Seeing the Jimmy Stewart simple grave marker was truly humbling. It further witnesses what a humble, genuine man he was, and that his priorities were far beyond this life. Thanks again guys for putting this together !

There is the grave of a very famous male English film star of the 40s onward, in Highgate Cemetery. He was also a noted Shakespearean actor. He has a sandstone slab laid in the ground. On it is etched two words, his name. No dates, nothing just that. Short of nothing at all, how much more humble can you get than that.

I cried when you said that Ted Knight served so young and was one of the first troops in Berlin. He was very humble about it. I also thought of today's youth and I wonder if they'd be up to the effort...then I remembered our current military. Thanks again for what you're doing.

I think it was when Elvis was drafted it was the last time a Hollywood celebrity went into the service with any note of the event.

Jimmy Stewart has no mention of his Military service, very simple, very humble. A Great American.

He was a hero.As an English woman,born after the war,I very much appreciate American forces,for their help,and involvement in ridding the World of the aggressors.Jimmy Stewart was based in England,flying bombers,over enemy territory.Without men and women,like him,I dread to think what would have become of the world.

Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda were good friends. But had different political views. One day, they had a very ugly fight over politics. And they never discussed politics again.

Love the humility of Mr. Stewart's grave.

Jimmy Stewart had a humble gravesite compared to most other big actors! He was a great actor! "The Man from Laramie" was one of my favorites.

I think the gravesite reflects the humbleness of the man himself. I think it’s a rare thing for someone who had such a successful career in Hollywood to maintain his down to earth qualities. I think Jimmy Stewart was salt of the earth.

Jeff, what a great vlog!! You are a natural narrator and you bring such respect to the memory of those you share. I also appreciate the way you bring clips of so many that I've never seen (or in some cases have never heard of before). Keep up the great work - I never miss a time to watch you. Blessings always.

Thank you, Jeff! Your cemetery tours are the best; you keep the camera on the grave stone and read what it says which is very much appreciated. I especially enjoyed the Ethel Waters presentation and the Semple Mc Pherson one also. Something was off with her; the Lord knows. Thank you again for your videos; I enjoy them all and God bless you! …..🌝

Jimmy Stewart was always one of my favorite actors. Came across a Tonight Show appearance after he had retired where Johnny asking what he was doing to keep busy, Jimmy looked at him and said, " well I'm practicing getting to where I talk......... Faster. The place just erupted with laughter and applause! Now think of that in Jimmy Stewart's voice and you'll see why it was so hilarious. The man's timing was as brilliant as ever 😆

I remember the first time I was at this cemetery. I was about 6 or 7 years old. I was terrified because I thought the marble statue of a child was actually a dead child who had been encased in marble. There was a woman sitting on a blanket by a grave, she had a book and a picnic basket and we learned that she was there daily sitting at the grave of her late husband. She would talk to him and sometimes read aloud from a book. Your videos are my favorite. I wish they could be movie length.

Louis Lamour was my Grandpa's favorite all time Western hero. I have two of his books out of the all of the Louis Lamour books that my grandpa had, Great Vlog as always Jeff!

Excellent, coherent presentation. Thank you.

J e f f, I enjoyed your episode today and thank you for sharing the wonderful lives of these famous people. I had the privilege of knowing James Stewart, I met him in 1984. He was with his wife Gloria at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn Michigan, and was staring at the plane that he had donated that was a replica of lindberg's plane for which was used in his movie about Lindbergh's life. I gave him a tour in 1992 at the Henry Ford museum with his grandchildren and children. He was a very nice man and I had the privilege of knowing h i m. I hope one of these days I'll be able to go out to the cemetery to visit him and his wife Gloria's grave. Great show thank you for sharing.

My favorite SundaySaturday show! Thank you for another great episode. All the time you put into creating these is much appreciated by those of us watching. 🙂

She inspires me to this day! What an amazing woman and servant of God!

I remember seeing Richard Dix in "The Lost Squadron" on TCM...good performance. I loved Jimmy Stewart's performance in Liberty Valance...especially the "steak" scene. The graves of Aimee Temple McPherson and Joe E. Brown are impressive. My favorite Joe E. Brown film is " Some Like It Hot". Thank you for showing all the beautiful statues. I remember seeing Jean Hersholdt in "The Grand Hotel". What a tragic end to Susie Eklund...so young. My favorite Robert Young movie is "The Mortal Storm". I loved all the gaffes that Ted Knight made as Ted Baxter. He was highly entertaining. As a Christian, I enjoyed hearing Ethel Waters' testimony. It goes to show one how Jesus so transforms lives. 😇

A few years ago, I gained appreciation of Joe E. Brown when I caught a series of his early films from the 1930's. Elmer the Great 1933, and Earthworm Tractors 1936 just to name a few. Good fun.

Glad you continued touring Forest Lawn. I had no idea of all the stars of the past that are buried there. I knew there were many but not who. Hats off to your research and professionalism.

Great video Jeff....my mother was born in 1929 in Laredo Texas she remembers seeing Tom Mix ride his horse in the Washington Day parade...she also saw Gene Autry ride his horse in the parade too.

I'm surprised Jimmy Stewart's grave marker doesn't show any acknowledgement of his impressive war record. He finished his military career as a highly decorated Brigadier General after WW2.

What a wonderful episode here! Thanks so very much for remembering the old greats!

WOW! very nice. I have to say that James Stewart in "Rear Window" is my favorite. Once I was able to go into one of the court yards next to the freedom mausoleum, someone had left the door open. It was a treat to walk in there.

Well done, Jeff! I have many, many movies of Jimmy Stewart dating back to the time of "It's A Wonderful Life", one of my very favorite Christmas movies. I just loved the Westerns he was in as well. I had the honor of meeting his co-star Julia Adams at a book signing in Hollywood about 12 years ago. Early 2010s. I asked her what it was like working with Jimmy Stewart on the Western "Bend of the River". She noted he was such a gentleman to work with and well respected by all on the movie set. That's my tie in with actor Jimmy Stewart. One of the last movies I have of him was "Airport '77". Robert Young, tons of movies in the 1940s onward. TV show, "Father Knows Best" predated "Marcus Welby, MD." Loved those. Ted Knight also had a role in the 1960 movie, "Psycho". He played a police officer when the police captured Norman Bates and brought him in on suspicion of murder. In the 1980s, he also did the TV show "Too Close For Comfort". One of my favorite comedians. He was comic gold in "Caddyshack". 27:19, I just bought the TV series "Hart To Hart" today, May 11th, 2024. What a great guy and TV show.

There is a lot of history in cemeteries...Thank you...I always learn something from you videos...Thank you for your knowledge and research..Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers out there.

Best episode yet!! I learned so much about Hollywood that I never knew. Most surprising was Joe E. Brown's tribute to himself and the Eklund Sisters; so tragic. Keep up the good work!!

I enjoyed the entire show. My Aunt had a favorite story about how she had never been a Joe E. Brown fan until after she saw him on Broadway. After the show he sat on the stage and answered questions and talked with the audience. She was very impressed with him after that! I enjoyed seeing Louis L’amour’s grave. Guys were surprised to find I had read pretty much all of his books from my older brother’s collection. I loved them! My favorites were anything with the Sacketts in it! Thank you for the great storytelling!

Another great vlog by History Hunters. Jeff, I learn more California history from you - it truly humbles me. As a side note, I was surprised to see Ethel Waters grave since segregation was such a thing in the past. I remember her from an episode of Route 66.
