Activity Overview
The Hollywood Forever Cemetery has many of the founding fathers and brightest stars of the American movie industry buried within its grounds. Those who have been laid to rest here include legendary figures such as Douglas Fairbanks, Cecil B. DeMille and Jayne Mansfield and rock star Johnny Ramone. As if all those big names were not a good enough reason to pay the Cemetery a visit Cinespia now organizes film screenings of classic movies out on the lawn of this historic L.A location.
Things to Do
- Take your place on the Fairbanks Lawn as DJs play music to get the crowd warmed up at Cinespia. You can bring blankets, pillows and low chairs to get comfortable while you picnic amongst fine company; some of the greatest stars in Hollywood's history. Set under the open evening sky the crowd will hush once the movie begins. When it is done the music starts all over again.
