I love how you showcase people who worked behind the scenes as well as the entertainers we all know. Composers, producers, directors etc deserve recognition too and you do a great job of that!
Whaaat Gladys Knight was Aaliyah's Aunt. That is why this is the most intelligent, respectful, informative, best narrative videos out there. Arthur Park keep them coming.
Rachael Leeth I don’t think it’s morbid. Just peaceful! But yes I get what u mean...I just had to better understand myself. I figured it’s just respect and beauty of life and death. :)
Aaliyah was definitely “One in a Million”. Such an immensely talented woman who had a bright future. She is missed by so many. May she Rest In Peace ❤️🙏🏼🎶
It's so tragic that her life was cut short by such a simple mistake. What's even more tragic is this is a bit more common than we think. I've heard of reports of VERY close calls where planes nearly crashed simply because there was too much stuff on board. I didn't like the movie Queen of the damned because it was so vastly different from the novel by the late Anne Rice but Aaliyah truly lived up to her name and did what she could with the role. She played Akasha, the mother of all the modern vampires such as Armand and Lestat. It was a memorable performance but sadly, great acting alone cannot save a bad film.
You are so right,Toni!She was such a talented singer and actress. She was definitely, "One In A Million". I was so sad when I heard Aaliyah was tragically killed in a plane crash.This accident could have been avoided.Aaliyah will be missed.😢😭😪
Glad to see aaliyah malcom x and Ed Sullivan never thought I'd get to ever see their Graves. Never forget the day aaliyah died it was so heartbreaking. Also what happened to malcom x being murdered the way that he was was pretty sad. But still one of my favorites along with Martin Luther King.
Aaliyah!! Miss you baby girl!! Played "Rocked the boat"at my wedding reception ! Tip a 40 in your name Evey anniversary! RIP! If you had lived, there would be no Beyonce' .. Aaliyah the 1st QUEEN!!
Arthur i thought you should know i go to the university of Minnesota and my film teacher is now obsessed with your work. My whole class binged your episodes in class he used your episodes as an example in our class!!
Omgosh that's awesome! Commenting to hopefully bump this comment up! Idk how YT does comments or the order in which they appear....let's hope Arthur sees this!!
Cab Calloway was also in the Janet Jackson video for the song "Alright" in 1989, as part of the storyline of the video was Janet getting tickets for one of his shows
I understand Judy Garland's family wanting her close and to be buried near her, but when you read on how she was treated by Hollywood executives and all the abuse she suffered at their hands. I wish they had of honored her by not putting her in that cold and uncaring town.
she was born in 1922 and the family moved to California in 1926, she sure lived there a long time for hating it , and some of her family still lives there
@Lost...Thank you for that observation, which only goes to underscore what I've said about social conditions in Hollywood, in this case, for the African American. I said life wasn't exactly a bowl of cherries for ANYONE. Put another way, ALL lives were affected in some way from time to time by that "...cold and uncaring town."
She was buried in NY because of her then husband, her kids I guess wanted her in LA, she spent most of her life in California, actually her kids insisted on it, if you read up on it
Another great episode! Basil Rathbone was a wonderful surprise. One of my mom's favorite actors, brought back fun memories of watching Sherlock Holmes movies with her.
I once worked as a security personnel at a cemetery in Brooklyn NY.. border of Queens a while back...I never felt such a calmness and serenity in the presence...most would be creeped out by the idea.but not me..I respect the dead.. and I look into things esp . when I read an epitaph or feel a vibe...
I immediately clicked when the notification came. Another fabulous video. These are like mini documentaries. You have a gift of making those deceased alive again. Thank you.
It's a great day when Hollywood Graveyard uploads a new video! ☺️ Thank you for visiting Aaliyah's grave. Been a fan of her music growing up and I miss her to this day.
For the movie "The Matrix Reloaded" (2003), the role of "Zee" was originally played by Aaliyah. But she died before filming was completed, requiring her scenes to be reshot with actress Nona Gaye.
❤️❤️JUDY GARLAND❤️❤️ Just recently discovered her cover of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas on my search for Christmas music. If you haven't heard it, you must! If I had the ability to sing like her I’d never speak again! I'd sing everything!! Oh, what a treasure she was! I understand too that her rise in Hollywood wasn't easy.. Diet pills Diet pills Diet pills! Because they said she was plump.. That's horrible to do to anyone.. But in spite of all the hardships, she endured and was able to leave this world a legacy of such a beautiful determined individual.. With an angelic voice that is so very her own.. Somewhere over the Rainbow is where we’ll find her❤️❤️
Just to let you know, Judy did not cover Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, she was the first to sing it, it was written for her for the movie Meet Me in St Lois.
