Pierce Brothers Valhalla Memorial Park, near Los Angeles, was founded in 1923, and is the oldest cemetery in the San Fernando Valley. Although more closely associated with the aviation industry than entertainment, Valhalla contains the graves of many well-known and legendary entertainers and celebrities, including comedian Oliver Hardy, professional wrestler Gorgeous George, boxing champion Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom, stuntman Yakima Canutt, Lassie trainer Rudd Weatherwax, Broadway producer George White, and actresses Mae Clarke, Gail Russell, Lita Grey, Mae Murray and Aneta Corsaut. This book provides a detailed guide to find their final resting places, along with personal and professional biographies. Valhalla also contains the Portal of the Folded Wings memorial, museum and shrine to aviation pioneers, sometimes referred to as "The Arlington of the Air."
