Hollywood Remains to Be Seen is a fascinating, gossipy guide to the
fourteen most significant Hollywood-area cemeteries and the final
resting places of the movie stars who are buried in them. Arranged
as easy-to-follow tours of the properties, the fourteen chapters --
one for each cemetery -- include histories of the cemeteries,
directions for finding them, and a detailed listing of exactly
where more than three hundred stars are buried.
Strange as it may seem, cemeteries are becoming one of the most
popular destinations for tourists to Hollywood and for film fans
who want to pay their respects to the rich and famous and
passed-on. Every year, millions of people from all over the world
visit the graves of the legendary film stars buried in Hollywood,
and the interest in these places grows from year to year.
Hollywood Remains to Be Seen highlights the legend and lore of
celebrity graves, from Rudolph Valentino's mysterious "Lady in
Black" to the regular delivery of one red rose to Marilyn Monroe's
grave, to the strange journeys made by the body of John Barrymore
immediately after his death in 1942 -- and again thirty-eight years
later. Also included are information and images of Hollywood's most
lavish and majestic graves, from the huge mausoleum of Douglas
Fairbanks Sr., complete with Roman pillars and a giant reflecting
pool; to Liberace's flamboyant tomb, with a musical score set on
white marble; to the spectacular domed monument of Al Jolson,
featuring a life-sized statue of the entertainer atop a 120-foot
cascading waterfall.
Heavily illustrated with nearly one hundred photographs,
Hollywood Remains to Be Seen includes photographs of the
celebrities as well as photographs ofthe cemeteries, mausoleums,
and graves, maps of the burial grounds and gravesites, and a final
section fitly titled "Exit Lines" made up of celebrities' last
words.
