She was great in that part. Racial discrimination was very prevalent at that time, 1938, and I'm sure she put up with much. I'll never forget her performance.

Cornell's tombstone is so unassuming.. The day found out that he had died, is a day I will never forget. When I was 20, Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger CD came out, and as soon as I bought it, it was constantly playing fullblast in my truck. With his vocals on that album, I'm sure I suffered some hearing loss ('Slaves and Bulldozers' was my jam). Thanks for taking us on a journey through that cemetery.

Hey Lamont I enjoy your videos! I love to go to old cemeteries mostly to take pictures and look for family members! I would love to go to all those places that you go to!

Long live, Chris Cornell. Greatest vocalist of all time. Soundgarden greatest band if all time. Love you, Christopher.

I visited in 2017 just to see Chris Cornell. He was the the voice of a generation. He saved me so many times if only someone could have saved him. RIP CC

I have been silently following you Lamont with you videos, and this is the first time I've seen a Samoan grave in your videos, well I'm from Auckland New Zealand, and greatly appreciate your passion.

I am a major fan of cemetaries. I got bored with Hollywood Graves, they are however interrsting. I ran across you page and absolutely love it! There is so much history one can find in a cementary! Not just of famous people, but of everyday people as well. Ilike they way you try and find out about the occupant of a grave. My parents are buried in Oak Hill Cemetary in San Jose, CA, the neighboring graves include members of the Donnor Party, Sojourner Truth, William Wallace Lincoln (Abe Lincoln's oldest son) just to name a few. I have spent hours roaming Arlington National Cementary, Gettysburg and Nacomacy Battle Grounds, and even one in Sleepy Hollow, NY where Washington Irving is buried. I enjoy reading the headstones, which I thoroughly enjoy. Thank you for sharing your videos!

Fine video. That cemetery is something. It's absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Lamont.

Wow, Lamont...I really love how you put a story to the faces on the gravestones you come across. This is a really different take on the grave visits from other Vlogers I've been following. Yours is so much more special and personal. Keep up the great work!!! Nice to see they're gone but not forgotten. Safe travels to you. Looking forward to your next stop. Signing off from San Diego.

I've been going to Hollywood Forever since I was 16 and had my first car. Now we live in Oregon. When I go down to visit my kids and friends, I still go to there to see the new graves and to put flowers on my favorites. I don't know if you knew it or not, but there is a victim of the sinking of RMS Titanic. It's actually a 'cenotaph.' His body was never recovered. When I heard his grave was there with his family members I couldn't find it. I went into the flower shop up by the guard's shack. The lady there didn't know either. So, she called the young man who helps run the, his family own it, I believe. He didn't know about it either. He went to his office and discovered his family's and his Cemetery is at there and he told me where to go. I have photos...I am very interest in RMS Titanic an was amazed by seeing the place to remember him. Great video.

Seen Soundgarden in ‘92 at the First Lolla Palooza and they were Awesome!!! And Yes, one of the best singers ever..👍🏻

I worked for a funeral home before I became disabled. I performed routine maintenance, dug graves, and worked in the crematorium. I learned a lot while working there. My boss was also my Pastor. He taught me that no matter how rich or poor a person is, our Graves will always be the same size. Thanks for the videos.

Faces and Death sounds good. Thank you for sharing it with your viewers. I once had one last day of Job vacation. And I spend it inside a cemetery reading graves. It was in the city of NYC. Trains etc... But as I walk it became silence.

You do realize that Hattie McDaniel was the first black actor to win an award she was from wichita kansas .

He went all out for others such as staying hours after his performances talking and signing autographs for his fans. Developing a charity to help disadvantaged children and their families. I have never heard or read anything negative about him. He was not a mean, rude, and hateful person as you would read about other celebrities. I don't have anything nice to say about his horrible and cancer caustic wife, Vicki. She is a narcissist and treated him horribly. He should have stayed with his first wife, Susan Silver. I understand she is an outstanding and nice person, which his wife, Vicki has none of those qualities.

Hi Lamont - really enjoy your videos and the kindness and respect you have for our dearly departed. Keep up the good work!

Very good narrating, with respect. Sad that some end their life, fighting depression or demons. Totally agree what we have, materialistic we don't take with us. Hopefully we leave memories to those around us. At 65 I Do Not want to be placed in the ground. Cremation for this Great Grandma.

What I find interesting is the size of the memorial doesn’t always represent the scope of the actor. Many of them have such understated small headstones but were amazingly large in real life. Love the videos!!!

Hey Lamont, your vids are good. No need to make them better at this stage. Nice work so far.

My dad is buried at Pacific View Memorial Park in Newport Beach. Don’t know if you’ve been there. Its most famous gravesite would be that of John Wayne. Anyway the reason I mention it because of the situation with Chris Cornell. I thought the same thing even before you mentioned it. John Wayne’s grave did not have a stone only until just a few years ago, mainly to prevent his grave from becoming a tourist site, which I must say I am happy about since I can visit my father’s grave in peace.
