Great video Jeff. I really remember Walter Brennan in the TV Series..."The Real McCoys" where he played the role of "Grandpa". Of course we watched it live as a first run every week since there was no such thing as a "re-run". Oh, and isn't Bob and Delores Hope buried at the San Fernando Mission Cemetery near where you were? I think you could have been there for days and days and still run across many in the entertainment industry. Thanks again Jeff. ......Russell D.

If you drive along the 23 freeway between LA ave off ramp and Madeira rd off ramp look off to the west and you’ll see a barn with a windsock and a runway. That was Brennan’s home and he flew his bi plane right off that runway. Still there today.

Bob and Delores are indeed buried on the Mission side of the preoperty (maintained but not owned by the cemetery). It's a beautiful, private area with many familiy plots, including their long time housekeeper! You enter it through the mission ($).

Walter Brennan was a wonderful character that earned him either 2 or 3 Oscars. We watched the Real McCoys regularly so even as a kid I learned to love him too. My Grandmother would often say that he could put his shoes under her bed any old time. Didn’t know what she meant at first but eventually figured it out. Shame on Grandma!

I've always been fascinated by cemeteries. You can find an interesting story in every one of them. Very well done, Jeff. Thank you.

Yay ! 😀 Ritchie Valens, I ❤️ Ritchie, imagine just how great he would of become if he had of lived. He accomplished so much in such a short time. I remember a lot of these people, great find. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺

Walter Brennan as grandpa NcCoy in The Real Mc Coys on television was a favorite of mine. Thank you for showing his place of rest.

Always fascinating. Nice tribute to them. Knew most all of those names, but had forgotten them. Thanks for a respectful trip to the graves of them.

God Bless and Rest In Peace Walter Brennan. This man was amazing. A great actor along-side John Wayne in several movies. Thank you Mr Brennan for the great memories and laughs.

LOTS of great memories! I grew up watching, and still love to watch old westerns and remember Walter Brennan well. I actually remember him the best from "The Real McCoys" TV show. The Rifleman was a fave as well. Chuck Connors was also a professional baseball and basketball player. Great video!

Awesome a new video 😊

Thank you, Jeff and Co. for producing another awesome, informative video. Many of those who you featured on this episode were stars I knew well from their shows I saw growing-up, especially Chuck Connors. Me and my brothers got to meet him in the fall of 1967 or 68 when he came to pheasant hunt on my grandparents ranch in Oakdale. Their neighbor Bud provided horses to Hollywood for shows and movies and knew Chuck. He asked permission for him to hunt on their property- it was well-known as prime pheasant land back then. When they finished their hunt, Chuck bought us boys a pony and he and Bud walked her (beauty) over and gave her to us. I was about 10 then and brothers were younger- so you can imagine our eyes and mouths open wide while in the presence of the Rifleman, whose show was well-know to us, mostly in reruns.

Walter Brennan, one of my favorite actors. He earned 3 Best Supporting Actor oscars. Up until the early 40's movie extras could also vote and he was popular among his fellow actors. That led to a rules change. He was in the Three Stooges short 'Women Haters'; unique in that all the dialog was in rhyme. Too many great roles in so many great movies. Really enjoyed this one as usual.

I remember watching the Blondie movies on Saturday with my Mom in the mid 1960’s I believe it was on KBHK 44 in the mid 1960’s then Roller Derby with the Bay Area Bombers and wrestling Ray Stevens , Haystack Calhoun. Good memories thanks for stirring them up Jeff. BTW I’d do Donald Duck imitation’s years ago and I remember I took a gal out on a date in the middle of dinner old Donald started talking she laughed so hard I was afraid she was going to choke.

Great video, brought back so many memories of watching those wonderful actors through my childhood. The one that hits the most though is Richie Valens, such a young promising artist, who happened to pass away along with the Bopper and Buddy at the same hour and day I was born, the day the music died.

Walter Brennan was an amazing supporting actor in so many movies. His unique persona was such a compliment to so many legends like John Wayne. One of my very favorite was The Far Country in which he starred alongside Jimmy Stewart. What a personality.

Jeff ,I'm old enough to remember the majority of these Stars you have visited today! Thanks for all the research you do for your videos and including he relavant clips for the stars! Especially poinyant Is the " Day the Music Died"! My late partner and I were teens when Buddy, Richey and The Booper perished in that awful plane crash! " Oh Donna " has followed me my lifetime after that song hit the charts! I could introduce myself and invariably someone would start singing Oh Donna ! "True Love Ways" our favorIte also now brings the tears flowing when I hear it or play my BUDDY HOLLY GREATEST HITS ALBUM! My late Beloved was raised in San Diego so I do love that you include the scenery as you drive and visiting the places in California that he visited in his years there! He traveled up and down the state of CA in his summers as a teen and during many years after graduation! He was a Great WONDERER! Sorry Sarah couldn't make this trip! She has such a dry wit with you! Brings along many smiles for you I'm sure! Thanks for the memories!!🥰D

This has become one of my favorite KZread channels since I found it a couple of weeks ago. Really appreciate the respect you pay to the people you visit. A couple of other graves in the San Fernando Cemetery that I have visited are actor William Bendix, and writer Richard Matheson. Matheson wrote some of the best episodes of The Twilight Zone, and has over 90 writing credits listed in IMDB. Among is short stories and novels, he also wrote the novel "I am Legend" which was the basis for the "Omega Man" movies and the "I am Legend" movie.

Absolutely exceptional episode! Thanks Jeff and Sarah!

I gotta say I will always remember Walter Brennan for his roll in the Real McCoys! He had some quirky mannerisms.... like he had a hitch in his get a long!! When he would start to walk his shoulders would go up and of course his arms would follow!! And his short temper... and as a kid I never thought much about how fast ol Chuck could fire that lever action Winchester until I owned one similar... and couldn’t figure out how he did it till I read an article on it... they welded a little tab in the right spot on the lever so when he pulled it al the way up it pulled the trigger!! I think countless wanna bees had this done... not me I am a purest if it didn’t come that way then leave it alone!! Great Job as always Jeff!! Thanks So Much!👍👍

I’m a big fan of old time radio, and he of course played Chester Reilly in The Life of Reilly, as well as movies such as Wake Island and The Guadalcanal Diaries. I also love Ed Begley Sr. Because he played Lt. Levenson on Richard Diamond, Private Detective with Dick Powell and he was very entertaining. Thanks again for the great stories.
