Mike
Todd's grave, April 2005. Image by Ken Durbin
The reason Mike Todd and members from his family were buried in Forest
Park, Illinois was because jews who lived in the City of Chicago back
then were not allowed to be buried in the city and were buried in Forest
Park which is not to far from the City of Chicago but back then was
mostly prairie and with poor transportation seemed to be quite a
distance away. I don't believe Mike Todd was living in Chicago at that
time but at one time he was and Family members were still living there.

Mike Todd, producer of
theater and film and third husband of Elizabeth Taylor, and second husband
of Joan Blondell was buried in Forest Park’s Jewish Beth Aaron Cemetery in
March, 1958. His widow, Miss Taylor is alleged to come every year in March
to visit his grave. Whether true or not, fresh flowers mysteriously appear
on his grave every anniversary of his death. He was buried under his
original name, Avrom Goldbogen, in one of the largest funerals Forest Park
has ever seen.
An unusual and bizarre event occurred which made national news when it was
discovered in June 1977 that the grave of Michael Todd, flamboyant showman,
had been dug up. He had been buried in the small Jewish Cemetery,
Congregation Beth Aaron. Mike Todd, at the time of his death in an air crash
on 22 March 1958 was the 3rd husband of actress Elizabeth Taylor who visited
the gravesite only a few days before the robbery. A body bag was discovered
100 yards away in the shrubbery. Dental records identified the remains
before reburial under a headstone bearing his real name Avrom Hirsch
Goldbogen.
