Adams at a book signing in Hollywood about 12 years ago. Early 2010s. I asked her what it was like working
with Jimmy Stewart on the Western "Bend of the River". She noted he was such a gentleman to work with and well respected by all on the movie set. That's my tie in with
actor Jimmy Stewart. One of the last movies I have of him was "Airport '77".
Robert Young, tons of movies in the 1940s onward. TV show, "Father Knows Best" predated "Marcus Welby, MD." Loved those.
Ted Knight also had a role in the 1960 movie, "Psycho". He played a police officer when the police captured Norman Bates and brought him in on suspicion of murder.
In the 1980s, he also did the TV show "Too Close For Comfort". One of my favorite comedians. He was comic gold in "Caddyshack".
27:19, I just bought the TV series "Hart To Hart" today, May 11th, 2024. What a great guy and TV show.
Beautiful video. You guys have a knack for keeping the viewer interested from beginning to end!
What a wonderful episode here! Thanks so very much for remembering the old greats!
One Word - FANTASTIC!
Thank you so much for your encouragement. We got hammered by a bunch of negative comments out of the starting gate this morning so it’s nice to hear that some folks appreciate the effort.
Best episode yet!! I learned so much about Hollywood that I never knew. Most surprising was Joe E. Brown's tribute to himself and the Eklund Sisters; so tragic.
Keep up the good work!!
love these cemetery tours!!
Awesome Jeff, & Good Morning from Joplin, Mo.
Lots of memories came flooding back as you walked amongst the graves, especially w/ Louis Lamour whose books I too was an aficionado of, everytime Mom found one of the books at rummage sales, my collection grew til nearly the whole set of his writings were on that bookshelf & stacked in front of it..... 😎 Good Times!!
Thanks for the memory lane trip, only problem was, I found my eyes turning into sprinklers on occasion.....
I so look forward to Sundays! You can really pack so much into one video. I’m never bored. Thanks!
Excellent! I've visited there, and it's pretty overwhelming. So many famous people buried at one place.
Truly amazingly huge. 350 acres and 330,000 burials. Crazy!
Watched again today with my coffee. I always love to see what significance people put on their lives to reflect on their grave stones.
That cemetery is a popular one and so massive!
My grandfather was a fan of Tom Mix. He had a tattoo of Tom on his arm.
Thank you Jeff for another great episode. Happy Mother's Day Sarah!
Thank you David!
This was an extraordinary video. I feel like I know so much more about these people. The restored car was amazing! We always look forward to Sunday evenings with Jeff. 🤩🤩
I grew up in Glendale, California in the 50’s and 70’s. I remember visiting Forest Lawn quite a few times.
I learned more about the history of the residents from this video than any visit could produce. Very interesting to learn how people ended up under those headstones and monuments.
Great job on this episode!
Wonderful show. Thank you.
Hi Jeff, Thank you for another great History Lesson .
Wonderful, Fred! Blessings!
Great video! I really liked your commentary & pics of Tom Mix's '37 Phaeton. It's amazing to think it has been restored.
Truly amazing and a truly jaw-dropping cost!
Jimmy Stewart was one on the greatest actors in hollywood history.
I believe he was also!
Thank you for another touching trip down memory lane. Your videos are always a pleasure.
Glad you like them, Andi! We appreciate the sweet message! Blessings!
Amazing video ! Lots of memories ! I met Joe E BROWN in person at a USC baseball game ! Such great memories !
A wonderful video with so much information of great people. Well done and thank you.
Great video thanks for that. New subscriber and I love the narration and production quality. Much better than some of the stuff we see on cable tv.. Great job..
Thank you for that very uplifting comment, Dana. And welcome to our channel. It’s taken quite a while for people to find us but we hope to be at 100,000 subscribers by the end of the year. We try to put in great effort to make our videos the best that we can given our resources and our time and equipment.
That was beautifully done, thank you.
That was fascinating! Thankyou both so much for taking and showing us round! Was it my imagination or did the picture of Tom Mix and then mr Acord look almost identical?!, I loved James Stuart, my favourite film was his role as Glen Miller…he had an amazing ability to seemingly “morph” into the character he was playing….I felt sad that there were not more fresh flowers or pot plants left for him 😢 wish I could cross the pond and bring some to him and his wife, sadly missed. Best Wishes from the U.K. 🙋♀️😘💐👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏
Happy mother's Day sarah! Great video with a lot of variety of Legends. Thank you!
