6000 Santa Monica Blvd.

Leaving the Farmers Market, turn right onto Fairfax, going back the way you came for a while. You'll be driving straight toward the Hollywood Hills and since everyone always seems to be interested in house prices, the big, round-shaped, white house up on the hill almost straight ahead has the only-in-Hollywood address of 1 Electra Court. It's a 9,204-square-foot house with 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, valued at $3.7 million in August, 2011.

Turn right onto Santa Monica Blvd. Hollywood Forever is on the right a few blocks past Vine Street.

Formerly called Hollywood Memorial Park, the cemetery is the last resting place of many of Hollywood's early stars, from Darla Hood of the Little Rascals to legendary director Cecil B. DeMille. It also boasts a nice view of the Hollywood sign from the entrance.

The florist shop near the entrance gate has maps that will show you where the celebrities' graves are located.
