Filmed in Hi-Definition, “Dearly Departed: Vol. 1” is a feature-length documentary focusing on how and where Hollywood celebs have died throughout Hollywood history, humorously led by encyclopedic Hollywood historian Scott Michaels (E!’s “20 Most Horrifying Hollywood Murders,” Dearly Departed Tours). The film features 18 profiles, with modern-day visits to the real L.A. locations where the action went down (over 50 locations in all), as well as historical footage, photographs, death certificates and autopsy reports, all supported by meticulously researched details and interviews.
Dearly Departed is entertaining, funny, shocking, and loaded with surprising revelations that shed new light on even the most well-known stories, and bring some of the more obscure tales to the screen for the first time ever.
