Добавлен 23 июл 2022
The Valentino Memorial Service is the oldest annual event in Hollywood history. Starting in 1927 it continues to even today. Here you will get to see every Valentino Memorial (good or bad!) from 1996 to current. Songs, prayer, historical retrospective and custom videos are all part of the Valentino Memorial Service. The original legacy tapes have all been professionaly digitized and are presented exclusively on this channel. It's the fulfillment of my desire to have these made readily available to the public for historical purposes as well as giving people who are interested in Valentino, a peek into the past Valentino Memorials that have been held. Our motto is "We Never Forget" These recordings are proof positive that he is not forgotten. Tracy Ryan Terhune

Valentino was in amazing physical condition for an actor
The likeness is uncanny!
Ace Hudkins is my Great-Uncle and I wrote the book Ace Hudkins: Boxing With The Nebraska Wildcat. I am also working on a second book about their work with the ranch and the studios. I hope everyone will enjoy it. Thank you for making this video!
Thank you so much Kristine for sharing this information! I am glad you enjoyed the video of your great Uncle Ace with Rudy. Does the family have any additional photos from his day with Valentino?
I found this fascinating. How sad that two brilliant (and handsome) young men died so tragically at such a young age. Would you know if that was a quote in Rudy's signed photograph or was it just Rudy's heart speaking so eloquently? Thank you so much.
Hi Cheryl, as far as I know, it was written from his heart. The young lady had done a handwriting analysis of Valentino for her local paper. It was the paper that sent the article to Joe Jackson, who in turn, showed it to Valentino. I agree, it was a beautiful expression.
@@WeNeverForget I truly believe that Valentino had a very special humanity, intelligence, and creativity. This signed note and photograph is so endearing and thoughtful. Thank you for your lovely and quick response. :))
So, so sad. Rudy only got worse and then he died. What a shock that must have been for his family and friends.
This is the first mention of Valentino's act of bravery I have heard. The fall must have contributed to his medical demise. Rudy truly was an amazing man.
Thank you so much!!🌷👏👏👏🌅💐
Very interesting this story. It gives a lot of insight into the work of Joe Jackson as Rudy’s press agent and also about the famous bungalow Rudy had on the Universal lot.
Thank you for picking up on that. Everywhere my research into the bungalow led me, Joe Jackson was there to be found. I looked into him as a side story, and how very sad it was. He is buried at the very top of the stack in a almost darkened corridor at the bottom level of Forest Lawn in a restricted area. I had security with me as I filmed that brief clip of Joe Jackson's resting place. I felt I was probably the first person to come see him in decades if not more. They all deserve to be remembered.
Oh that is very sad about Joe Jackson. Great final image of the bungalow. That one was new to me.
why did valentino get a borrowed grave? youd think some studio head or friend could have bought one. they arent that expensive. doesn t make sense
The "borrowed grave" issue is often misrepresented. When Valentino died in NY at the age of 31 he had made no provisions for a burial place. Many in Hollywood requested that Alberto allow his brother to be buried in Hollywood where he made his fame. His sister Maria wanted him brought to Italy for burial. Natacha wanted him in the Hudnut family plot in New York. The Hollywood crowd won out and June Mathis offered temporary use until a final resting place could be arraigned. She died 11 months later unexpectedly and he was taken out and moved over one slot, and June was laid to rest where Rudy had been since Sept 7, 1926. In 1933 Balboni contacted Alberto about paying/buying the space Rudy was in, which was for himself but since Balboni was returning to Italy, he wished to sell his crypt outright. Bank of America by this time was adminstrator of the Estate, as Ullman had stepped down. Bank of America paid Balboni for the crypt. Now he no longer rested in a "borrowed" grave. However the transaction was private and not then publicly known. By 1936 as the 10th anniversary of Valentino's passing was in the news, articles and movie magazines still stated that Valentino was still, 10 years later in a "borrowed" grave. Of course this was not true. Pola's telegram in the video to Walter Winchell was in response to these claims of being in a borrowed grave. I hope this time line helps to clear up any mis-information that has been floating around. Some RUclipsr's are STILL saying he rests in a borrowed grave. He's not.
@@WeNeverForget thanks so much for the detailed answer. i wish valentino had had a death surrounded with more dignity. it just seems so needlessly exploitive and disrespectful
valentino had class. such a well written reply
this was wonderful . thanks
Interesting to see original telegrams - thanks!
Beautifully Done. Thank You.
