The dead celbs are alreday there. Hollywood Forever is the fiunal resting place to lots of the old icons. Kind of weird though, a buddy of mine who told me about it told me about seeing some chick crying over James Dean's tomb, and other kind of little things like that with people who just can't seem to let go. But then I guess that's not any weirder than someone getting way to into island styles,wait on second thought it is. Thos e people are freaks!!!

Here's a link to Hollywood Forever, final resting place to Marylin Monroe, James Dean, and many more:

I think this sounds cool, do they do them monthly all year long or just during the summertime? And not to nit pick but isn't Marylin Monroe at Westwood Memorial Park?

I just found out about this thing myself and thought I would pass it on. A couple of friends of mine have gone a few times and told me it's a really cool event. I believe it's going on in the cemetery during the summer, I don't know what other venues are used.

Hollywood Forever, located on Santa Monica and Gower behind the Paramount lot, is the final resting place for literally zillions of showbiz people, including Cecil B. DeMille, Tyrone Power, Marion Davies, John Huston, Rudolph Valentino and Bugsy Siegel.

The new owners of the cemetery started a summer film series a couple of years ago, which includes an annual tribute to Valentino. They were recently profiled in "The Young and the Dead," an HBO documentary that is now out on video.