I'm really enjoying all of your videos! As a child, my Grandmother would take us kids to different cemeteries. For a long time, we all thought that was strange. Now that I'm in my 50's, I think it's cool. I love the backstories on the people you showcase as well as the cemeteries themselves. Well Done!
I always went to the funeral homes as a child, and loved going into the different room, util one day I saw a mother and a new born baby, and I did not wan to go into the other rooms again. I saw Emit Tills body in his casket, and I was 12. It was horrible. Why are we killing each others folks.
Thank you so much for showing your respect to the legendary Joan Crawford and not mentioning the awful gossip her so-called daughter spread in her book. I was also touched by the fact that you visited the grave of John Garfield. Always had a soft spot for this actor. Nice to see he's not forgotten.
Ace 88 RC Fun&Reviews Are you a 100% sure of that? I know he did a viewer series which was 6 parts I believe but I’m not sure if it’s still fab videos or not
@@jameskennedy552 after watching more then a couple videos I realized your right that was only a viewer series I was watching. And he is primarily based in California
Ace 88 RC Fun&Reviews the fan submissions where great though since they showed a lot he would have never been able to show us on his own. But it’s nice to see him getting out and exploring New York on his own too
Gershwin also has a theater named after him on Broadway. Wicked plays there. Very cool. And also. Very cool of you for not bringing up Joan Crawfords family drama. People tend to forget about everything she was and did because of it. Nicely done.
This is my third go round of watching all of your videos. There's something good to be said for short-term memory loss because there is no way I could remember all that you do so I just keep watching. And "Bravo" to Giuseppe Vasapolli whose music is never overbearing but embracing.
Growing up with all these wonderful entertainers and contributors to the entertainment industry, every single episode of HOLLYWOOD GRAVEYARD brings happy tears to my eyes with the memories of these awesome people and their every unselfish endeavour. And yet, I feel part of me is resting there with them in familial spirit. I love these episodes, and I love these tears. More, I love these people. Thank you all so very much!
Poetic wind-up centered on the tree - beautifully crafted, sincerely presented in your inimitable voice. Nobody quite like you, Arthur Dark, on the internet as far as I've seen. Your work is exemplary.🌹🙏💐
I miss Aaliyah taken away so young beautiful and talented loved her music. I grew up listening to her music I was born in June the same year as her, so she was my idol in school and college.
I was born in the Caribbean but grew up in America and Canada. In the Caribbean we would frown upon doing this in cemeteries, but I truly appreciate what you do. Not only that, but your productions have a quality that is beyond compare. Such class, style, and respect for the dearly departed. I rather think that the dead stand by their graves, watch what you do and smile, honoring everyone from the greatest performers to those who worked behind the scenes. Thank you so very much for this. I am now a fan!
Thank you so much! I had major surgery this week and have burned through almost all the videos! Thank you for “getting me out of the house” while I recover. Thank you for making this bearable.
@@mattgray871 idc she's not in the video i hate when people feel like they have to bring left eye or selena up when a video isn't about them! Aaliyah and left eye wasn't even friends but they met before
Great job, and great video, as always. Can't wait to see part 5! I remember JamMaster Jay, and thanks to our Jewish Bros and Sisters for their talents and crafts in their time, and to Malcolm X and Paul Robeson for their contributions for the Civil Rights movement (your works were not in vain❤️❤️) and Joan Crawford was an amazing actor! She was really good, all of the actresses were! I was sad all over again, when I saw Aaliyah's resting place, because I loved her music, and she's my sister's favorite singer/actress, and my dad's favorite, too. He died in 2004, and he'd always had a crush on her, lol 😆. We saw both of her movies(Queen of the Damned and Romeo Must Die) together, and we have all of her cassettes and CDS. I even saw her "Making The Video" for her last video/song, "Rock the Boat" episode on MTV when it aired before she died and for a long time people thought that the pilot had been under the influence of drugs and was flying the plane, despite being high and the plane being severely overloaded, but somehow, I don't think that is true anymore, it was just a terrible accident....i still remember right where I was when I found out she had died: It was the day before I started high school for the first time in 2001, and about two weeks before the events of 9/11, and I was in my room cleaning up and getting ready for my first year of high school the next day, while watching MTV(or BET, I can't remember) and all of a sudden, a breaking news report showed up and that's when I heard the headline, it was short, but it hurt my heart when I heard it-" singer and actress, Aaliyah, died in a plane crash today at the age of 22"..I stopped what I was doing and ran to my sister's room crying, telling her that Aaliyah was gone, and we sat and watched the report again later that afternoon. All MTV and BET music stations played ALL of her hit songs, back to back until the end of the week, and every music shop in town sold out of all of her albums and tapes. I'm sure that there were many singers who were also actors, who were really good, but Aaliyah was one of the best. Not just because her aunt is THE Gladys Knight, but Aaliyah was a bright, amazing, funny, talented and gifted young lady, and everyone loved her, including me and my family. Even 17 years later, I still can't listen to her songs, or watch her films; because it makes me so sad to listen to them. She was(and still is) one of the greats, and even in 2018-19, would have been better than most of the singers/actors of today. I miss her so much, but I know that she is one of Heaven's beautiful angels, singing for her Lord and Savior, and my dad, lol 😆, and she will live on in her music and in our hearts forever. Rest well, Aaliyah ❤️😢
My favorite episode yet! Two beautiful cemeteries and so many wonderful musicians, composers, singers, actors, activists and the list goes on. Btw, when I was a youngster I saw Cab Calloway perform and drove my parents crazy for a week afterwards singing the Hi De Ho song. (Yes, I'm older than dirt--lol.) Can't wait for Part 5 of your visit to New York. Many thanks, Arthur!
