Today, my travels take me to Westwood Village Memorial Park in Los Angeles, to visit the grave sites of the 1960s and '70s TV show GREEN ACRES cast members and the creator of the series--and a few others.
I visit the final resting places of:
Eddie Albert (Oliver Wendell Douglas) and his wife and actress Margot Albert
Eva Gabor (Lisa Douglas)
Jay Sommers (Writer and creator of GREEN ACRES)
Sydney Sheldon (Writer)
Lou Ann Simms (Singer)
John Cassavettes (Actor)
Plus, I remember actors Tom Lester and Alvy Moore.
Thanks for joining me on another nostalgic road trip down memory lane.

Steve: Eddie Albert was a personal friend of mine. I met him in 1998 and would often visit him at his home. He once came to visit me in my home town and we had a wonderful reception for him. He thoroughly enjoyed his visit. Eddie was a very kind man who always took time to stop and speak with those who would recognize him no matter where he was at. He said if it were not for his fans, he would not be the man he was. He planted his own vegetables at his home. His front and back yards clearly showed this. When I would eat at his home, I always enjoyed the fresh salads from his garden. I truly appreciate my friendship with Eddie.

thanks for sharing this, john. it's really nice to hear he was a down to earth guy who appreciated his fans. sounds like you were very lucky to have had him as a friend.

@@TheGraveyardChannel When you were doing Albert's mini bio you left out his role in "The Longest Day" where he appeared alongside Robert Mitchum, and many other works including "Brother Rat" starring future POTUS Ronald Reagan. I mention those war movies because Albert was actually a decorated WW2 Coast Guard & Navy war vet who was in the battle of Tarawa where he was the skipper/pilot of a crew of troop boats in the amphibious landing of US Marines. Albert distinguished himself receiving a Bronze Star with Combat "V" for courageously, directly, and indirectly rescuing 37, and another 40 Marines respectively, that were trapped on the bloody beach that was under extremely heavy fire. Albert had toured Mexico as a clown and high-wire artist with the Escalante Brothers Circus. But Albert was undercover there also secretly working for the U.S. Army intelligence, photographing German U-boats in Mexican harbors.

Hello Steve. I'm new a subscriber. Being home with the flu, watching RU-vid, I came across your channel. First, I'd like to thank you. Your demeanor and respect for the final resting place of the many Hollywood artists is extremely appreciated and exceptional. Many years ago Edward Albert was a client and neighbor of mine and someone who became a friend. I met his parents several times and have one precious memory of having tea with Margo while looking through the family's photo albums. She was an amazing woman. So, again thank you for being so kind in your vlogs...to me and many others the people you highlight are people we love dearly. And coincidentally, I remember seeing Star Wars at the very same theater. It was an enormous line but definitely worth the wait. Love to meet you in person sometime.

@TheGraveyardChannel 5 лет назад

Hi Lisa, thanks so much for sharing these personal memories. I love hearing things like this. LOL, the way the Universe works, we were probably sitting next to each other in that theater in 1977 watching Star Wars :-) Maybe I will do a meet up in the LA area one of these days.

You aren't alone. I, too, recall the theaters in which I have viewed memorable movies. Good narration work! Your anecdotes are spot on with just what I would want to know. I decided to subscribe after having watched a only a few of you videos. I've often thought that it would be fun to visit gravesites of famous people or gravestones with unusual names and practice the hobby of Gravestone Rubbing. I think that would be a nice collection in an oversized notebook. Crazy, I know! Have you ever done that with any of the gravesites you've visited?

@TheGraveyardChannel 4 года назад

i've heard that it's pretty popular back east where cemeteries are much older and it's often difficult to read the inscriptions. everything is pretty new here in california, so real need to. i think it's great to preserve the past that way, though. thanks for watching and subscribing, david. i appreciate it!

@verycherry4459 2 года назад

I hadn't thought of that, but that would be interesting thing to do with relatives graves old and new, friends who have passed, maybe keep a separate ones for celebrities. The reason it might be helpful is preservation of family graves. Even looking at them after 10 years passing they may start to show little signs of wear. After 30 years they show a bit more and 60 or more years the wear can start to become very noticeable. Plus, I'm not sure if this is a good or a bad thing, but the energy that comes off those things might be a little interesting, so maybe that's not such a good idea to bring that all back from the grave, especially if there will be a whole book of them, lol.

@Bill23799 4 года назад

There were several crossover episodes where the characters from the Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres and Petticoat Junction visited with each other down there at Hooterville. Granny had a big crush on Mr. Drucker. There was a big holiday dinner at the Shady Rest in one episode.

