Dead in Hollywood: Behind the Sign is a true-crime vlog on Youtube (Be sure to subscribe!). Episode 1 was an experiment as you will see. But I had a lot of fun making it and I think it’s a nice overview of Dead in Hollywood and the story of Peg Entwistle, the only person ever to have committed suicide by jumping off the letter ‘H’ of the Hollywood Sign. Join us this Friday for RIVER PHOENIX DIED HERE (EPISODE 7).
You saw the movie! Now get the zine! Dead in Hollywood: Here Lies... Ramon Novarro (Issue no. 28) - The Unauthorized Guide to Calvary Cemetery & Mortuary. Coming Soon. And if you haven’t watched the movie, CLICK HERE!
On the evening of October 30, 1968, two young hustlers rang the doorbell at 3110 Laurel Canyon Drive in the Hollywood Hills. A 69-year-old man greeted them in a red and blue robe. Once upon a time in Hollywoodland, the man was one of the greatest Latin heartthrobs. Now frail, and looking like a "Spanish grandee," the man invited the hustlers inside - "a burly young man of 22 and a slender twink of 17--his murderers." By morning, the man would be dead, badly beaten, and having choked to death on his own blood.
Forty-five years ago, on February 12, 1976, "Rebel Without a Cause" actor Sal Mineo was murdered outside his carport in West Hollywood, CA. Go behind the sign to the alleyway where the Switchblade Kid met his match. I hope you guys enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed making it. Like and Subscribe to my Youtube channel!
