点评:Hollywood Forever Cemetery describes itself as "a cemetery unlike any other in the world." That boastful statement is debatable. But it has some truth to it. Located at 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood, California, it was founded in 1899 and is one of the oldest cemeteries in the Los Angeles area. Pay $35 and take a 2 1/2-hour guided tour and see for yourself. Surely, Hollywood Forever has as many famous celebrities as Forest Lawn or Pierce Brothers, as many as any cemetery west of Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC. Obtain a map that lists the location of most of the notable grave sites. It is one of the most beautiful cemeteries you will ever visit. Peacocks roam the grounds freely. The architecture and fountains are gorgeous. Paramount Studios were constructed on the south end of the cemetery. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. So who are the most famous personalities buried at Hollywood Forever? Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Cecil B. DeMille, Rudolph Valentino, Tyrone Power, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Marion Davies, Jayne Mansfield, Valerie Harper, Fay Wray, Clifton Webb, Hattie McDaniel, Nelson Eddy, Janet Gaynor, Peter Lorre, Mel Blanc and Bugsy Siegel.
