“The Stars of Hollywood Forever - A Who's Who Guide to Hollywood's Final Resting Place" represents a comprehensive compilation of early contributors to the growth and development of Los Angeles; film industry personalities; musicians and; a handful of gangsters - all interred at this legendary cemetery.
T.L. Scott worked for a number of years going over every inch of the cemetery, looking at miles of microfilm, searching through library reference materials, reading numerous biographies and spending untold hours going through cemetery records to compile this book. In addition, he found locations of several people whose graves are not marked and even discovered a few people buried there whose location records are no where to be found and, others who were once at Hollywood Forever, but later moved to other locations.
