I'll forgive you for making assumptions. When my mum was a little girl, she acted in a huge amount plays, both with school and then with local theater groups. It was her childhood dream to go to Hollywood and be a movie star. Well, she did pretty well for herself, and ended up in Playa Del Rey. When it came time to choose her final resting place, she chose
Hollywood Forever, as that was where many stars of her day were buried. She is a few paces from Cecil B DeMille.
Sadly, the cemetery nearly went bankrupt at one point. To solve their financial woes, one of the things they did was start offering
movie screenings during the summer, as well as big dia de los muertos
celebrations.
The photo I posted is of some friends of mine goofing around after a summer screening of
Valley Girl. I was not there, and my photos with Johnny's likeness are a bit more tasteful. If you have any interest in Hollywood lore and history, I suggest you click on the links in this post, or do a Google search on the cemetery. It's pretty fascinating.
