I just realized I’m in love with a man that was old enough to me my great grandfather! He’s so beautiful and timeless
And he dressed so nicely. He was classy and elegant. If only men from this era took the time to look impeccable.
@@JerryOrbachFan Can't really picture him with his hat turned backwards and his jeans sagging, can you?
As someone born 105 years after his own birth date, he still remains one of the most charming men I've seen. His aura says it all
@@constantine7382 That would be awful and he wouldn't be caught dead doing that in public.
I guarantee there were also men of that era that looked like scrubs. We just don’t see them because they never got on camera. Now everyone has a cell phone camera so we see every type of person.
My grandfather was born in 1926. He just turned 97. 😮🤯
So he's Marilyn's age, had she not died. That's pretty awesome.
My grandmother , if she was still here today . She would’ve been 97 too . Born June 20,1926
❤❤❤
Is he still with us? I'd love to be able to talk to people of that age, just to hear their wisdom and all the stuff they remember from back in their early years.
@@CPorter No. Sadly he passed in February. Thankfully he left a lot of info on his family's history. I know all about my ancestry on his side.(He was my maternal grandfather)
His arms and legs are well muscled. Natural and no steroids unlike most ripped actors today
It just seems that Rudolph Valentino was like the male equivalent of Marilyn Monroe. Both were very attractive and both died in their thirties - Rudolph at 31, and Marilyn at 36. Both were superstars, but their personal lives were far from perfect.
Rudy had such a sad short life with incredible success and riches
He loved women who were so wrong for him!
But he kept seeking out the same type of independant women who cared more for their own success and used his fame to improve their
own careers.
The most beautiful man of all time
was extremely lonely and looking
For someone to love him for
himself and not his film image.
So even Rudy didn't find true happiness.
I've never seen him this close up before. You can really see all the details of his face. He wasn't "stunning" but definitely had charisma and a nice physique.
Yes, according to his dear friend and manager George Ullman, he was smoking and drinking way too much, eating badly, and not getting much sleep. He was deteriorating. Very sad.
He was stunning but he was 31 and had deteriorating physical and mental health by this point, also the slick hair never really suited him and less so as he aged. He had a shy smile. Everyone ages, he was coming closer to Cary Grants charm as he aged.
@@conniediaz6456 Didn't know that, he actually looks like someone living bad
@@littlellama5893also his wife leaving him depressed him. He tried so hard to please her with her lousy ideas for film that all tanked. He sacrificed his career for her and she still left him in the end
@@nenabunena that is very true. She was leaving him over a long time span time...mocking him in public, taking off for days, buying a boat that he found out about later, cheating on him while making the film he and George financed for her, and then she took off. He faced reality and cut her off from the company they had formed, but he was betrayed badly.
It's mind blowing how old his movies are.
What a glorious man. Terribly sad he should die so young. If only they had antibiotics.

So True 👍 👌 😢 👏 🙌 😄 👍 👌 😢 👏 🙌 😄!❤
I have a photograph of him taken by my grandfather. He was on vacation in devils lake. I assume 1923
Please post it
Wow! What a treasure!
Find it please
Amazing.
Lucky You!❤
Thanks For Sharing These Videos 📹 About RUDY VALENTINO!❤
I honestly can't fathom why there are no existing recordings of his speaking voice, anywhere, besides of course the wonderful two songs he sang. He made so many public appearances, and I believe did some radio interviews. Any thoughts @britishpathe?
I thought the same very thing . If he would’ve lived a few more years longer . We could have . What I heard from other actresses that had worked with him . He had a baritone voice . A very lovely Italian accent .His brother is in a interview on RUclips. You can hear his voice , but it’s not the same without it being Rudy’s .
I hate seeing him take that punch to the stomach, knowing he died from perforated ulcers in the stomach just a few months later. I wonder if that punch ruptured something. Who knows?
@@lesleymaner2851. Yes I was thinking the same thing.
Unfortunately the technique of sound recording on magnetic tape reels was only invented in the midst thirties.
Before that any early radio broadcasting done in the twenties could not be recorded.
It just aired live once and then it was gone, lost forever to the cosmos.
So sadly all radio broadcastings, which Valentino might have done, are in fact lost forever.
Only these two records on shellack, which he had made on May, the 14th, 1923, have remained with us.
