Actor and dancer Dennis Stewart's career looked to be on the up when, after playing a dancer in the 1978 Beatles-inspired film Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, he landed the role of Leo, aka 'Craterface', leader of rival gang The Scorpions in Grease. He also was cast in Grease 2, the widely-panned sequel starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Maxwell Caulfield. But 12 years later the actor and dancer contracted HIV and Dennis eventually died of complications from AIDS in April 1994.

Grave Location Description

As you enter Gate 17, go to the the south side of Suncrest. Look for 126 on the curb and park at the trash can just southwest (uphill). Walk downhill to 13th row and Dennis is on the left, buried with his mother. And despite every other source saying he was cremated and scattered at sea, Dennis Stewart is truly buried here with his mother.
