For years , every time we so much as touch a toe out of state , I ’ve put cemeteries on our travel travel guidebook . From garden - like expanse to overgrown kicking hills , whether they ’re the final resting places of the well - known but not that important or the significant but not that well - get laid , I love them all . After realizing that there are a lot of taphophiles ( cemetery and/or tombstone enthusiasts ) out there , I ’m finally putting my archive of interesting tombstones to good use .
As one of theThree Stooges , you might think that Larry Fine ’s final resting place would be enceinte than life . In reality , though , Fine ’s downplay mausoleum berth suits the unassuming comedian to a T. Though Larry was illustrious for being one - third of the Stooges ’ slapstick style and general buffoonery , in real biography , his ally enunciate he was easy , consonant , and generous to a error , giving away enough of his luck that he had just a few hundred dollar in his bank invoice when he moved into an industry retirement home .
Prior to a debilitating stroke that paralyzed the left side of his body in 1970 , Larry resided in Hollywood ’s famous Knickerbocker Hotel . Though he moved into Motion Picture Country Home and was confined to a wheelchair after his stroke , Larry certainly was n’t sitting around doing macrame or resting restfully in bed . Not only did he stay interfering by mouth at area high school and entertain his fellow residents , he also started write his memoirs and encounter with a constant current of devotee that require a opportunity to chat with their hero — youngsters Kevin Spacey and Bob Saget among them .
Larry suffered several more CVA , and was finally fell by one on January 24 , 1975 . Should you want to pay your respects to the frizzy - hairy Stooge , you could obtain him at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery alongside his vaudevillian married woman , Mabel , and other Hollywood legends such as Gummo Marx and Chico Marx , Dorothy Dandridge , George Burns , Jimmy Stewart , Clara Bow , and more ( many many more ) .
