Time Out says

The owners of Hollywood Forever have been criticized for promoting the place as a tourist attraction, but any cemetery that houses the remains of such celluloid luminaries as Cecil B. DeMille and Jayne Mansfield would probably become one regardless. It's also the resting place of Rudolph Valentino; legend has it that a mysterious "Woman in Black" still stalks the cemetery, mourning the demise of Hollywood's original loverboy. Mel Blanc's headstone says "That's All, Folks!"; Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and Jr. are in a huge tomb in front of a lake guarded by a fountain and three black swans. William Andrews Clark Jr., founder of the LA Philharmonic, has an even bigger mausoleum in the middle of a lake.

Aside from popular posthumous celebs, Hollywood Forever is also home to summer outdoor movie screenings; Cinespia-hosted sleepovers with projected films, live music and games; as well as a number of unique concert events (past performers include Bon Iver, the XX, and Sigur Ros).

What’s on

Joanna Newsom

  • Folk, country and blues

It’s been nearly a decade since, Divers, onetime “freak-folk” icon Joanna Newsom’s singular opus full of artfully swooping vocals, deft harp skills, world-building lyrics and meticulous, knotty arrangements. Catch her pull from that and the rest of her remarkable catalog at this string of solo shows at the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever. Newsom will play but piano and harp, and she’s even scheduled a matinee specifically for kids.
