Hollywood Forever Cemetery review Rate it

The owners of Hollywood Forever have come in for criticism for promoting the place as a tourist attraction, but any place 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 lover man. 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.

I would love to go back here it is a really beautiful cemetary. Lots of actors and actresses are buried here. It was only $5.00 for a map of where the famous people are buried. You can also get a great picture of the Hollywood sign.
