MEL TORME: ONE OF AMERICA'S HOTTEST DEAD CELEBRITIES

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Mel Torme's death this past June from a stroke may have been a stroke of luck for his career. According to Steve Okin, creator of "The Original Map To The Stars' Bones," Torme's resting place is the 10th most popular celebrity grave site in Hollywood. The Torme tombstone is located at Westwood Memorial Park about 60 feet away from Marilyn Monroe -- who is ranked as the No. 1 dead celebrity based on visitor traffic to the site. Other celebs on the list include Rudolph Valentino (No. 2); Lucille Ball (No. 3); Liberace (No. 6); Jimmy Stewart (No. 8) and Dorothy Stratten (No. 9). Although Torme's close proximity to Monroe is helping his grave's popularity, he's actually receiving more traffic than Dean Martin's grave, about 20 feet away.
