Trivia and Quotes

Quotes
  • "To generalize on women is dangerous. To specialize in them is infinitely worse."
  • "[Valentino was] what is commonly called for want of a better name, a gentleman. In brief, Valentino`s agony was the agony of a man of relatively civilized feelings thrown into a situation of intolerable vulgarity." - H.L. Mencken
  • A man should control his life. Mine is controlling me.
  • Women are not in love with me but with the picture of me on the screen. I am merely the canvas upon which the women paint their dreams
    Trivia
  • A few months before Valentino`s death, a Chicago newspaper columnist attacked his masculinity in print, referring to him as a "pink powder puff." A lawsuit was pending when Valentino was fatally stricken. One of his last questions to his doctor was, "Well, doctor, and do I now act like a `pink powder puff`?" His doctor reportedly replied, "No, sir. You have been very brave. Braver than most."
  • A portion of Irving Boulevard in Hollywood, California, was renamed Rudolph Valentino Street in 1978.
  • At the time of his death, Valentino was severely in debt, and his heirs could not afford a burial plot for him. June Mathis, screenwriter of Rudy`s hit films The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921) and Blood and Sand (1922), graciously agreed to temporarily loan him a space in her family crypt at Hollywood Park Cemetery so he could be interred upon his body`s arrival in Los Angeles following a coast-to-coast funeral train ride from New York. Valentino`s body remains in that "borrowed" crypt, interestingly next to Mathis to this day.
  • Considered to be the first male sex symbol of the cinema during the silent era.
  • Following his untimely death, a bogus, composite photograph of Valentino ascending up to heaven was released for sale, and was snatched up by his legion of fans.
  • For many years on the anniversary of Valentino`s death, a mysterious woman, dressed all in black, was seen laying a wreath of flowers on his grave.
  • In 1923 he recorded two songs for Brunswick Records. You can hear his heavily accented voice to this day.
  • In the 1930s, Sheik Condoms, named after his most famous role, were introduced and feature Valentino`s silhouette on the packaging for years.
  • Is mentioned in the The Bangles hit song (written by Prince) "Manic Monday".
  • Was paired with Nita Naldi in four movies: Blood and Sand (1922), A Sainted Devil (1924), The Hooded Falcon (1924) and Cobra (1925).
  • Published a thin volume of sentimental poetry titled "Day Dreams" in 1923. The book sold hundreds of thousands of copies.
