Description
Interior view of the Sanctuary of Benediction at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale. Directly at the end of the sanctuary may be seen the iron doors which are closed, protecting the remains of Irving Thalberg. To the left of the iron doors, may be seen the "Statue of Curiosity", which enshrouds the private room for the remains of Jean Harlow, donated by William Powell at a cost of $25,000. The third cript from the bottom in the first tier of the third section from the entrance of the sanctuary, lie the remains of Marie Dressler. The remains of Alex Pantages lie in the second tier in the first section of the sanctuary from the front.
