Happy 116th Birthday Rudolph Valentino!
Today is the 116th anniversary of Rudolph Valentino's birth. It has been 85 years since he passed away. It is just amazing to me how many people are still huge fans and simply adore him today. I suppose we all keep his legacy going with sites such as this and fans/collectors such as yourselves! I thought I would post a combination of candid and studio photos to commemorate his birthday. At the very least watch a Valentino movie on TCM today, Ana recommends The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, it is a wonderful version that is not available on DVD, and I totally agree with that. Furthermore, have an Italian dinner and maybe a glass of wine or 5 today. Happy Birthday Rudy!
It is truly amazing how beloved he is still, with legions of new fans in every generation since his passing. No other celebrity even comes close to the devotion he inspires. Cheers to dear Rudy!

My name is Brad Frick, I have been a Rudolph Valentino fan / collector for the past 20 years. I wanted to create a site where collectors, fans, and movie buffs could view photos of the thousands of Valentino items from the past 90 years or so. I hope you enjoy the site, feel free to contact me or comment on any of the items posted with your thoughts or if you have any other information. Thanks for visiting the site, enjoy!
Great post on Rudy!
ReplyDeleteA lot of people are remembering him on twitter too which is simply awesome for a man that has been deceased for 85 years.
I hope somewhere in Heaven he would be pleased as punch of the admiration still.