Happy Mother's Day!
Thanks Connie! Happy Mother’s Day to you too!
Your videos are superb! You go far and beyond in bringing us information on the folks whose graves you visit. You are fast becoming my fav. TH-cam channel for this type of content. Thank you so much for the hard work you put into these.
Hey Jeff, this was a really enjoyable vlog. Looking forward to more like this. Thank you! 👍🏼😃
We had some folks earlier say they think our channels getting stale by doing these. That was kind of disheartening because so much effort and time is placed into making these but I’m glad that you think we should continue.
You & Sarah do a great job putting these gravesite information together. We appreciate your effort and time. Please continue killing us such quality videos. ❤️🙏🏻🌹
I meant giving us such quality videos, Jeff. So sorry for my voice prompt typo. 😦
Another incredible video. Some I've heard of but many I received a lesson on and learned something new. Your ability to teach me something new every video is greatly appreciated. Even when I thought I knew the story, you give me those little extras. I was well aware of General Jimmy Stewart's time in uniform, but I had never heard about his son dying in Vietnam. Thank you for showing me the resting places of my Brother in Arms.
Thank you very much, Charles. We try to highlight different or lesser known aspects of a celebrity’s life when we visit the cemeteries.
Thanks again Jeff and Sarah for your hard work on this enjoy watching you very much have a wonderful week 😀 😊
Jeff! What a terrific episode!!!! Can’t thank you enough for the trip down memory lane! We so enjoyed Forest Lawn! On a side note, my mother-in-law had every book Louis Lamour ever wrote and now we have them. Both she and my husband have read them over and over again. Thank you so much for all you do in providing this great content!
Your biggest Tennessee (formerly California) fans😉 (Go see Tom Mix’s home!)
Wow you covered so many people here Jeff... really think you out did yourself!! Just to many to comment on but thanks again for the stroll back in time with famous people of the past!
As always 👍👍
There is a lot of history in cemeteries...Thank you...I always learn something from you videos...Thank you for your knowledge and research..Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers out there.
Jeff and Sarah, I very much enjoyed this episode. When you profiled some of the lesser known actors, I felt like I was seeing long lost friends. Btw, Tom Mix's horse, Tony, was rumored to have received as much fan mail as Tom did.
Thank you so much for all the legwork, prep, time and visuals, etc. you always provide us with, Jeff, and you, too, Sarah... They are always so informative and interesting. I recognize some of these people.🙏🏼👏🙏🏼
Interesting tour. You always do the research and tell the fascinating stories behind the people that you feature...
We sure aim to do just that! Thanks, Gerry! We are happy to read your feedback!
Great vlog, Jeff. Very tastefully done as always. Thank you for always paying proper homage to the people whose graves you feature by telling the story of their lives, which are an important part of Hollywood's history. Well done.
There is a little memorial with picnic benches and ramadas near the wash where Tom Mix left this world. It is about 18 miles south of Florence off the west side of AZ route 79 (US 80 at the time of his accident), about 100 yards north of the wash.
Loved all the history there.
Going to put that on my bucket list to see
Excellent video, well done,
many memories, thank youi.
My grandmother told me about when she was a teenager, she would go to Jimmy Stewart's parents hardware store in Butler, Pa just to gaze upon his handsome face.
Ted knight also played. In 2 episodes of Combat as a Nazi captain and as a sargent in a different episode...
Check out 'The Magic of Lassie' made in 1978 starring Jimmy Stewart. This may have been his second to the last film that he was in. The film also stars Mickey Rooney (possibly his last film), Pernell Roberts and Stephanie Zimbalist. It is not a great movie but is fun to watch.
I have been a huge fan of LL.A talented author. I continue to read his books. Thank You for showing this.
Another excellent, informative video. Have you considered going to Palm Springs and checking out celebrity homes? Some you can see (Marilyn Monroe) while some are behind fences and or tall hedges.