Great stuff as usual, Steve. I think one of Eddie Albert's greatest film roles, which may have earned him an Oscar nomination/award was as the shell shocked crazy colonel in the film "Captain Newman, MD", which had a star studded cast. The lead was played by Gregory Peck, along with Angie Dickinson, Nick Adams, Robert Duval and Lee Remick. What a terrific film, which most have probably never even heard of. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for making this video! I'm on a Green Acres kick watching the episodes on the Roku channel (July 2022). It started out as a suggestion from my Dad to watch this show when he visits and he picks dinner up to bring over and we sit and watch TV. The other one we have watched some of is Topper and I have seen a couple episodes of Petticoat Junction he suggested but I wanted to finish this first. I know I had seen Green Acres when I was younger a little here and there but I was too young to fully appreciate it as a little kid. I hope they keep this show on there forever!!! It's impossible for me to watch and be in a bad mood and the theme song is stuck in my head which is fine by me. I've been laid up and it's the perfect show. I wasn't old enough to exist when it came on weekly the first time around. I'm a 70s child. I'm on Season 3. Eva was the epitome of elegance, along with that generation of starlets and the generation before them, not like the celebrities and the culture we have today. Everyone on the show just played their part so wonderfully and they were so engaging that it feels like an escape with familiar friends. I don't normally watch television and I don't have cable for that reason, but I love this show!! This was back when television was creative and wholesome and actually worth watching, in my opinion. This is going to have me exploring the other shows you mentioned like Petticoat Junction some more. Thanks again and please keep the videos coming! This is the first I've seen of yours and I've subscribed. I am definitely going to watch your other ones. I love to travel and I can't right now and these things fascinate me, learning straight from someone who is "on the ground" who is actually there. I love how you have researched and share information while showing us around. It's like we are there with you and you are respectful, giving reverence to the departed and that is deeply appreciated.

I named him Richard. As for Star Wars, our son was 4 at the time (he was also born on May 4). I believe we saw the movie at the Kokomo Mall theater. We loved the movie and our son collected all the merch he could until he was in his 20s. He still has quite a bit of his collection.

What about Arnold Ziffel, he was like the second, or third most popular actor on that show.

@marilynj8299 4 года назад

Steve, just had to enjoy a rerun "on demand", as Green Acres is still my place to be. A fave, along w/ The Addams Family, both of which feature zany comedy in the most entertaining of ways. Next I'll head back to your tour of resting sites of Carolyn Jones, etc. Thank you for your historic visits. Has anyone mentioned Eddie Albert was a decorated WWII combat pilot who fought in a raging 3-day battle? He was very modest & humble about his contributions to our country. He loved to both to serve the US and be a bright spot in our lives. Thank you for your historic visits & accounts of celeb lives!

Thanks FA. I just watched some of your videos. Have you ever thought about being in front of the camera? If I can do it, anyone can :-) It makes the videos so much more personal and watchable. For me, anyway. How lucky are you to be traveling around in your RV!

I remember when Star Wars come out , But I never had interest . I remember them advertising it on the radio in our school bus riding to school 👍🏻 we had a cool bus driver. Our bus was the only bus that had a radio . But it was a long bus ride to school & back home. Thank You Steve for sharing.

@jameshoopes6467 2 года назад

Yes, I’ll always remember Green Acres. But when I think of Eddie Albert, I also remember that he was awarded the bronze star in World War 2 for rescuing 47 Marines. A talented man and a very humble hero.

Oh and I watched all the famous sit coms from the 1960s and I love Lucy and The Honeymooners from the 1950s. We got our first TV in 1961.

@@TheGraveyardChannel ... I know everbody has to go some time, but that doesn't stop us from missing them. I sure do miss them. I live in Nashville and there are a couple of cemeteries where some of the famous country singers have been interred. Such as Jerry Reed, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Eddie Arnold, Johnny Paycheck and others. I've been to one of the cemeteries called The Woodlawn cemetery. The other has Keith Whitley that I know of. Steve, maybe one day you can come to Nashville and show some of your reports.

I saw the original 'Star Wars' at the McCain Mall Twin Cinema in North Little Rock Arkansas. I too, spent at least two hours, with hundreds of other people, waiting in line to see it. And no, it's not uncommon to remember where you saw your most memorable movies. I have a very good memory, in that regard.

Loved Green Acres, Steve. I visited Eva Gabor’s and Eddie Albert’s final resting places when I was in LA in 2016. This cemetery is awesome. It one of my favourites. I will be visiting this cemetery again.

I can still sing the complete theme from Green Acres, the Beverly Hillbillies & all those TV shows! I wonder where Arnold the pig is buried? Maybe he went to Farmer John heaven! Lol! Thanks for another trip down Memory Lane Steve!

@TheGraveyardChannel 5 лет назад

LOL, the theme songs were all so catchy back then. As for Arnold, I read that he was cremated and that they were interred in his trainer, Frank Inn's grave. But I don't think that's accurate since it's not allowed, in Calif. anyway. Someone else said the family has the ashes. Much better than Farmer John heaven ;-) Thanks, Kerri!

@bender7565 5 лет назад

My dogs know I love Green Acres. I was surprised by Eddie's modest marker. He did a little spying for the Army when he was a circus performer in Mexico before the war. I believe he was a crazy trapeze guy. After the US joined the war and he put himself in harms way and was a true hero while in the USN. Never heard a bad word about anyone on that show. Saw Star Wars 2 days after it opened and we walked right in, it was a while ago but here it had low expectations and after a slow start....after it was over I remember telling my buddy, 'That was a good movie, it didn't suck at all.'
