Final Curtain a book for those who loved and love the movies

In reading Final Curtain I found myself back in the Hollywood of yesteryear with those famous names and people who made HOLLYWOOD and its movies great. I enjoyed the book immensely,Final Curtain is not just a book about death and gravestones, but about the people who gave and used their various talents to entertain.

A DELIGHTFUL VIEW OF HOLLYWOOD FROM THE BOTTOM UP!!

This book takes you on a wild ride around Hollywood from a most unusual vantage point...underground! Informa- tive, compelling and highly entertain ing, Hudson and Burk bring you amid the funny, the melancholy, and, always captivating lives and deaths of those who have made Tinseltown famous. Our tour brings us to the many large cemetaries in southern California. We are consumed by not only our fond memories of these greater than life legacies, but, by the stone monuments they had left behind. From through the eyes of experienced tour guides, we are brought past these icons, filling our heads with a part of the Hollywood image we never knew. After viewing these haunting images of our own fates, we realize too, that now, we are all much wealthier than any person we had the pleasure of meeting throughout each of our visits to them!
