Hollywood Forever Cemetery's Famous Citizens 

Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle did not rape Virginia Rappe. He was charged in very flimsy evidence and went through two mistrials until he was found not guilty in a third trial. In the jury's verdict in the third trial the jurors went so far as to include in their findings that: "Acquittal is not enough for Roscoe Arbuckle. We feel that a great injustice has been done him. We feel also that it was only our plain duty to give him this exoneration, under the evidence, for there was not the slightest proof adduced to connect him in any way with the commission of a crime. He was manly throughout the case and told a straightforward story on the witness stand, which we all believed. The happening at the hotel was an unfortunate affair for which Arbuckle, so the evidence shows, was in no way responsible. We wish him success and hope that the American people will take the judgment of fourteen men and woman who have sat listening for thirty-one days to evidence, that Roscoe Arbuckle is entirely innocent and free from all blame." Arbuckle was charged with having alcohol at the party Rappe was at (during Prohibition) and the cost of lawyers for the trials broke him financially.

I like the way you take the time to explain each and every one of the actors and actresses great job Jeff

thank you , truly ,the golden years of Hollywood !

You implied The Arbuckle had something to do with the death of Virginia Rappe. This is totally false. Virtually the only indisputable facts seem to be that on September 5, 1921, there was a party at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco where alcohol was in abundance (despite Prohibition laws) and that both Arbuckle, then age 33, and a woman named Virginia Rappe were in attendance. Then, at some point during the revelry, Arbuckle and Rappe were briefly in the same hotel room together. But when Arbuckle left the room, Rappe remained lying on the bed “writhing in pain.” Four days later, she was dead of a ruptured bladder. Another partygoer soon accused Fatty Arbuckle of raping and killing her and he was tried three different times for those crimes. But the first two trials ended with hung juries and the third ended with an acquittal. The partygoer later recant his statement. Whatever happened that night, Virginia Rappe’s condition had still not improved three days afterward. It was then that she was taken to a hospital where doctors originally thought she had alcohol poisoning from the bootleg liquor. But as it turned out, she had peritonitis resulting from a ruptured bladder likely caused by her pre-existing condition.

Thank you Jeff & Sarah for this Hollywood Episode.. it's too bad that the security had to ruin it.

Fascinating video. Thanks so much.

Hi Jeff and Sarah...my mother was a big fan of Tyrone Power she said he was the most handsomest man she had ever seen. My father took us to Hollywood Forever the day of his funeral just so my mother could see his casket. She is 91 and still says Tyrone was so handsome.

My very dear friend, and actress Francine York passed away in 2017, and is inurned there. She was in many TV shows, from the late 1950s to 2015. :( I am always SO impressed with the research and editing you do for your excellent videos!

Great video! Jeff and Sarah have a Happy New Year. Fun and information doesn't get any better. Look forward to more forays!😊👍

"Missed it by that much!" Maxwell Smart... My Favorite Show as a Kid. The Cone of Silence cracked me up!.

That was so interesting. Well done once again! Have a Happy New Year! I look forward to your videos! God Bless you both.

I enjoyed this very much. Thank you all who were part of it. Great stuff, as always.

Thanks Jeff and Sarah for your video of Hollywood Forever Cemetery. It is one of my favorites because my favorite actor is buried there Tyrone Power. I would love to come as see it for myself, but I don't think that will be possible. Keep up the good work.

am new to your channel, and am so happy to see Christopher Jones, when I was a teenager he was on my wall but as time goes on forgot his name and now that memory is in full bloom once again....thanks for giving me a glimpse into my past..

Anyone that enjoyed this I also recommend the videos of Hollywood Graveyard. Excellently shot and narrated.

Thanks for the video. Never would've seen all of those otherwise. 👍

Absolutely the best program on TV! Love Sarah Love Jeff. Your number one fan Lou Martell

Great Jeff, Sarah. I hope to get there myself someday. (to visit, not permanently!)

That was great, I have always been intrigued by Marion Davies, I have her original postcards of her home and the ocean side castle Hearst built for her. I didn't realized she was buried at this cemetery but a beautiful resting place it is. What a beautiful, kind woman. She helped so many less fortunate souls on this earth. May She Rest in Peace. As for not being able to video there, are they afraid those who are deceased aren't looking their best? Ugh, absurd.

