The ghostly spirits of famed actors (Rudolph Valentino, Tyrone Power, and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.) peer out from behind ornate headstones, and grand old shade trees whisper in a light breeze, as a peaceful calm prevails over the well-manicured grounds.
Of course, I am referring to - The Hollywood Forever Cemetery - the celebrated resting place for the famous (and infamous) who once danced across the boards or graced the silver screen in the golden age.
In recent years, the picturesque setting - replete with sweeping lawns and quaint meditation ponds dotted with water lillies - has become a special events venue that sell-outs weeks in advance to loyal fans of the prestigious fine arts.
On Monday July 25th, the trend continues, as Canadian actor William Shatner hosts a screening of the film:
"The Captains"
The flick stars Chris Pine, Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew, Scott Bakula, and - of course - William Shatner.
The EPIX Pictures Entertainment Presentation follows Shatner as he seeks out each of the actors who have played Captains over the life of Star Trek.
I appeared in a cameo role as a crew member in a couple of scenes of one of the big-budget feature years ago - but, alas - do not meet the criteria.
Go figure!
Meanwhile, the organizers are dangling cool prizes to reward Star Trek fans who turn up in costume.
See 'ya there!
