Have I ever heard of anyone buried in Hollywood Forever Cemetery?

Why: We might go to another premiere of Insidious there tonight. (We went to one last night, and the film was awesome. Totes the scariest thing I've ever seen. I could not get out of my house fast enough this morning.) I have only been one time - to Día de los Muertos - and I didn't recognize a single name there. But I did do this:

(It was unseasonably warm.)

Answer: There are a few! These are on the official Interactive Site Map (and some have cenotaphs but aren't really buried there):

• Mel Blanc (1908–1989)
• Charles Chaplin Jr. (1925–1968) - son of Charlie
• Hannah Chaplin (1865–1928) - mother of Charlie
• Lana Clarkson (1962–2003) - murdered by Phil Spector
  
• Cecil B. DeMille (1881–1959)
• William C. DeMille (1878–1955) - Cecil's brother
• Douglas Fairbanks (1883–1939) - There is a building on my street named after him.
• Estelle Getty (1923–2008)
• Griffith J. Griffith (1850–1919) - as in Griffith Park
• John Huston (1906–1987)
• Don LaFontaine (1940–2008) - the "in a world" movie trailer guy :(
• Peter Lorre (1904–1964)
• Hattie McDaniel (1895–1952) - Mammy in Gone with the Wind
  
• Darren McGavin (1922–2006) - the dad in Billy Madison
• Dee Dee Ramone (1952–2002)
• Johnny Ramone (1948–2004)
• Bugsy Siegel (1906–1947)
• Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer (1927–1959)
• Norma Talmadge (1893–1957) and her sisters Natalie and Constance - I have only heard of these people because I used to live on Talmadge Street in Los Feliz
  
• Rudolph Valentino (1895–1926)
• Fay Wray (1907–2004)

and also:

• Gidget Gein (1969-2008) - one of the guys from Marilyn Manson
• Pauline Pfeiffer Hemingway (1895–1951) - wife of Ernest
  

And probably some other people whose names I either didn't notice or didn't recognize, but you know who they are - like Elmer Berger (1891–1952), inventor of the rear-view mirror.

The More You Know: Incidentally, I once made a spreadsheet about Hattie McDaniel and her family (her brother and sister were both actors) because I couldn't believe the number of times they were each credited as Mammy, Porter, or Maid. Rude! Read about her cenotaph and the horrible reason it exists here.
