Happy St. Patrick’s Day! While this is not a St. Patrick’s Day special, per se, many of the stars featured in this video are of Irish descent. Who are some of your favorite Irish stars?
-
Bob Hope bought me and our singer a drink in a Orlando hotel bar in the eighties and talked to me for our entire break. He seemed like great person and that is a night I will never forget.
-
I am from San Fernando Calif, my brother is married to Richie Valens niece. San Fernando Mission is Beautiful.. 💚
-
Ritchie Valens, 17 years old. What a tragic loss.
-
I 💗Ritchie! His mom was buried beside him when she died of cancer.
-
A year after Bob Hope died I was working customer service for MCI. I took a call from the wife of a writer for Bob Hope. During our conversation, she told me he'd leave messages on her husband's voicemail trying out new jokes, which she now has the tapes safely secured. She also says he was not 100 years old, but 102. Back in the day when starting in show business several actors would fudge their age. Interesting tidbit.

Fun story: I read scripts for production companies in the 1990’s. One day I was headed up an elevator on Wilshire Blvd in the Beverly Hills area. A man got in the elevator and I was SURE I knew his face but couldn’t place him for the life of me. As he got out it hit me. My face lit up when I realized who he was as he stepped out and said, “Got you.” It was Bob Hope. Genius.
-
Awww. Ritchie Valens, now there was a tragedy poor lad. Really pleased you visited his grave. 👍
-
My father is buried right across Ritchie Valens. Their best one yet!
-
Bob Hope was a wonderful, very charitable, and generous man. He cared very much about our troops. I have a lot of respect for him. Thank you for allowing me to pay my respects to him through this video. I truly appreciate all of your hard work.
-
I spent many an afternoon with Bob Hope as my wife was his personal secretary for some years before his passing. I feel very honored to have gotten to know him and personally Thank him for his dedication to our troops in the military. He provided me with a copy of my favorite Bob Hope movie, "Ghost Breakers."
-
As a kid, the Bob Hope movies came on tv on Saturdays. My parents would stop whatever they were doing to watch them. I would sit in the floor and crack up. His quick whit and humor in the face of danger made a huge impression on me.
-
I remember Bob Hope's joke about his friend who was REALLY rich "He invested in General Electric back when it was General Candle."
-
I just wish a cable channel would buy your series and pay you BIG bucks to make these episodes. They’re WONDERFUL!!! I love every single one of them.
-
Ritchie Valens really has a beautiful gravemarker. It's sweet that he shares it with his mother, too. An incredible musician taken waaay too soon. =( I'm curious if you've featured Yvette Vickers ("Attack of the Giant Leeches," "Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman" and "Hud"). She had one of the most depressing endings I can think of; being found in her house about a year after she had died. =(

18:34 always loved how Chuck Connors would look at you like “ yea that just happened” lol
-
R.I.P. Ritchie 😢 I was named after his song Donna...
-
Rest In Peace Ritchie Valens. May 13, 1941- February 3, 1959
-
I liked when you visited Ritchie Valens. He was one of my favorite singers. I liked all his songs. It's so sad he died so young. It would have been great if he was in the movie Coco like other musicians. Rest in peace Ritchie Valens you will never be forgotten.

Thank you so much for this! My grandmother is also buried at the Mission; she was never famous, but she loved meeting celebrities and I think it would please her to know she was among such good company. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that William Frawley was buried here as well! I am a huge fan of I Love Lucy, and to think he was there all that time. I will have to pay him a visit next time I visit my Nana's grave. Thank you again for this informative piece of San Fernando history!
