Grave Photos II







His grave is all the way at the top so it was hard to get a good picture. Sorry for it being lopsided!





Claudia Dell was a Ziegfeld Girl and rumored to be the original model for the Columbia Pictures logo.

Jenny and Rosie Dolly aka The Dolly Sisters. You aren't allowed to take pictures (or really even walk around in) the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn, but they were right in the hall! So, this is my sneaky pic.


The last Ziegfeld Girl


Margarita Fischer. Her niche is at the top of the wall in a very dark hallway, so this was the best I could do picture wise.





Mildred Harris. Her crypt is kinda high up so getting the picture was hard for my camera.


Bud (born Merle) was Merna's older brother who she toured with in a dancing group early in her career. I am not sure how or when he died. 







Louella Parsons, the Queen of the Movies (gossip wise) Her grave was very hard to read, let alone take a picture of.

The grave of Mary, Lottie, and Jack Pickford as well as their mother, Charlotte Smith.



Dorothy Sebastian. Her marker was covered in dirt and I didn't have anything to clean it with, hence the terrible photo.

Final resting place of Norma and Constance Talmadge as well as there mother Margaret and father Frederick (I don't know why). And of course, the shrew, Natalie.

Wife of director Rex Ingram. I am not sure why they aren't buried together. 


Lee Toy Wong is Anna May Wong's mother. Anna May's ashes are interred on the ride side and her sister Mary's (Lulu)  ashes interred on the left.

Grave Photos I

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!

First wife of Rudolph Valentino





Older sister of Fred Astaire and his first real singing and dancing partner.


Wallace Beery





Mother of Charlie Chaplin. She is buried right next to Marion Davies interestingly enough.



Grave of Maurice, Mae, Dolores, and Helene Costello. Helene is the only one without a marker.


Bebe Daniels' urn. Again, blame my camera.


Director William Desmond-Taylor. Buried under his birth name.

Beatrice Dominguez

Mary Eaton

HUGE grave of Douglas Fairbanks Sr/Jr.

Carla Laemmle, who only passed away a few months ago. Hope she gets a better marker soon.

Loretta Young is buried in the same plot as her mother, Gladys Belzer. Sister Polly Ann is buried next to her under her married name "Hermann." 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.
