Visiting The Famous Gravesites Of HOGAN'S HEROES TV Show Cast Members

Today, I take another nostalic and historic memory lane road trip to the cemetery. In this episode, I visit the famous gravesites of cast members from the 1960s and '1970s classic TV sitcom HOGAN'S HEROES.

My grave site tours today include:

Bob Crane (Colonel Robert Hogan), Westwood Village Memorial Park, Los Angeles, CA
Sigrid Valdis (Frauline Hilda), Westwood Village Memorial Park, Los Angeles, CA
Richard Dawson (Corporal Peter Newkirk), Westwood Village Memorial Park, Los Angeles, CA
Howard Caine (Major Wolfgang Hochstetter), Eden Memorial Cemetery, Mission Hills, CA

I also remember the cast members who were cremeated and have no final resting places to visit and those buried out of the country: Cynthia Lynn, John Banner, Ivan Dixon, Werner Klemperer and Larry Hovis.

Main cast members who are still living include Robert Clary and Kenneth Washington.

Thanks for joining me on my travels on yet another trip to the past, down memory lane.

I remember as a very small kid my Dad watching Hogan's Heroes and absolutely howling with laughter with the antics of Sergeant Schultz and Colonel Klink! I firmly believe that John Banner and Werner Klemperer are the actors who made the show the success it was. I watched an interview with Robert Clary, and he claimed that working with those two men was a delight. I still watch Hogan's Heroes every night on ME TV.

Werner Klemperer was the son of famous German Conductor Otto Klemperer! He was half Jewish and fled Germany before the War. He only agreed to play Colonel Klink, if he was made to look a fool and never succeeded in any of his plans! I loved that show! Thanks Steve!

Thank you Hogan Heros was one of my favorites to this day

[davidhailstone]

"What is this man doing here!?" was Howard Caine's recurring line, speaking of Hogan being in Klink's office. Comedy is often lines we all know.

[intellectualgladiata]

I can just imagine Major Hochstetter saying "What is this man doing here?"

[jamesbarker]

Such a great show! Classic. Howard Caine was also a talented bluegrass musician of note.

Robert Clary (who is 94) gave a speech at our school for Yom Hashoah in 1980.

My dad use to love watching this show I remember how he would be cracking up, tfs Steve 👍🏽. Hope all is well 💞

[brockonairs]

The gravesites are very well maintained. Very interesting information I didn't know about this show.

[maryannlockwood]

So recently I was watching reruns of a 1970’s game show called tattletales. Bob Crane and his wife (that you featured) were on it and one of them made reference to the fact that he enjoyed making “HomeMovies“. Who was to know that those “movies” would apparently lead to his violent demise.🤷🏻‍♀️

I watch them every day here in central Florida. My favorite actor is John Banner. He was a leading romantic actor in Europe before coming to the states. When he came to the states he got married and gained a lot of weight. He could only get comedic roles in Hollywood. He was highly successful on broadway and most remembered for HOGAN'S HEROES. Thanks, Steve this video was an eye tearer for me. And that doesn't happen often. THANKS, MY FRIEND...MR MAGOO YOU DONE IT AGAIN.

[Tbird]

Thank you so much Steve! I still watch this show multiple times a week and it always makes me laugh! Hope your Mom is doing well. Take care!

[rattychickTishy]
