Hi Allan
I love your site more than anything, it’s the best thing on the internet.
Someone at Hollywood Forever told me that when they interred Douglas Fairbanks Jr they removed his father’s casket while they prepared the marble tomb. He also said the cemetery staff had opened Douglas Snr’s casket and he looked as good as the day he had been buried. Do you know if this story is true? Thanks
