I visited this place in 2004 and went to Natalie Wood's grave first. I was shocked to see that Steve McQueen's only daughter resting beside Miss Wood!! She got an Oscar nomination starring opposite McQueen in LOVE WITH A PROPER STRANGER in 1962. Also a great friend (and pallbearer) of President Reagan is buried here. Today, just learned that Farrah... more

There are many famous peope buried in this cemetery, which is small enough that you really don't need a map to find them. As the previous reviewer mentioned however, the cemetery itself is hard to locate. It literally sits in the middle of a block with buildings on all sides. Not only will you find Marilyn, but also her "Some... more

I am a huge fan of Marilyn Monroe, it was incredibly hard to find. Tricky location, even with a GPS system. You have to turn into what looks like the building parking lot.

We had tried to visit this cemetery once before on a trip to Los Angeles, but arrived after the gates closed. This time we made it in time. (Even though the website we checked said it closed at 5:00 PM. it was actually open later). It is easy to find with a GPS, but difficult without one, since it is... more

Beautiful!

This is a beautiful, serene cemetery. We stop by everytime we're in L.A.. We always visit Natalie Wood's grave. Lots of famous people buried here. I was even able to print out a map that showed whose grave was where. But you dont really need one, the place is quite small. Which makes it even better to visit. more

A VERYsmall cemetery, somewhat hard to find, but loaded with celebrities. From Marilyn Monroe to Dean Martin, from Fanny Brice to Roy Orbison, from Billy Wilder to Walter Matthau, from Beach Boy Carl Wilson to Darryl Zanuck, from Jack Lemmon to Bob Crane, from Peggy Lee to Burt Lancaster. It was well worth the time. more