Another one of your videos that I thoroughly enjoyed! Will I first found you and really enjoy your videos of the old west, these newer topics are enjoyable too!

This was a very interesting video. A beautiful cemetery!!

Great Video that's a beautiful cemetery Hollywood is a neat place lot of history there share a little Kentucky history my family is kin to Jesse James he would stay with my grandfather's parents Jeff and Sara you guys are awesome Randy from Kentucky.

Thank You for the lovely stories, I doubt I’ll ever make it back out to California but I got to see the famous cemetery anyway 😊!♥️♥️♥️ You videos are very interesting and informative! Just came across you today 😊!♥️♥️♥️

Love the history as always, great job

Thank you for taking me along,because i for one will never be able to go to Holly Wood and see all my fav Stars.I love how you explain everything you know about them.I love visiting graves,i feel they never should be forgotten.I think it is crazy that you are not allowed to video tape their graves,gee they know doubt feel if people watch it on here they will not go there to see it in person and that way they might not be able make the money if people do not go there on a tour guide!🙄I am so glad you got it done,before they cought on to what you were doing.Thank you once more for the great tour of these famous actors and their resting places.❤😊🙏

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell the history behind each star

I love cemetery vlogs. Sounds like that rent-a-cop was on a power trip. I have seen numerous videos at cemeteries. Oh well. Loved the video.

The turtles are real. Everyone vlogs all of the Hollywood cemeteries including myself. I get warned and when they leave I continue. Who wants snapshots of stars who passed.

Thank you sir!

Hi both of you...Thanks for the video, I really enjoy the tour. Speaking of the security guy, maybe they required to talk first with the cementery before do any recording. On another youtuber I follow (Hollywood Graveyard) he even made a full episode on that location without any problems. Speaking of episodes, you should do one covering all the material you have like the signed pictures for example. Of course if the material can be show publicly. Greetings to both.

Thankfully the security guard discovered you at the end of your visit. A beautiful cemetery.

The security guard is wrong your allowed to record in the cemetery. Always check with the main office just to be sure. The guard is on a power trip

I agree , for what they gave us. so much talent.hope you still can show more thank you.

You really show some GREAT pictures, WOW

Other vloggers have taped graves so that was bogus. Very beautiful place. Been there 2X myself but didn't see all the graves you pointed out.

Very well done, enjoyed this very much!👍

Cant video tape? That’s silly. Thanks for posting this. What a beautiful cemetery.

1/17/21.... Haven't watched for a bit. I enjoy your pieces. Hollywood's dead? More so than you know. Watch the next week...

Hattie Mc Daniel is buried at Angelus Rosedale, just west of downtown LA. One of LA's oldest cemeteries.

Enjoyed this..

I suggest that you re-visit the information about Fatty Arbuckle and Virginia Rappe. The narrative of brutal rape was pushed by Hearst in his newspapers. Arbuckle was acquitted after 3 trials, but his career was destroyed. When Arbuckle asked Hearst why he did this to him, Hearst replied " It wasn't personal, it was just business"

5:19 Mickey Rooney "It's a MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD World"! One of the greatest comedies of all time, if not the best. The ensemble cast will never be duplicated for how many well known stars were in it at one time. He was also in several movies with Judy Garland, so many, at one point Hollywood of then were thinking they were going to be married as a genuine couple. He also was in a not so well-known movie called "The Fireball" with a young Marilyn Monroe. She had a few speaking lines/scenes. He became a roller-skating champion. 10:19 her grave looks much better now as of 2024. She had what is known now as "pre-existing conditions" in 1921, which, she died from 4 days after the Arbuckle Hotel incident. He was acquitted from the main charge against him, and the jury even apologized for the injustice of 3 trials and no evidence of the main charge. There was NO crime. 23:13 Hollywood Forever cannot even get her cenotaph marker correct with the date of her birth. It is not 1938. It is 1933 - 1967. 23:56 Henry Cohn made a pass at Marilyn Monroe as well when she did one movie under the studio "Ladies of the Chorus". After he invited her to his yacht for a "party" she asked who else is going to be there, he said, us. She declined the invitation and wasn't renewed on her contract at Columbia. He was certainly another "Weinstein" .

