Loose Dirt: Trivia, Quotes and Marginalia


Six Feet from the Stars!

 

 Most visitors to Hollywood have heard of the popular Map to the Stars' Homes.  Now one of the most unique tour guides offers an alternative.  The company Grave Concerns is marketing the Original Map to the Stars' Bones, the first printed guide to the final resting places of nearly 400 legendary celebrities.  

For $10, the map offers a giant full-color, two-sided, fold-out map, featuring the seven biggest star-studded Hollywood cemeteries and detailed freeway directions and diagrams to all locations.  The listings also contain historical, biographical and credit information going back to the earliest days of silent movies.  The company says the map is the only visual guide of its kind and takes you within six feet of hundreds of the most important stars of the century.  To stay up to date, the company's Web site www.graveconcerns.com  (tell'em Grinny sentcha!) features a "Late Additions" section to offer current information on the new permanent residents to the "City of the Angels."
