Edmund Gwenn Actor from "Miracle on 34th Street 1947" Memorial Ceremony & Inurnment
Today Myself along with @mrs909official had the pleasure of attending the ceremony and inurnment of Miracle on 34th Street 1947 Actor Edmund Gwenn. Edmund Gwenn plays the part of Kris Kringle or "Santa Claus". Edmund Gwenn transformed himself to play the part, he had studied all the Santas that had came before him including the Santa Claus that Coca Cola was using in their adds. He then began the transformation by growing a beard as white as snow and even put on 30 pounds to fill the red suit just like the Santa from all those Coca Cola adds and the Santa Claus we all know today was born.
Edmund Gwenn had won an Oscar in 1948 for Best Supporting Actor for Miracle on 34th Street.
Edmund Gwenn Had passed away in 1959 from Pneumonia after suffering a stroke. He was cremated and placed in a vault where he was lost for 64 years until he was found in 2023 by Jessica Whal and Arthur Dark of Hollywood Graveyard.
Since dawning the red suit in 1947, Edmund Gwenn set the standard for the modern day Santa Claus. A standard that still hold up today and im sure will continue for years to come.
Shout out to Arthur Dark of @HollywoodGraveyard and Jessica Whal for all that they have done to see to it that Santa got a new home and was home just in time for Christmas.
