Westwood Memorial

I was near UCLA this morning getting my teeth cleaned and afterwards stopped by the tiny Westwood Memorial Cemetary, where dozens of famous Hollywood stars are buried. I’ve wanted to visit it for years and the endless rains that we’ve been having here seemed appropriate. It’s actually really hard to find, surrounded by walls with only one entrance tucked in among high rise office buildings and condos and ironically situated right behind a big multiplex cinema. Probably most people in the theater have no idea they’re a few hundred feet away from Marilyn Monroe’s grave. It’s a nice little cemetary and worth a visit if you’re in the area. Just wandering around you see all kinds of familiar names such as Truman Capote, Peggy Lee, Dorothy Stratten and dozens more.