Loving the New York series so far! As it turns out, Elvis was far more devastated about Judy than just not going to the premiere. I believe he couldn’t bring himself to watch it afterwards.
Another unforgettable video of Hollywood Graveyard. Thank you so much mister Dark. You are a class apart. You made me cry with the story of Paul Robeson. Fuck racism! You really deserve a special Oscar for all your superb work.
Great video. I loved Aaliyah, damn I loved her pretty self. That was sad how she died. Like to hear the history of the people that was here before me. I knew about a few of them, like to hear about the people, I had never heard of before, great history. RIP to those folks.
Really enjoyed this, as I have all of them. I’m a fan of Joan Crawford’s so I’m glad you had her in this episode. I enjoy walking through cemeteries as does my daughter.
I discovered your series last year when I was researching my novel "The Mortician". I still watch your videos to this day. Your series is captivating. Thanks so much for sharing this.
And just when I thought Arthur Dark could not top New York #3, he does! I am humbled by the breadth and depth of this video. Literally, from A (Aaliyah) to Z (Zukor) and everyone in between. Absolutely fantastic. The section about Aaliyah is greatly appreciated. Although she had many great songs, "Journey to the Past" will always be my favorite. Thank you, Arthur, for another tremendous year of exceptional work. Blessings.
Wow I never knew Elvis did not see Jailhouse Rock because of Judy that sweet man aw 😢💕I love Cab Calloway he was brilliant. I love his music in Betty Boop cartoons he worked with Max F. Judy 😢
Bravo again Mr Dark! These get better & better! I was so glad to see Tony Randall. One of my ultimate favorites.❤ I had no idea Basil Rathbone (another favorite) was buried here in the states. So many in this video passed away far too young. Not only were they cheated out of a long life, but when I think of all what we were cheated out of, it makes me cry. All this awesome talent wasted. What a shame. I look forward to each video, you never disappoint. Thank you so much. Have a Merry Christmas & the Happiest of New Years. The same for whoever helps you create these awesome videos. Thank you so much! ❤🎄🎅🎁👍☺
So happy to get this notification although I cant watch now lol but I sure will as soon as i have free time. Joan and Aaliyah ... queens! EDIT: Beautiful message at the end
Your vlog is pure genius. When I told some of my friends that I'm hooked on your vlog about the resting places of the famous they first thought me wierd. I now have them watching your videos too. I can't wait until the next one. Happy Holidays from the gray and chilly south.
Amazing as usual, jam packed with heavy hitters, this series has been so much different than West Coast graves to me, and I like the fact that as more entertainment people pass these videos will be updated and virtually never end, hopefully.
Im so glad you showed where Judy Holliday was interred. She was fabulous in Born Yesterday. I laughed all the way through it. What a tragedy she died so young. Loved her, she was so talented. Thank you for uploading.
Hey Arthur. I really like your New York series. Very cool. Maybe when you're back in California, you can do a couple from up here in the north end of the state. Thanks brother! 👍🏻
How do you do it Mr. Dark.? I am very good with words and the ability to put the right ones together. But, You both Amaze and Baffle me with your Genius and personality. The Combination you have mixed with intelligence and the ability to weave so much knowledge into such a short video is the baffling part. May God grant you Happiness, Health, Joy, Long Life, Wealth, True Friendship, Discernment and extend the love of Life and Humor you all ready have. Because Mr. Dark God has given you a Gift, A Wonderful Gift . But so many people keep things like that to themselves for fear of losing them, Not you sir, You share your Gifts with the world. And Always remember the greatest Grave of all. The one In Jerusalem where Millions every year flock to see.......... An EMPTY Tomb. For we are upon the Season of Celebrating the Man who walked out of his own Grave. Jesus of Nazareth. God Bless you and Merry Christmas Mr. Dark, And may there be many more for you as well as the ones you Love.
