Documentary filmmakers Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini focus their lens on Tyler Cassidy, an enterprising young man from St. Louis who in 1998 purchased the iconic Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery for $375,000. Tying in disparate narrative threads about the cemetery's famous residents -- including posthumously interred African-American actress Hattie McDaniel -- Berman and Pulcini detail the park's phoenix-like reinvention under Cassidy's guidance.

Audience Member ***Due to the recent RT changes that have basically ruined my past reviews, I am mostly only giving a rating rather than a full review.*** Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw this to try and learn something about the final resting place of Cecil B. DeMille and did not learn a thing along those lines. but I did learn how the Hollywood Forever Cemetery was saved from ruin and also about the historic "woman in black" who comes to visit Rudolph Valentino's crypt every year since his death.
