Oh for the days when Hollywood had glamour. Norma Desmond was right: WE HAD FACES THEN! i've often wondered "what if" the young callous William Holden character had been instead, a young Steven Speilburg. He's have had all of Norma's memorabilia from her film career scattered across that floor (where she and Valentino had tangoed), and Steven would have been picking Norma's brain for all the details of her career---all the time planning a movie about her life. If only!! Great website. Oh for the days when Hollywood had

I bought the movies that are available for sale. I will also buy the photo book you are working on whenever comes out. I am interested too in the 2010 calendar. I agree he was a wonderful actor, very handsome and so far I think there is no other one in Hollywood with the carisma he had. He had something very special that made him so unique. I read that The Four Horses of the Apocalypsis movie is in restoration. Could it be posible that I receive an email when is ready and available por purchase? I will be very thankful.

The camera loved him and he loved the camera. He truly had "it" and I do believe he would have gone on to even greater heights in his career had he lived longer. I think his smile was mesmerizing and his eyes were weapons...He was a man with a boy near the surface, eager to have free rein to live life to the fullest. I only wish he could have lived to find true love and have the children he wanted so much. I think it was tragic that the greatest lover in films could not receive love in return. I hope he rests in peace and perhaps knows that even after 80 years, he is still much admired and loved by old and new fans alike. Good luck with your book and I hope to purchase a copy when available. The pictures of him with out slicked back hair are unbelievable. He would be an "idol" in this era.

I'm looking for other information. I graduated from Sacred Heart HS, Yonkers, NY 1956. We have current addresses for all our classmates except Jan Lucas. His mother Cecilia Lucas (haven't yet located her maiden name) was a body guard for Rudolph. I wondering if by any chance you have a current address for her, her husband Carl or or son, Jan. Would certainly appreciate any information that you might have. Thank you kindly So many interesting facets regarding Rudolph Valentino. I’m looking for other information.

I am obsessed, and i can't help it. I need an escape from the reality of life. I get very depressed, and i always need something to get me a littl excited. So, i enjoy Rudy very much. I wish i could have met him. Maybe he knows about how his charm has reached through the generations. I hope so. There are many videos about him on youtube. Some people put together some really cool videos, like tribute videos, about Rudy on youtube or elsewhere. But, i love his face, his hands, his body. Just what a dream he is. Of course, this is all just a fantasy, but i don't care. It's want i need to get me through this life. He is the Ultimate Sweet Escape !!! debbie I adore Valentino.
