Rudolph Valentino Award and Program

These are two items from the Rudolph Valentino Awards Ceremony. The Rudolph Valentino Awards started in 1972, it honors lifetime achievements in international film. The last two recipients that I am aware of was Meryl Streep and Andy Garcia in 2010. There is a website that further explains the awards and past winners. The list of former winners are very impressive. The first photo shows Glenn Ford's award from 1977, the second is a photo of a program from the ceremony. The statue has since changed but is still a fantastic depiction of Valentino. The awards themselves are obviously very difficult to come by. The programs show up from time to time. This is yet a few more pieces of Valentino memorabilia that us collectors have to hunt down and buy.
