1. What performer of 'The Star Spangled Banner' is buried in Renton, Washington?

Answer: Jimi Hendrix

The revolutionary guitarist (November 27, 1942 - September 18, 1970) played the US National Anthem at the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival in August 1969.
2. Charlie Chaplin was 'kidnapped' after he died. Where was he buried?

Answer: Corsier-Sur-Vevey, Switzerland

Chaplin's remains were stolen in March 1978 from the small cemetery. A ransom note was sent to his widow, Oona O'Neill Chaplin for $600,000.00. The grave robbers were arrested and one of the two men served four years in jail. Charlie (April 16, 1889 - December 25, 1977) was re-interred in the same cemetery, this time in a sealed concrete vault.
3. The Super Bowl Trophy is named in his honor. Where is Vince Lombardi calling plays these days?

Answer: Middletown Township, New Jersey

Lombardi (June 11, 1913 - September 3, 1970) coached the Green Bay Packers from 1959 to 1967. The Packers won 98 games, lost 30, and tied four games during that period. The Packers under Lombardi won five National Football League championships and the first two Super Bowls. Vince returned to coaching with the Washington Redskins in 1969, taking them to their first winning season in 14 years.

He was diagnosed with intestinal cancer and passed away at 57. He was buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Middle Township, New Jersey.
4. Ava Gardner died of a stroke.

Answer: False

Ava Gardner (December 24, 1922 - January 25, 1990) suffered a stroke in 1989 but died of pneumonia a year later. The sultry Ava was a popular actress of the fifties and sixties. She made more than sixty movies including 'The Sun Also Rises' (1957) and 'Mogambo' (1953). She is interred in Smithfield, North Carolina.
5. As Simon and Garfunkel once asked, where has Joe DiMaggio gone?

Answer: Colma, California

DiMaggio (November 14, 1914 - March 8, 1999) played for the New York Yankees baseball team for 13 seasons. He still has the Major League Baseball record of a base hit in 56 consecutive games, which was set in 1941. Marilyn Monroe's former husband died of a lung infection at 84.
6. Audie Murphy, the most decorated soldier in World War II is not buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Answer: False

Murphy (June 20, 1924 - May 28, 1971) won 28 medals in World War two including the Medal of Honor. He made 44 films, mostly in the Western or Military genres. His most notable film was 'To Hell and Back' (1955); Audie played himself in that autobiographical movie.

He died in a plane crash; he was not the pilot as originally reported. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia very near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers.
7. The author of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest', Ken Kesey, was the founder of the 'Merry Pranksters'. This was documented in Tom Wolfe's book 'The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test'. What finally ended Kesey's life?

Answer: Complications after cancer surgery.

Kesey (September 17, 1935 - November 10, 2001) died after surgery to remove a spot of cancer on his liver. His tye-died coffin is buried at his home near Eugene, Oregon. The 'Merry Pranksters' were originally fans of the Grateful Dead. In 1964 Kesey and a group of people took a Day-Glo painted bus and a lot of LSD across country...this trip was immortalized in Wolfe's book.
8. Buried in Hollywood, California...how did Benjamin Siegel die?

Answer: Shot while reading a newspaper.

Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel (February 28, 1906 - June 20, 1947) was shot five times as he read the newspaper in his girlfriend's house. Siegel was a friend and partner of Meyer Lansky and was a racketeer on the West Coast of the US. Siegel built the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada and after many large cost overruns he was killed.

It is speculated that his partners believed he was stealing money.
9. Nancy Spungeon, Sid Vicious' girlfriend, died at twenty years old. Where is she interred?

Answer: Bensalem, Pennsylvania

Vicious (May 10, 1957 - February 2, 1979) of the Sex Pistols was arrested for the murder of Spungeon (February 27, 1958 - October 12, 1978), after she was discovered dead of a knife wound to the abdomen. Vicious was soon released on bail. After a fight in a disco, he was put into a seven-week heroin rehab program.

The day he was released from a detoxification unit, he jumped right back into his addiction and overdosed. Vicious was dead less than four months after Nancy. His ashes were reportedly spread over Nancy's grave at the King David Cemetery in suburban Philadelphia.

This is probably not true.
10. Salvador Dali is buried in a museum.

Answer: True

Dali (May 11, 1904 - January 23,1989) is entombed in the basement of his own museum, Teatro Museo Dali, in Figueras, Spain...about a 90-minute drive from Barcelona.
