Hollywood's original Latin Lover, a term that was invented for Rudolph Valentino by Hollywood moguls. Alla Nazimova's friend Natacha Rambova (nee Winifred Hudnut) became romantically involved with Rudy and they lived together in her bungalow from 1921 (during the filming of Camille) until they eloped to Mexico on May 13, 1922 believing that his divorce from Jean Acker was official. After their re-marriage two years later she left him because he signed a contract that barred her from being involved in his pictures and wasn't allowed on set. She went to Nice to live with her parents and never entered their new mansion, Falcon Lair. He began to date sexy Pola Negri and was also linked to Vilma Banky. While he was touring to promote his last film, an editorial in the Chicago Tribune accused him of "effeminization of the American male". He defended his manhood by challenging the article's writer to a boxing match; it never took place, but another writer for the paper did enter the ring on behalf of the author who would not be named, and Valentino defeated him. He died shortly afterward while he was in New York attending the premiere of his last film. He collapsed in his hotel on August 15, 1926 and died on August 23, after an operation that led to an infection. 80,000 mourners nearly caused a riot at his New York funeral. Another funeral followed in California.

Rudolph Valentino Circa 1920 Paramount Pictures

To generalize on women is dangerous. To specialize in them is
infinitely worse.

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.

A man should control his life. Mine is controlling me.

[after his divorce from <a class="ipc-md-link ipc-md-link--entity" href="/name/nm0009931/?ref_=nmqu_qu">Jean Acker</a>] She said she was my soul mate, but she proved to be my check-mate!

The women I love don&#39;t love me. The others don&#39;t matter.
