📍 America’s first male sex symbol was an Italian actor, the “Latin lover”
Rudolph Valentino was one of the greatest Hollywood actors of the 1920s, who sadly died at just 31 years of age. His early death on the one hand and the fact that he was the first mass symbol on the other made him a legend. His funeral caused mass hysteria - more than 100,000 people crowded the streets of New York, several of his female fans fainted during the day.

They couldn't handle his swag, style or beautiful olive skin, he should have been earning as much as the rest of them

[@lindseycarribean5113]

How a biopic wasn't made about this man ?! He had a tumultuous intense life. Like a certain Errol Flynn.

[@ajabrams]

There have already been at least two of them made already. One in 1951 and one in 1977.

@@migue4793 Well, exactly what I was thinking!!! I have no problem with that. They picked an 'unknown' in one of the Elvis bios.

[@winnienguyen4420]

@@Melinda8162 the 1977 version is a cult classic. It starred the greatest Ballet dancer of all time, Rudolph Nureyev, and also the famous star from Gigi, Leslie Caron. I loved that movie. Also there's the Legend of Valentino from 1972 that is also a fairly good biopic with Franco Nero, from the 1966 movie Camelot, starring as Valentino. Also as mentioned before there is of course a 1951 version which is also pretty good. If they made a new version the only famous man I know of that resembles Valentino is Cristiano Ronaldo, and being a soccer star I have no idea how well he can act or if he'd even consider it.

I love Rudolph Valentino!! I just read a AMAZING biography about him written by Evelyn Zumaya called Affairs Valentino and my god she has done a wonderful research about Rudy and that biography is the best biography I have ever read about Valentino. I can strongly recommend it. I wish you all a wonderful day and I hope you all stay safe during this times. ❤️❤️

I wonder how Valentino would have transitioned into talking films if he had lived? He sure was a handsome and sexy man ❤🖤❤

[@blancamiranda7424]

Very good looking, he was BI SEXUAL....he liked lesbians too!!!😎

[@vixtex]

He had a great voice. I think he would have made the transition.

[@winnienguyen4420]

Charles Boyer was called "the talking Valentino" at times during his roles as a continental lover throughout the 30s and 40s. They even created Pepe Le Pew based on him. So I'm thinking Valentino's talking movie career may have ended up similar.

[@marysue7165]

I heard one of the few recording of his speaking voice. His accent was VERY thick, so it would have been a challenge

[@roseroses7576]

His only known voice recording is of him singing opera and he has a beautiful voice. It really did match his looks!

[@charlotrisch5138]

Valentino was beautiful. He is legend status

[@mennakenndall]

Please more about the silent film stars,,. There must be more than we know about,,

[@SmartStart24]

I believe prejudice played a huge role in his not receiving a pay raise. He was literally the biggest male star, arguably biggest star in general, at the time and they gave him a hard time about a pay raise??? After all the money he made them?? Yeah they thought he was an “uppity” Italian immigrant who forgot his place when really he was paying all of their bills. He was the big boss. No Valentino, no smash hits. Prejudice and racism will really rot your brain.

[@gullwingstorm857]

Geez Anthony Dexter looks like him. He played SUCH a good Valentino in the fantasy biopic.

[@denebolamau6288]

Thanks to KZbin I have been able to watch several of his films. I think he was a better actor than is currently acknowledged.

My father was 1 month old when Rudolph Valentino died. My grandfather told him women mourned & wailed for 1 month.

[@leeparks15]

I don’t think he did. He had BEEN having stomach problems wayyyyy before he bought it.

[@jannepetersen4660]

That might be right, but his life was sad almost the hole way, and after putting on the ring again, he did collaps for good, but we will never know. He became a legend, but after his death his family came like voltures to rib whatever they could, but non of them took care of his beloved dog Kabar, it died sick and skinny in 1929 3 years after Rudys death. George Ulman was Rudys best friend and manager, and he was the one who helped Rudy to stop with the bad spending of money, but Rudys family hunted him for almost 30 years because they would secure that they got everything, very bad people..... They did not mourn or love Rudy, they keept his son away from him because of family honor, what ever that is. The same old story, the dead dont even get cold before the voltures arrive......

Lots of using and abusing of talents by the movie industry.

Valentino died of a ruptured appendix. Completely avoidable. If he’d had an emergency appendectomy he would have lived.

[@oldfogey4679]

No Marion he died from a perforated ulcer which appeared to be appendicitis! The syndrome to this day is known as the valentino syndrome!

[@Shazzadut1]

He did have an emergency appendectomy. That’s not what he died from. He died of peritonitis due to perforated ulcers. On August 15 he collapsed at the Hotel Ambassador in Manhattan and was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with appendicitis and gastric ulcers. He was immediately operated on. After the surgery he developed peritonitis due to perforated ulcers, which can masquerade as appendicitis. On August 18 his doctors were optimistic about his prognosis. He then developed pleuritis (pleurisy) on August 21. During the early hours of August 23 he chatted to his doctors, and his doctors realised he was going to die. He soon lapsed into a coma and died a few hours later. His condition became known as Valentino’s syndrome.

[@marionmarino1616]

@@Shazzadut1 I’m surprised by your info but I accept it. I’ve always heard all kinds of rumors - he was shot & killed by a jealous rival etc. Poor Rudy, sounds like a painful way to go. Thanks for the info.

[@Kheyphos]

Rudolph Valentino was indeed shot by a jealous husband of a young fan of him. Being brought to the hospital, he asked the medics for no scandal at all. So, the appendicitis came up as the perfect alibi, and the press took it for granted. This is true, believe it or not.

Nah. He had ulcers he was very reluctant to see a doctor about because it would mean he would have had to take a long break to recover from. Also antibiotics weren't a thing yet and that could have saved him. He absolutely would have rocked the "talkies". His accent was said to not be strong at all and he had a rich, masculine speaking voice too.

[@jannepetersen4660]

Other people connected to that horrible ring died did they not, so why should he walk free. I cant say it was the ring who got him, but he was warned even by the man who sold it to him, but he would not listen. After his death Pola Negri got the ring and had it on a short time, but she took ill and almost lost her work and fame, but she passed it on to a man who also died, so maybe was it the ring who knows..... It is a fact that he was very sick and his organs was destroyed very seriusly, so he might have died from a ruined stomach, but maybe the ring started it all....not to forget his syphilis who already had blinded his left eye totally.
