Photo-finish Friday: hello, goodbye
Goodbye today to another bunch of "neighbors." This is the celebrity cemetery in Westwood. Here you will find the last resting place of Natalie Wood, Mel Torme, Roy Orbison, Donna Reed, Burt Lancaster, George C. Scott, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Billy Wilder, Peggy Lee, Truman Capote, and many others. My favorite grave marker is Rodney Dangerfield's, which says, "There Goes the Neighborhood."
Directly across the way in the photo above are rows of crypts where Marilyn Monroe is interred. Hers is the one besmudged with almost 50 years of people's touches and kisses. This normally tranquil location is right off busy Wilshire Boulevard, and right behind an equally busy branch of the LA Public Library. Go here for a virtual tour. . .
Photo-finish Friday is the bright idea of Leah Utas over at The Goat's Lunch Pail.

ReplyDeleteI guess cemetaries do make good neighbors. I've always found them peaceful
ReplyDeleteI need to visit this some day. I didn't make it there the last time I was in L.A. (which was as a freshman in high school!).
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to read all the grave markers for the stars' words of wisdom, if any, that they would have liked to pass on to the living.
ReplyDeletePere Lachaise in Paris is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteCarumba! I could spend hours visiting.
ReplyDeleteA place I'd LOVE to visit. It looks such a tranquil resting place. It's amazing how a bit of sunshine can transform a graveyard into a happy, cheery place. Nice shot, Ron!
