Roberta Haynes, who starred opposite Gary Cooper in the South Pacific-set 1953 movie Return to Paradise, is returning to Paradise. Her family are bringing her ashes back for a Memorial Service at the Resort’s Chapel by the Sea on 23rd July. Following the service, her ashes will be deposited in the Memorial Fale that sits in front of the Chapel overlooking the beach that Roberta loved so much.

As well as the Memorial Fale, Return to Paradise is also setting up a permanent display of tributes to Ms. Haynes next to the Chapel. For many years to come, people will be able to visit the chapel, hear about the life of Roberta Haynes and visit her grave.

This is probably unprecedented in Hollywood history where an Actor was so profoundly impacted by the location on a movie shoot, that they chose to come back there for their final resting place.  So in the ultimate end to the love story, Roberta Haynes is Returning to Paradise, the place she loved most in the world.
