Forest Lawn Cemetery

Let’s discuss. In the true Hollywood tradition of fakery and untruth, the famous cemetery of Glendale California 1) has no forest and 2) has a lawn that would otherwise be a desert without the artificial watering from the diverted waters of the Colorado River.

Here are some things I bet you didn’t know.

“Forest Lawn-Glendale has been home to a world-recognized collection of art and architecture since 1906”

Honey, we don’t have anything better to do this weekend. The beach is so blah. Want to drive out to Forest Lawn and check the rare and beautiful artwork?

Oh, yea.

·         “Exact replicas of Michelangelo's greatest works such as David,Moses, and La Pieta

·         Leonardo da Vinci's immortal Last Supper re-created in brilliant stained glass; two of the world's largest paintings

·         The Crucifixion and The Resurrection

·         Original bronze and marble statuary, rare coins, valuable 13th century stained glass, old world architecture”

Hey, there is a Johnny Carson sculpture sitting at a desk with Ed McMahon. Over there is a new installation. Yes, it is Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson. Isn’t that lovely?

Where are Eddie Fisher and Michael Todd?
