"The Stars of Hollywood Forever" represents the first comprehensive compilation of early contributors to the growth and development of Los Angeles; film industry personalities; musicians and; a handful of gangsters to be interred at this legendary cemetery. The book and free insert includes over 1,000 notables who are documented in this groundbreaking work of research.
Tony Luke Scott spent three years going over every inch of the cemetery, looking at miles of microfilm, searching through library reference materials, reading numerous biographies and spending untold hours going through cemetery records to compile this book. In addition, he found locations of several people whose graves are not marked and even discovered a few people buried there whose location records are no where to be found. And others who were once at Hollywood Forever, but later moved to other locations.
This high quality paperback lists names, birth/death dates & locations, location of grave, biographical info, award nominations & wins and a few scandals.
Included are a number of the silent screen's biggest names: Rudolph Valentino, Agnes Ayres, Renee Adoree, Douglas Fairbanks, Dorothy Phillips, Allen Holubar, Constance Talmadge, Norma Talmadge and more.
Stars of the 1930s and 1940s: Marion Davies, Paul Muni, Eleanor Powell, Leo Gordon, Arthur Lake, Erich Korngold, Adolph Menjou and many more.
Other greats of the screen and stage can also be found at Hollywood Forever: Barbara La Marr, William Desmond Taylor, Mildred Harris (Charlie Chaplin's first wife), John Pringle (John Gilbert's father), William Gable (Clark Gable's father), Cecil B. DeMille and family, Harry Cohn and family, Nelson Eddy, Charles Middleton, Karl Dane, Horace Carpenter, Hans Salter, Victor Young, Franz Waxman, Clifton Webb, Maude Fealy and hundreds more!

"THE BOOK READER"
Spring/Summer 2002
"An important part of America will always be Hollywood, the dream factory not that far from a reality elevated by hope. Tony Scott asks a question: where are the folks associated with Hollywood buried? This oversized book provides a who's-who of Hollywood, with names, birthdates, deathdates, where they are buried, with short biographies.
From the obscure to the famous, from wonderful slices of forgotten Americans to still-honored names, this is a fascinating and historically relevant collection of names, glories, sadnesses, dates, facts and figures and reveries of other places, other times. Almost 1000 folks here.
Exhaustive. And very wonderful. In short, a gem."
