My lovely wife is buried at Pacific View Cemetery. I go there every week with fresh flowers and I do a prayer walk around the entire perimeter of the Cemetery.

The girl who died tragically while speeding in a Porsche was Nikki Catsouras. I always pass Nikki's grave on my prayer walk.

And very close to Nikki is the crypt of a famous actress that you didn't notice:

Jeanne Carmen,
Known as the queen of the B movies, a personal friend of Marilyn Monroe, a mistress of Frank Sinatra and Johnny Rosselli, and she was also a trick golfer.

Lamont, I'm sure you won't see this comment, but if you do, thank you so much for this video. My mother, who passed almost a year ago now on 2-28-24, absolutely LOVED John Wayne. We put on display at her funeral visitation some JW movies on VHS and other memorabilia of him that mom had. She loved Rio Bravo and Sons of Katie Elder, to just name a couple. I was 7 years old when he passed and remember it like yesterday because mom woke me up reading me the newspaper article announcing his death. Thank you again for the great video and for all that you do.❤

My dad’s cousin was married to John Wayne’s daughter. Jennifer Wayne, the granddaughter of John Wayne is a country music singer. She’s a member of Runaway June.

My brother and I travelled from Antrim/Belfast in Northern Ireland just to visit the grave. Although at the time you had to hunt for it, as the family still insisted that the office staff should not point in which direction. However after begging the lady office worker and explaining how far we had travelled she didn't tell me the exact location, but did point me in the right direction. Whist approaching the grave, we had noticed a visitor, so we stood back.
It was his daughter Marisa.. When she got into their car we slowly approached. Marisa waved. It was a day I cannot and will not forget. I am the fan and admirer. Why! Whilst in London in the making of the movie Brannigan, I had the opportunity to say hello, I was Private Chauffeur/ Driver at the time. I thank Mr Wayne for the memories and movie entertainment through all the years until now 2024. Huge collection (not cheap tack) and had a huge window engraved/sand blasted. R.I.P Mr Wayne. Thank you for the memories. (Ireland)

Actually, John Wayne's final film was The Shootist (1976). Wayne had been diagnosed with stomach cancer and would pass away about three years later. Wayne was rather controversial at times, so his grave remained unmarked for nearly two decades, because his surviving family was afraid that his grave would be desecrated.

The movie he played a "cancer stricken gunslinger" his last role, was The Shootist. The movie he played Rooster Cogburn, with the eyepatch was True Grit.

As famous as John Wayne was, he has such an unassuming grave. Thanks for the video, Lamont.

My dad was a huge fan of John Wayne back in the day. Love the baby picture of him. He had a big head lol.

[ronniewatkins]

Thank you for doing this one, Pilgrim! You are one for those of us who will never get to visit these places. Stay safe out there brother, and God bless!

Like Frank Sinatra, John Wayne is laid to rest among the common folks.

[danielbass]

Hey Lamont! The last film role, which you described rather accurately, was The Shootist. True Grit was 1969 for which he won an Oscar.
Keep up the great work my man!

[shanepoole]

It’s humbling to see such a person under a stone marker in 6 feet of ground. In the end we are all equal huh.