Natasha was Right. Rudy Wanted a Home Maker and She Was Not That. They Were 2 of The Most Talented Individuals To Ever Grace Earth and Had They Stayed Together, They Probably Would Have Been Like Chaplin and Purchased Their Own Studio. There Is The Old Saying: “Be Careful What You Wish For. You May Get It.” Being That We Are All Light Energy Beings That Do Not Die, I’m Sure Rudy Got To Experience First Hand That Family Life He So Desired. And I’m Sure It Wasn’t All He Expected. The Lesson Is, When You Love Someone You Stay With Them Even Though In This SHORT LIFE, They May Not Desire Kids. Maybe In The Life Rudy Lived With Natascha, They Were Supposed To Just Be On That Endless Honeymoon. All Is Cycles. Enjoy and Make The Best Of The Cycle You Are In Cause Soon, It Will Be On To The next One To Follow That Dream. Blessings and Happy Trails To All.
She had something the studios wanted...Valentino. Do they set out to destroy her.
Valentino lived when times were really quaint!
Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed that. 💙💙💙
Very nice, tho Rudy's decision to sign a contract excluding Natasha from any part cost him his marriage, I can say, by looking at the way he looked at her in pictures, that he did truly love her! ❤ I surely hope they met again in heaven, a place where all those things that seemed to matter here don't matter anymore!
😢Valentino ha saputo scegliere, una donna bellissima, splendida, una donna di classe, elegante, naturalmente nulla togliere al grande Valentino.
Thank you beautifully done. Rest in Eternal Peace Mr. Valentino. No one can compare to you.
Beautiful presentation!!!!!!!!!! I love the background music!!!!!!!💗
Very nice!
Very sad. Marion suffered from some type of mental illness. She was delusional. May she forever rest in peace.
Such a sad and tragic story. May Ms. Benda rest in peace. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Though tragic and sad, it is still a part of Valentino history. As always, thanks for sharing this...
Well done! A few of these photos I hadn't seen, so thanks for creating this vid! 😊
Stunning.....
"There is no peace , saith my God , to the wicked " , the book of Isaiah .
Her fashion sense is so inspiring.Though it is vintage now, it was unique and modern,though from what I've learned of her, she herself was into vintage for her time period and seemed to take pieces of the vintage to create futuristic and seriously striking, unique fashion.She is a fashion icon and had such an interesting life, and on the outside so beautiful and on the inside so intelligent.I hope she reconnected with Valentino and her friends and her dog Bimbo in the afterlife.I so would love having a seance ' to attempt to communicate with her or at least to thank her for her amazing costume designs and influence in the fashion world even now.She seems like someone that would be a very interesting dinner guest.....Id definitely invite her to a fancy party in Europe somewhere... what an artist this woman was.I cannot get enough info about her!
Read "Madam Vakentino". I can't remember the author but he did a great job of explaining who she was. She led an exciting life from being spirited away at age 5 by her mother from an abusive husband/father who had been a Civil War hero to becoming the stepdaughter ( and taking hus name) of a magnate to being sent to boarding school in Europe as a child to being shot by her Russian lover to fleeing the Soanish Civil War with her dog to becoming an accomplished Egyptologist. Valentino was just a part if it.
Thank you for this video. There were a few photographs of Rudy that I had never seen before which, for me, is always a treat.
Rodolfo Valentino llegó a América para triunfar.
We remember you Rudy always and forever.
Happy Birthday to you, Rudy. 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂 🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭 🎬🎥🎞️📽️🏬 👍👍👍👍👍 😀😀😀😀😀
Happy Heavenly Birthday Rudy. ❤
Por dios tantos recuerdos. Un hombre de siglos.
Thank you for remembering Rudy. It’s truly appreciated!
Thank you so much Tracy for always remembering Our Rudy!
Thank you so much for posting this! I love her! She doesn't get the appreciation she deserves
I wonder who has that camera now!
I own the camera, it's part of my Valentino collection
This was really interesting. Thanks for sharing...
Thanks for this tribute to a very special lady, a woman born in the wrong age.
Actually she was born at the right time. She was a set designer at the age of 20-22 years old, that would never happen in Hollywood today. The early years of Hollywood had far more women in key positions than today. June Matthis was the highest paid film executive in Hollywood. Btw, June discovered Valentino.
Very nice tribute and remembrance of Natacha.
Made me cry. Lovely.
Wonderful video, thank you
Alberto looked so sad and out of touch and with good reason. He must have been shocked to receive the news that his super famous brother had passed away.
Pola Negri really did feel a genuine loss with his passing. It was merely his death that did them part, not a divorce or any other matter. She probably envisioned a future with him that would last forever and it became a broken dream she kept at heart 💔 for the rest of her life. She kept in touch with Albert Valentino and may have really regarded him as a true brother-in-law that never came to be. Either way, RIP 🪦 to both Rudolph Valentino and Pola Negri. After almost 61 years following his passing, they were reunited. I imagine he awaited her at heaven’s entrance with open arms for her undying love and affection.
Beautiful monument. ❤
Thank you for this informative video and celebrating Pola's everlasting legacy.
This video was beautifully thought out. I really don't know what to think of Pola's actions. She seemed to be a very dramatic woman. I'm sure that she had deep feelings for Rudy. May she forever rest in peace.
