FINAL COUNTDOWN: THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN GIRL (Episode 1)

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 β€˜H’ of the Hollywood Sign. Join us this Friday for RIVER PHOENIX DIED HERE (EPISODE 7).

DEATHIVERSARY: PEG ENTWISTLE (Sept 16, 1932)

THIS IS WHERE I DIE...

I’ve spent 20 years photographing β€œdeath locations” in and around Los Angeles - from the gates of Cielo Drive to the charred remnants of Paramount Ranch in the mountains above Malibu. Dead in Hollywood: This Is Where I Die (Issue #20) will delve deep in the photo archives for never before seen photos of the actual locations where some of the most iconic Hollywood stars died! It’s the next best thing to being there in person! I’ll be sharing these photos on this site over the next month. Want to see a fanzine come alive before your very eyes?!?! Stay in and stay tuned! And stay safe!
