The "Secret" Hidden Celebrity Cemetery

welcome everyone I'm in the Greater Los Angeles area today in Westwood and right here amongst all of these buildings is a very minut secretive cemetery that a lot of people do not realize exists it's right back down that alley you could call it the cemetery of the stars heck even the hidden cemetery of the stars you want to check it out join me shall you [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] one of the things I love about this place is this virtually unknown unless you know it is here you would never realize as you're driving through the Greater Los Angeles area that amongst the skyscrapers and buildings that this wonderful place exists and even more amazing than that are some of the celebrities the countless amount of celebrities and the back stories behind their deaths and their graves that exist right here one of my favorites of course Don Knotts the story on this Don Knotts headstone was he had a normal headstone similar to the other ones you see around him but later on as time went on they replaced it with this really fantastic one with all the different characters that Don Knotts played throughout his career this is Heather over Orcs grave she was the little girl in poltergeist 1 & 2 and she died at a very young age she was born in 1975 and passed away in 1988 here is the final resting place of Truman Capote and you might find it unusual that the name Joanne Carson is below his emblem and the reason Joanne Carson is buried here is because she was best friends with Truman Capote even though she was married to Johnny Carson she is buried next to her friend here's Richard Dawson of course famous for family feud but I know him from the running mode it was also in August heroes hug and Bob cranes right over there over this way this way so this is Bob Crane and his wife who played Elga on the on the show hope and stress Baba unfortunately was murdered and I don't know if they ever solved the group in case you're wondering who that voice is that is the voice of the one and only mr. X who was just off-camera say something hello and he knows a lot about Hollywood Beverly Hills the whole Greater Los Angeles history and a lot of like movie star and TV stuff so he's tagging along he doesn't want to be on camera never on cam never on camera but you're gonna hear his voice and he will be peppering in some knowledge and some facts and figures about this fantastic place as the video progresses so there's Burt Lancaster sorry trying to clean off mr. Kim and I'm guessing by how many headstones there are that he was cremated and his ashes and probably his urn is there in the ground now I know Burt Lancaster was famous back in the day but I remember Burt Lancaster from a baseball movie called Field of Dreams and he gave this great quote about how if he had one wish he would slide in a second wrap his hands around the bag and that was his one wish and it always hits me right here someone has left roses for Dean Martin just think after all this time he passed away in 1995 people are still coming out and paying their respects to Dean Martin now correct me if I'm wrong but didn't farrah fawcett pass away the same day as Michael Jackson that's right and so I think that you know her passing away the fame of a famous person passing away was overshadowed by Michaels - neither did you have her posturing I never had her poster huh I wasn't allowed ever question all I had her poster I may or may not have it hanging now next to my bed it's a very beautiful grave nice flowers nice headstone it's finally good to see that Rodney is getting some respect and this is the inside of the chapel so pretty much everyone who is buried or has had a service here at least a good portion of them their coffin has been right there and all those mourning the friends and family sitting right here it's pretty wild to think that [Applause] right here in this section you'll notice there are a lot of gravestones that have nothing written on them the only one that does is over here to the right sage Stallone who is Sylvester Stallone son and you might remember him best from Rocky 5 he played the actual son of Stallone in the movie he passed away in 2012 and I do not know for certain but I'm wondering if this entire plot is dedicated to the entire Stallone family since sage is the only one that has passed away you will notice this plant but no headstone where this plant is is the unmarked grave of roy orbison right here they never put a headstone no one even knows he's here the only thing to document it is this plant there's yet another unmarked grave out here right here between these two headstones is the unmarked grave a frank zappa right here this is Natalie woods grave of course Natalie Wood died a from a drowning accident a very controversial drowning accident and she was in a lot of movies but the most famous being rebel without a cause with James Dean and there's her headstone the Bettie Page the queen of the pinups probably the most famous pinup artist of all time miss Bettie Page right there Dorothy stratten Playboy Playmate who was murdered in 1980 and the house that she was murdered in was later used as a film about her life and they filmed it in the home that she was murdered in - true story of course the most famous grave out here is Marilyn Monroe's grave and there was an employee just cleaning off all the lipstick marks that women and men come out here and kiss Marilyn's ribbon you can see it's been cleaned so many times that is stained with lipstick as it's been smeared look at the difference we dis on this and there's a lot of urban legends and some factual some untrue things about the Maryland grave Richard hunter supposedly was buried upside down face down that way he could be on top of Maryland forever and another rumor is that this will belong to the one and only Hugh Hefner I don't know if these are factual or untrue but these are the stories thanks for watching everyone I didn't show all the graves here but I showed some of the more famous and unusual storied ones if you're ever in the Hollywood area keep an eye out for this very amazing cemetery and stop by see you guys

I really liked the fact that he did this tour of this cemetery with a lot of respect for the people resting there.

I find it highly unlikely that people don't know where this is those are a lot of big names

At first I thought this was a joke, but it turned out to be one of the most fascinating YouTube vids I've ever seen.

The marble cover for Marilyn's spot was interesting. Marble is porous, so it does make sense that it would eventually turn dark after years of lipstick stains.

I always liked this guy's weirdo videos.

This was absolutely fascinating, I was actually disappointed when it ended.
