Quick note about Bob Relf's death date: his marker is actually incorrect, he died November 2007. Not sure why the marker says 2008.

@mjstbnsn that's an intriguing thought! It's possible that some of those in Evergreen's indigent graves may have experienced success. In other graveyard tours, Arthur highlighted people who were successful, but were either laid to rest in pauper's graves, or only had 3 or 4 attendees at their funerals.

Some of my ancestors didn't know when or where they were born, and church records get lost due to fires, floods, and wars. Some of the surnames of ancestors are not even known because people didn't know how to read and write. This is one of the reasons why genealogy is so interesting.

Those kids on Little Rascals had deplorable living conditions. They received little or no pay. These were not good times for their childhoods. As adults, they hardly had any resemblance of success.

Thank you for the dignity given to the ones that were considered "below us" all those years ago. It just makes me shake my head in sadness over how cruel man can be. You mentioned that movies have been filmed in this cemetery. One of those movies is the final scene of 1985's "Mask" starring Cher. A scene that is entirely made up as the real life Rocky Dennis' body was donated to science. Also, And though not a celebrity, in the 442 Infantry section, one should read the story of Ted T. Tanouye. What he did was absolutely amazing and deserves to be known (hint, he was one notch below Audie Murphy). A truly fascinating cemetery for the history it contains.

I'm going to sound like a huge douche but as a History major from Ole Miss I can say that these tours are amazing (not that anyone needs a degree to say that). Great camera work, in depth history but you know exactly when to shut it off and move on. You're doing everything right dude! Keep it up!

We honored the dead by doing the right thing for them.

While I knew most of the celebrities or at least their works, the most interesting person to me today was George Ralphs. When I was stationed in San Diego, Ralphs was my favorite grocery store. Thank you for including people who aren't necessarily celebrities in the normal sense of the world.

Louise Beavers--Holiday Inn, she is just wonderful.

You do an outstanding job! So glad I found your channel. Thanks for remembering Matthew Beard. Stymie was one of the best-loved characters in the Our Gang/Little Rascals series. Matthew went through a dark period of drug addiction, but beat it and went on to resurrect his career. His smile was unmistakable. I remember watching an episode of “Sanford and Son” and seeing a character break into a smile. I immediately screamed excitedly, “It’s Stymie! Omigosh, it’s Stymie!” Keep up the good work!

I like the fact you dont just talk about actors or singers

I'm late today because you posted on a Tuesday & I had to work LOL. Wow, this was awesome!! A lot of Black entertainers, perfect for Black history month! And I love that you highlighted the memorial to Japanese Americans today since it is Remembrance Day (February 19th). It's truly a dark mark for us in our country's history, one of many. It's important to remember all of the things that happened so we can move on TOGETHER as a society & better ourselves. I love how you remember all of those things in your videos instead of just the bright, happy, shiny parts of Hollywood. Well done, Mr. Dark!

And thank YOU for adding some context to Remembrance Day. I like hearing anecdotes and different personal perspectives on major historical events. It's far too easy to separate oneself from the reason for these days of remembrance, so for me, hearing from people from said country, or people touched by said event, makes it feel more "real" to me........if that makes any sense.

If I worked in that cemetery, I could really put my heart into maintaining the grounds.

Mr. Dark, thank you for including information in the graveyard profiles about how American racism played a role in how people were laid to rest. It would be very easy to not include that information, but it says a lot that you choose to include that truth. It speaks to how much racism has influenced American life, and it gives a greater context and appreciation for each graveyard.

When I was in college in OC we took a trip here to see the 442 memorial. For a city as diverse as LA, it's unbelievable how segregated it was. And yes, we also learned about the infamous speak easy. It's a must see.

Nice work Arthur as usual, really interesting cemetery, love the Showmans Rest the best but Rochester & Stymie are on top of the list too along with Frank Braxton. The Lankersheim and Van Nuys graves are so historic beyond words. It's so cool that the homeless and nobody's can be interred here along with celebrities in the City of Angels. 🍺

The history behind each individual that has past has me glued to my screen. Great job doing research on each person man. I just realized that LA has alot of grave yards.

I really enjoy your videos. My favorite movie that has Eddie (Rochester) Anderson in is "Topper Returns" but I also love "Cabin in the Sky" where Eddie stars opposite of Ethel Waters. What wonderful talent and entertainment is seen in that movie. I wish your carnival and circus graves would have included an equestrian (I am an equestrian). Not too far from my home is the town of Delavan Wisconsin. There are many graves of circus performers in the Delavan graveyard including some equestrians. Gary

Hi Arthur, that is AWESOME that Laurel gave Stymie his first bowler hat. And he is buried with it. Great narration has always. It's so detailed and it makes me go back in time just hearing how you describe people. Great job, thank you for all your hard work and dedication to entertain us!

Love your videos! They are so well made and just perfect imo. Keep it up Arthur!

Even if you did go to these cemeteries, you’d probably just walk by the grave and not realize it was actually someone who was prominent at one time…I’ve actually went to a couple of the cemeteries he did videos on and remember walking past a couple of the graves but not thinking anything of them because I had no idea who they where…

Excellent show. Crazy how they used the graveyard building as a speakeasy 👻. Did I read the stone correctly for the circus “fat lady” (Emilie Bailey) she lived to be 99? That’s incredible if so.

Such a beautiful Actress! Jaunita Moore !! Thanks for adding her.. glad I popped in to watch... wonder if it’s on TMC TODAY being Mothers Day!... A Mother’s love knows no bounds!

Outstanding work once again HG, most of these folks I have never heard of until now after watching your videos I feel somewhat smarter and find myself everytime I drive past a graveyard now, I actually live in Los Angeles, wondering when I look at them as I drive past who's graves i'm seeing. I feel like I should go visit some of these cemetery's now as well...

I believe Rochester was also one of the original Harlem Globe Trotters. Also a very charitable man, as were many that were involved in the Jack Benny Programs, including the man himself (He must have just rolled over in his grave! I hope his vault is still guarded lol). A great man!

Who else keeps another window open so you can look up the cause of death when it's not mentioned?

These videos NEVER disappoint! I always save them for a time where I can sit down, relax, learn, and enjoy! Thank you for all your great, hard work!

Thanks Mr. Dark for showcasing African Americans and Chinese Americans true history of racism encountered back in the day! Just one blooper when citing Robert Relf year of his death. Your graveyard tours are the best. Professional and classy!!

Your dedication to bring the departed, whether super famous or barely famous, back into the limelight is inspiring. I've been fascinated with cemeteries and graveyards since I was a kid. Like you did, I thoroughly enjoy just walking through them. So peaceful and quiet. I often look for old and abandoned sites just to see how long they've been there. After watching a plethora of your vlogs, I so badly want to visit LA and New York and visit some if my own Hollywood childhood idols.
