Oddly enough, another star of TV's "Bonanza" is also buried here, "Ben Cartwright" himself, Lorne Greene (1915-1987). He is the one of the few stars at Hillside who is buried outside, in an actual grave (rather than above-ground, in a crypt or tomb).

To find Lorne's grave, when you're facing Michael Landon's room, just walk to your right (south) and follow the sidewalk along the back side of the mausoleum. You will find a grassy strip of lawn & graves behind the mausoleum (to your left). Lorne Greene's headstone is located near the center of this green lawn, it reads:

One of the most recent celebrities buried at Hillside is singer/actress Dinah Shore (1916-1994). Dinah was best known as a charming personality on her long-running TV talk show, but she also starred opposite Danny Kaye in his first movie, 1944's "Up in Arms."

You can find her crypt (V-147) in the Court of Books (Isaiah), just a few steps away from Lorne Greene's grave. When facing Lorne's grave, simply turn around and walk towards the wall of crypts; Dinah's tomb is located one row up from the bottom, two spaces to the right of the stained-glass doors leading into a courtyard.

Also on this same wall, in between Dinah and Michael Landon, in a bottom row crypt (V-136), is noted author Irving Wallace (1916-1990), who sold over 250 million copies of 16 novels, many of which were made into movies, including "The Man," "The Chapman Report," "The Prize" and "The Seven Minutes."

A little farther along the wall (between Michael Landon and Irving Wallace) is the wall crypt of Max Factor (1887-1938), the most famous makeup artist in Hollywood, and his equally famous son of the same name, Max Factor Jr. (1904-1996), founders of Max Factor cosmetics. Their  Max Factor Museum in Hollywood (housed in their original Art Deco salon) was closed the same year Max Jr. died, but the historic building is now home to the new Hollywood History Museum.

Also on the same wall, just above eye-level, is the crypt of Hall of Famer Hammerin' Hank Greenberg (1911-1986), one of baseball's all-time greats. A lifelong Detroit Tiger, Greenberg led the majors in home runs for three years, led the league in RBI for three years, and was twice named the AL's Most Valuable Player (MVP).

He appeared in four World Series, slugged 58 home runs in 1938 (just short of Babe Ruth's record), and scored 144 runs that same year. He hit .348 and drove in 183 RBI in 1937. In the middle of a pennant race, he refused to play on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement - but his team went on to win the pennant, and Hank hit a home run in that year's World Series.

Nearby is producer/actor Sheldon Leonard (1907-1997), in lawn grave 6-1000-B, who started out as a coin-flipping tough guy in the movies. You may remember him as 'Nick the Bartender' in the Christmas classic "It's a Wonderful Life," or as a gambling mobster in "Guys & Dolls") But he found his real success as a TV producer, giving and us memorable shows such as "I Spy," "The Dick Van Dyke Show," "The Andy Griffith Show," and "Gomer Pyle, USMC."

You'll find Sheldon Leonard's grave on the grass here, just four spaces to the right of Lorne Greene. But you may not immediately recognize it. It reads "Bershad" across the top, not "Leonard.." Sheldon's name is located on the marker, but is in small letters down in the lower left corner. (See the photo)

Another minor star buried nearby is Selma Diamond (1920-1985), who you may remember as the gravelly-voiced 'Selma Hacker' in the popular sitcom "Night Court." She was also a major comedy writer in her time. You'll find her in the Courts of the Book, Jacob-I-4004.

To the left of Dinah Shore's crypt, you'll notice a doorway leading into an interior courtyard. Walk through this doorway, go past an interior hallway, and turn left at the first outside corner. On the wall of crypts there to your left, you'll find Selma's crypt five spaces to the right of the corner and four spaces up from the bottom. (You'll be facing the same direction as when you are looking at Lorne Greene's grave.)

Back in the mausoleum, in the Columbarium of Hope, #513, you'll find the ashes of funnyman Allan Sherman (1924-1973) whose best-known recording was "Camp Granada" ("Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah...")

From Jack Benny's crypt, just turn around and walk away from Jack, and turn right at the first small room you come to. Allan's niche is on the back wall, in the row immediately above the box of white pebbles, and four spaces to the right of that box. (See the photo.)

For three decades, TV viewers heard that line at the end of many of their favorite game shows.

Out near the road, just outside the main front doors of the mausoleum, is the large brown marble sarcophagus of producer Mark Goodson (1915-1992), half of the famous Mark Goodson/Bill Todman Productions, who gave us a long list of popular TV game shows such as "The Price Is Right," "The Match Game," "Family Feud," "Concentration," "Beat the Clock," "To Tell The Truth," "What's My Line," and "I've Got A Secret."

Also in the mausoleum (but a bit more difficult to find) is famed television producer Aaron Spelling (1923-2006) He ruled the airwaves during the 1970's and 80's and beyond, giving us such classic shows as "Dynasty," "Charlie's Angels," "The Love Boat," "Fantasy Island," "Hart to Hart", "Hotel", "Starsky & Hutch", and more recently "Beverly Hills 90210" (which starred his daughter, Tori Spelling, as 'Donna'), "Melrose Place," "Twin Peaks," "Charmed" and "7th Heaven".

He holds the Guinness Book World Record for being the "Most Prolific TV Drama Producer", with over 3,842 hours of television production.

Given this TV empire, it's not surprising that In 1991, Aaron Spelling built a mansion on Mapleton Drive in Beverly Hills that exceeded anything you might see on Dynasty. The home spread out over 56,000 square-feet, boasting 123 rooms. It cost $47 million to build, and was listed in 2006 for $150 million.

Like Jack Benny and Mark Goodson, he is buried in a large, marble sarcophagus (but this one is gray, not brown). From inside the main entrance, turn left (the opposite direction from Jack Benny), walk to the end of the hall, turn right and walk to the end of the hall, turn left again and you'll find his crypt right next to doors leading to the outside.