beautiful video.. thank you

Wizard of Oz one of my favorite movies❤❤

Lovely pictures, especially that you caught a view of the iconic Hollywood sign from the graveyard. It is ridiculous that you can't photograph the graves. You are hardly intruding on the privacy of the dead. If you were swooning over Tyrone Power's grave or Virginia Rappe's or chipping a chunk of Doug Fairbanks,' tomb but you are not. All those people want to be remembered, and thank you for helping us do it.

Security....Ugh!

Ignore that security guard!! HUNDREDS of people have videotaped inside Hollywood Forever cemetery. You aren't the first and you won't be the last. Keep doing it.

Very Good.....Thanks....

Excellent episode. I'm glad you were able to get the whole show in before being shut down. I have seen other shows recorded there. This must be a new ridiculous policy.

WOW!

Hi Jeff & Sarah, another great vid... ignore the trolls, the content, production values are excellent.

As I recall, from many visits there, the turtles in the pond/lake are real.

Victor Fleming is there too, Director of Gone With the Wind.

Rest in Peace to all the Departed.

Minuto 6:55 Rudolph Valentino. El más famoso, querido y recordado. El eterno Valentino.

if you ever wanted to look up Elizabeth Short ( Black Dalhia) she is buried in a Cemetery in Oakland.

Well done!

I lived on Western.. I worked on ivar... I walked passed the cemetery every day

Douglas Fairbanks has Beautiful grave site bigger than life as he was

It's great to do videos on Cemetery tombs it's to let you not forget about people

Peter finch won the Oscar for the movie network

at the outer mausoleum corner outside...you can see Mickey Rooney's and the handsome Chris Jones of Ryans Daughter. Chris, played the shell shocked soldier...he died 2014...He left acting due to depression over the death of Sharon Tate. He had relationships with ladies of course and dad of 5. I adored him. PS....Steve McQueen was to attend Sharon's party that day because his hair stylist Jay Sebring invited him...but a pretty brunette changed his plans...so that day could have been the death of Steve to. Nice videos Jeff

Cool 👍

Don adams also done the voice for the cartoon inspector gadget

Good job . I'm glad you were more focused on the earlier legends as I grow to appreciate them . Take care and Happy New Year .

Woah 19:57.. Betty White just died a couple of days ago

Fatty Arbuckle was accused of rape; but it was not proven. Virginia went to the party held in Arbuckle's suite by his friends with a woman named Delmont or Dumont, complained that her stomach ached, started retching and crying in the bathroom. A doctor was summoned. She died the next day. Her companion told the DA that Virginia cried out "He's hurting me!", but her story broke down. No one knew what happened to Virginia; but peritonitis from a botched abortion was one thing suspected. Arbuckle went through three trials, and the third jury acquitted him, saying that an injustice had been done to him. Rape was not proven; but the damage was done. Arbuckle was tarred with the sins of Hollywood, and it didn't help that his frequent co-star Mabel Nornand was hounded for being the last person known to be with director William Desmond Taylor before Taylor was murdered the following week. Mabel was revealed to have the cocaine habit; Taylor's servant was gay and Taylor was living under an assumed name. A lot of dirty linen was being shown in public in the following weeks, and both Roscoe and Mabel were caught and buried under it.

This is like the Hollywood Graveyard channel here in youtube.

national Velvet I think Mickey Rooney played in that movie with Elizabeth Taylor

Anything you can see in public with your your eyes you can videotape.. It’s a conversationally protected activity..

My great uncle whom I am named after is buried here.

Babes in Arms with Judy Garland .. Mickey Rooney \

“Who’s Johnny Ramone?” You should be ashamed!! Hahaha. Great video brother

We were filming a series for NBC in the early 80s and we found ourselves having to employ "Gorilla" type filming techniques in the half-dozen celebrity filled cemeteries throughout the southland...your being told to quit, doesn't surprise me in the least.

