The Douglas Fairbanks (Sr. and Jr.) memorial at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
Anyone remotely interested in Los Angeles cemeteries knows about Hollywood Forever, final resting place to the cream of Hollywood royalty crop, from movie stars to founding fathers.
Established in 1899, the former Hollywood Memorial Park was in receivership, on the verge of permanent closure back in 1998, until the Cassity family acquired it through public auction and began breathing new life into the property. Today, it's a stunning memorial park, one of the nicest around.
Unfortunately, all that rehabilitation that might be in jeopardy, according to growing reports of scandalous financial problems within the Forever Network, resulting in the removal of the Cassitys from H4E property say sources. Say it ain't so! Maybe the ghost of former H4E owner/crook Jules Roth is causing havoc from the great beyond.
