McFarland & Co Inc, 2015

For over 100 years, people have been drawn to sites of tragedy involving the rich, beautiful, and notorious of Hollywood. Tourists visiting the center of the movie universe flock to Rudolph Valentino's grave, the house where Marilyn Monroe died, the “O.J. murders” condo, the hotel where John Belushi overdosed, and myriad haunted mansions. The book tells the fascinating stories and makes finding those locations simple. It is an extensively-researched update to E.J. Fleming's first Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites book, published in 2000. Seventeen driving tours include over 650 sites relating to celebrity deaths and scandals. Each tour covers a specific area from Hollywood and the Sunset Strip to Brentwood and Malibu, covering the entire L.A. basin. There are concise, easy-to-follow, directions to each location (over 150 photos help pinpoint the sites) and the fascinating real story behind each stop. Mildly curious? Wildly morbid? Whatever your style, turn to this book - and you'll soon be turning some of Hollywood's darkest corners.