I like the grave of Tyrone Power.Tony

Found it

couldnt videotape?,seen a lot of shows on youtube videotaping the cemetery.he probably wasnt even a security guard.great segment as always.

I doubt seriously if that wanna be cop knew what he was talking about. There are several RU-vid videos posted doing exactly what you were doing. So don't let that one rent-a-cop stop you in the future.

It is ironic that you can’t film the graves of people who became famous for being filmed.

Sad to see so many young stars having passed away but Hollywood is a ruthless business and leaves many damaged lives.

Peter Finch was the first actor to win an Oscar posthumously. Heath Ledger was the second.

Great segment and really brought back many memories. At least you didn’t get fined for not wearing a mask!😀

Unfortunately, Hollywood Forever's policy is that if you want to film there you have to get permission and pay them as well. It is quite an unscrupulous act from them profiting from the people buried there who already paid them (handsomely I'm certain) to be laid to rest there.

Mickey Rooney= It's a MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD. One of the greatest movies I have seen him in

Jeff, I think it took me about an hour to find Peter Lorrie's grave. I've been to Hollywood Forever Cemetery probably about a dozen times and only once were they complete Nazis about me taking pictures. All the other times they didn't care. The most notorious celebrity Cemetery against photography and filming is holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City. I've been kicked out of there once. Jordan The Lion and Adam The Woo have both been kicked out of there for filming. However I think Westwood Memorial Park is the best celebrity Cemetery to visit. They don't care if you take pictures or film as long as your respectful.

You two, Jeff & Sarah, have given us another wonderful episode of The History Hunters. Some of the actors and actresses you showcased, I remember well. Quite a few of them were way before my time and, I never cared much for the Silent films although, I always enjoyed watching Laurel and Hardy and, Buster Keaton. Thanks again for sharing another wonderful and informative video. Stan

Thanks jeff and Sarah for my weekly dose of American history 🙂👍🇬🇧

Can't video tape???? When they start that? Your's is about the 100th one I've seen of this cemetery.

Thanks guys, REALLY ENJOYED IT AND VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER !! ...the music, the bios, the sad and tragic stuff, you guys rock !!

Lake was the perfect Dagwood Bumstead.

There's so much to say, so I'll try to keep it short. My favorite Mickey Rooney's film is Pete's Dragon, he was really good in that film. I didn't know that two different actors that played Zorro are bury there, that's really cool. Thankyou Jeff and Sarah for making this video, Happy New Year, hope 2021 will be a great year for you guys.🙂

Mickey Rooney won an award for a TV film with Dennis Quaid called BILL, based on a true story. Highly worth a watch.

Stars of the Resting Place indeed... His Wife Abused Him, Who Hasn’t Been Abused by the Wife Haha...That was a Good Speedy Voice... That’s Hollywood for you No Video Taping LOL 👍🏻🤠🇺🇸

Hello Jeff & Sarah, when visiting Hollywood Forever Cemetery I was approached by a Security Guard, he noticed my camera and he kindly asked me about my visit. He shared to be respectful of the surroundings and made mention about the Celebrity Map. We talked about the picture taking and videoing of the Cemetery. He stated, there number one Issue is, people bringing attention to themselves, meaning the use of tripods, selfie sticks, walking the grounds doing loud narration's. Please, I'm not saying you brought attention to yourselves and you don't do loud narration's, just wanted to share my experience with the Security Guard. Happy Safe New Year to you both, Thank You for sharing the history.

Mickey Rooney was the star with Judy Garland of the "Andy Hardy" movies series. As a child star, he played "Puck" in "A Midsummer's Nights Dream" along with James Cagney, Olivia de Havalind and a long list of starts. Rooney had one of the longest careers in Hollywood in history.

Thanks again Jeff great video 🤙

yes the turtles on the rocks are real.

Great video Jeff and Sarah very interesting,

Thanks for the memory's (Mickey Rooney was in the movie it's a mad mad mad mad world)

Johnny Ramone rocked. All the members of that band died much too soon. Thanks for this fantastic trip down memory lane with all the background information on the actors and actresses interred at this park.
