Hollywood Endings
Visit the Hollywood Forever Cemetery Next to Paramount Studios
Hollywood legends may seem larger than life, but we all have to kick the bucket at some point. Still, the Hollywood Forever cemetery keeps legends’ spirits alive among 62 acres of green lawns, palm trees, landscaped gardens, and large, reflecting pools.
Adjacent to Paramount Studios and with views of the Hollywood sign, this cemetery is home to Tinseltown titans like Cecil B. DeMille and Rudolph Valentino. Impressive crypts and headstones show a flair for the creative. Musician Johnny Ramone’s long-haired bronze statue poses mid-guitar-riff near the Garden of Legend, the cemetery’s small lake with a Grecian mausoleum on its center island.
A respite by day, Hollywood Forever also hosts a variety of cultural events including movie screenings on the white marble walls of one of the mausoleums and concerts amidst the tombs. It is home to the largest Dia de Los Muertos in the country. Hollywood Forever knows how to come alive.
