Ah, OK... I'm sure I put this marker down in some haste. I thought you were referring to the grave itself. I moved the marker.

When I did this article for the Italian magazine I shot over 400 graves in 6 or 7 cemeteries over the course of a few weeks. Some locations I had to visit several times because you can't just walk right into private gardens, etc. Jean Harlow's sanctuary, for example is private, is down stairs and watched on a video camera. So while I could drive right up to this grave I might not be so particular about plotting things on a map. I could however do a pretty decent on the spot tour. It became rather intuitive. The Bette Davis thing was right on the deadline (sorry :)) I was asked if I thought I could find it in a rush. I said it was going to be in one of two places and as it turned out I drove straight to it. Forest Lawn won't tell you anything unless you can prove a relationship, at least that was my experience. Hollywood Forever actually will sell you a map (back then they gave them away.)

Sorry for the confusion.

The house with the white roof is now gone -- if you view this on Google Earth and hit the older satelite image timeline, you can see the house, then in a newer photo its a big dirt-covered space. Then a lawn. The pool is still there, though.

Intersection of SW Lewis Clark Way and Park Place. One of my favorite houses in the neighborhood.

Narrow gauge? It looks like a narrow tunnel. I wonder where the opposite end is? The placemarker has this just west of gully, like it was spur heading off in some other direction. Follow the gully southeast a little and it stops immediately like there might be another tunnel...? Scroll SE a little further and there's a bare, grass-covered gully with what looks like a tunnel entrance.

The opposite end of the tunnel is about 6400 feet east. As far as I know it isn't covered over, or even restricted -- its an open hole. Kind of amazing since most tunnels like this are blocked over with fences or metalwork.

This is cool. Most of these are fenced off, or have a metal wall over the entrances with a locked access door in the middle. This segment here is about 400 feet long.

Wrong side of the mountain. You can't see it from Forest Lawn. :(

Would it make more sense to have the name Walter Lantz in addition to the voice&creatorWoody Woodpecker* wording in the title?

Did that gravel area used to be a railroad bed?

Is that Rodeo Drive? The marker is in the wrong location. You put it in a residential area.

ragemanchoo82 My name is Ryan, I live in Portland, Oregon and travel around the northwest fairly frequently, camera in tow. I took some of these with my first digital camera, hence the grainyness and small image size. Most memory cards were terrible in 2000.
