    It was kinda strange but of all the graves I've been to in the past couple of days...Marilyn's had the most energy. I'm sure a lot of the energy I was feeling was from the fact that so many people still go there and pay their respects. I don;t know...it's hard to explain.

    That is truly the greatest cemetary.
    It is like reading a Hollywood history book.
    I'd love someone to publish a guide to that place with backstories and details.

    That place blows my mind every time. Must visit soon

    I then proceed on and found Natalie Wood and Robert Conte. I gotta go back with a directory. That place is like a who's who in Hollywood. Producers, writers, all kinds of behind the scenes people.

    And then there are the graves from the early 1900s. Those are cool too!!! I saw one marker that just read, Baby Henry. I had to stop an give Baby Henry a moment of silence.

    Anyhow...that was my trip to the cemetery today.
    so cool!!!~ i would love to visit there~ i have never been to cali, but want to very badly~ it is on the list of places to possibly go next year for our vaca & westwood is definitely one of the places i want to visit~ it is fabulous you saw marilyns crypt, but i am just as fascinated & jealous about you getting to see natalie woods, i adore her~

    that is a beautiful picture of her, thanx for sharing, she looks almost surreal, since she was gone before i was born, she seems so fantasy like~

    those pictures make me sad. i also get disturbed by some of the talk i have heard about people "banging" marilyn and such. no, i didnt know her, she died way before i was born, but its still so sad how her life played out.

    I think it's awesome you're able to visit these cemeteries that I've read so much about. How sweet of you to give Baby Henry a moment, what kind of energy did you feel from Marilyn's grave? sucks security drove up, c'mon, give people a break.

    That would be cool seeing Shoeless Joes final spot. The best I have near me is Rudy Vallee...I doubt anyone even knows him anymore.
    The survival of everyone on board depends on just one thing: finding someone on board who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner.

    Great pictures Danny. I'm assuming that Joe picked out that place for her? If so, I wonder what drew him to that cemetery and that particular spot?

    I think at the time Westwood wasn't very well known and he wanted to put her in a place that wasn't well known. Of course once Marilyn got put there it became the place to be buried!!!

    Well, the closest thing I have to a celebrity packed cemetery would be Mount Auburn Cemetery, about a mile from my house, if that. Many local celebrities with graves going back nearly 200 years. One of the first places to be called a cemetery in the US. Also the first to really plan things with landscaping considerations. Truly a beautiful cemetery. I was there in May when my boyfriend's grandmother passed away. I was shocked to find out she was to be buried there, as that's not the easiest cemetery to get into these days (family plot). Anyway, here's a link to the wiki entry, which seems to have an accurate listing of some of the more notable people buried there:

    These pictures are excellent, I've never seen them before. Thanks for sharing! And Ethel, I'd like to see her too. I'm sure there are a lot of people here who would, which makes us all morbid. But we already knew that, didn't we?

    Now Merv Griffin is buried there. My husband & I went the day after the funeral. he is around the corner of the new building close to Eric Douglas (Michael's brother). Also walk into the section where the water fountains are & check out the walls. Brian Keith and his daughter are there along with just a small plague that says something about a guy with a great voice. It's Charlie the Tuna from the commercials. I can't remember his real name. Findagrave is excellent if you type in a name like Don Knotts and click below on Westwood, an entire roster will pop up including Frank Zappa (unmarked) and last time i visited was in August. I've heard the empty spot between the chapel and the water garden will be a temple to Liz Taylor. that she has already purchased the land but not built the building.

    [SIZE=2]"Allan Whitey Snyer did her makeup for years and was responsible to do her make up for the last time. A flask of gin was required to help him carry out the promise he had made in jest many years earlier. Marilyn gave him a gold money clip from Tiffany's inscribed with: "Whitey Dear, While I'm still warm, Marilyn." to remind him of his promise. Long time hairdresser to Marilyn, Agnes Flanagan, did her hair. Due to the damage that the autopsy had caused, Agnes had to find a wig similar to the style Marilyn wore in her last movie."[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=5]S[/SIZE]ince her hair was in such poor shape, WHITEY SNYDER decided to use the wig that MARILYN wore throughout the film[SIZE=3] THE MISFiTS[/SIZE] for her final appearance. JOAN GREENSON, the daughter of MARILYN'S psychiatrist recalled looking up from the aisle in the chapel right before they closed the casket and seeing , "a shock of blonde hair...." as the lid was closed.

    Nayzo, I'm in your neck of the woods! My daughter's class just did a class trip to Mount Auburn last week, and she was born at Mt. Auburn Hospital.

    It's truly beautiful and lots of plant and tree enthusiasts go there to admire the specimens there.

    Cheers,
    Amy

    They do and I couldn't believe how many people touch and kiss her headstone. There is a bench in front of her headstone from her fans put there years ago and both the stone bench and her headstone are much darker than any other on the wall. People leave pennies and flowers not only in the flower nook but below on the ground. Last I heard, this is the 2nd headstone for her.

    Shoeless Joe- I was an extra in '8 Men Out' and got to see D.B. Sweeny as Shoeless Joe.
    Christopher George-always a fan of his. Anyone else see the Italian Zombie film he was in?

    Believe it or not I try to make my posts with some sort of useful information. For years I spent lots of time seeing who is dead and how they died and this REALLY fasinates me!!!

    I try to add a couple of threads a day on people that have died that we may not know about. Alot of people had no Idea the biker guy "leatherman" from the original "Village People" died.

    I also have a ton of old hollywood type books.

    I have never really had death hags to really discuss this with. I think its time for a break though...I am running out of useful material. LOL

    I actually got lucky and came across those pic's last week. I spent like 20 minutes staring at that casket thinking that Marilyn Monroe was going to be put in it!!!

    Try findagrave.com and click on the "by cemetary" choice on how to search.
    I do that when I take trips to see if I want to visit "anyone".
    And I really want to go to California!! I am so jealous!!

    I visited Marilyn's grave back on Marilyn's birthday, on June 1st, with some other friends. It was wonderful experience being their. It was a very peaceful moment being their. I actually knelt down and started to pray. I mean just being their was a dream come true, for any Marilyn fan.
