Hollywood Forever Cemetery to host 10th annual Day of the Dead celebration

On Saturday, Day of the Dead festivities offer the opportunity to visit a Los Angeles landmark decked out for a celebration that’s even older than the graves of film stars Jayne Mansfield and Rudolph Valentino, who are buried on the 120-year-old site. The event is in its 10th year at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery and features food, film, art, live music and an altar-decorating contest.
