There is only one Hollywood actress buried in Omaha, and she is at Forest Lawn. Anne Ramsey, who starred in “Throw Momma from the Train”, played Mama Fratelli in “The Goonies” (which, since we're in 2020, has just come out in a 4K Blu-ray that is exceptional). She was a supporting actress in “Scrooged,” my favorite version of "A Christmas Carol," as well as many other movies and television productions. Anne is buried in her family’s plot here at Forest Lawn in an unmarked grave. She died on August 11, 1988. The specifics are Section 21, Lot 97, Grave 10. Her actor-husband of 34 years, Logan Ramsey, died June 26, 2000, and I've yet to discover where he's interred at. If anyone knows, please email me. He is not here in Omaha, as far as I can tell.
