Alrighty! Here we have about half of my silent film star related grave photos.
Some of these photos were taken a few years ago with a camera that I no longer use because...well, it sucks! So, some of the photos have a caption if need be.
I will upload the rest either tonight or tomorrow. If you have any questions just leave a comment!
Enjoy!

Sister Sally is in the same area in an unmarked grave. The youngest sister, Georgianna is buried in another part of the cemetery with her husband, actor Ricardo Montalban. |
I am going backwards:) It's funny how many have simple markers and then a few have huge monuments (Pickford and Fairbanks). The marker will change because they have to wait at least a year or so for the ground to settle before they can put at actual stone there.
ReplyDeleteIt always boggles my mind that a lot of the stars have simple markers, with no mention of what they did in their life. I picture huge shrines (ala Fairbanks and Jolson) for all the stars!!
DeleteAND...I did not know that about the marker. I thought it was a matter of payment, but it makes sense that you don't want to a put a huge stone on top of loose soil.