I’ve Always Felt That The Last Boxing Punch LED To Valentino’s Death...if you watch closely, Valentino laughs off this last punch which unexpectedly hit him with tremendous force right in the Gut ,...He would display abdominal ruptures in the Hospital soon after. Of course the Punch was accidental but with the ruptured organs, Peritonitis soon set in .....quickly killing Valentino . I’m surprised I’ve never read this before !
I think those lessons from Dempsey were a full year, at least, before he died. He did look a little bothered but it isn't likely to have killed him. Good eye on you though.
A year of being punched in the gut could've wreaked havoc on his organs. He died too young.
It was more than just being in boxing matches...
The boxing segment is not correct. It is from around 1925. Valentino was taking lessons with Jack Demsey and was sparting with a pro named Delmont. They would spar at 6 am before Rudy went to the studio. In 1926, just before he died, he fought a sports reporter named O'Neill on the roof if the Ambassador Hotel...the muscle-flexing but seems to come from that PR event. In the dining sequence, Dempsey and his wife are shown...she was supposed to act with Rudy in his next film which never happened.
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!❤
Today is May 6, 2024.
Happy 129th birthday 🎂 Rudolph Valentino.
I read that. Rudolph Valentino, The Great actor. Husband of Natacha Rambova. Left proof that he lived after death in spirit body. Walking up and down Broadway for many years and no one noticed. He would astral project, to and fro, following His Truest Love, Natasha.
Just to add..
Baltasar Cue book wrote The True Rudolph Valentino after his death. Cue used the materials and notes he had from Valentino, whom he was working with to write his definitive story. He includes what he cites as the last photo of Rudy in the offices of the Strand Theater in NYC where the SOTS was playing. I can only say that his youthful glow was gone. He was out at night, feeling unwell, and not taking care of himself.
He looks awesome in "the son of the sheik". Healthy, fit and strong.
I agree that he would have probably aged badly. But still he was a good actor, and had a sense of humor. He was Italian, most of them do not take seriously anything, not even themselves. He would have been able to play the villain, the gangster, or comic roles.
He made a bad decission with Rambova. Valentino wanted a family, Rambova was a pretencious woman who always placed herself first.
@@cinderelladevil1687 ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!❤
@@cinderelladevil1687 He did long for a loving wife and children, but sadly, it was not to be. He fell in love hard, quickly, and he was lonely. What this poor young man did not know was that Hollywood was not the place to find the type of woman he yearned for. ☹
Hi is there a pdf of this book somewhere?
Ole Valentino was a cut, buff dude! No wonder he pulled all the ladies! 👈🏿👍🏿
"before his sudden....". Sudden what?! Cannot leave us hanging like that!
Sudden death, I suppose....the onset was sudden as his ulcer (s) perforated. But it was a long time coming I believe based on my research....
The Unbelievable Thing is that Boxing Match that He Had with that Writer Who Filled In For the Yellow Coward, Hit Rudy With a Body Blow that Some Feel Caused the Perforation. This Makes All The Sense In The World But Rudy Never Would Have Dreamed of That Happening. Anyone Who Has Night Time or Day Time Reflux Will Tell You How Horrible the Burning Is. It Will Wake You From Sleep. I Have Had It For a Couple Years Now. Even If I Dont Eat, I Still Get Burning. I Have to Sleep Upright. You Can Drink Marshmallow Tea with Either MCT OR OLIVE OIL IN IT AND THAT WORKS TO STOP THE ACID FROM BURING YOUR ESOPHAGEAL WALL. Anyhow, The Lining is Left Weak and It Takes Time to Heal. If You Get a Hard Enough Punch There, You Will Go to The Hospital. In this Video, You Can See The Punch and Rudy’s Reaction To It. It is Immediate. He Stops Fighting and The Fight is Over. VERY SAY! The Guy He Boxed, He Could Have Easily Stayed Away From and Been Alive Today. It Is Beyond Sad! 😞
@@AWiz-lx8lh All First Letters In Caps Is A Relatively New And Annoying Habit. But At Least No Period After Every Word.
Can't help wondering if that last blow to his lower left abdomen during his sparring could have caused the rupture to his appendix? Notice how he grabbed that area in pain.
In those days people paid little attention to relate things. Or perhaps his sparring partner might have been charged with involuntary manslaughter. But it's water under the bridge now.
But for a man so young and physically fit, one can not help suspecting foul play somewhere.
Growing old can be choresome. But people like Valentino and Monroe are immortalized as Forever young - Forever beautiful.
Leaving behind a body of work that captured them in the peak of their beauty and sensuality. Forever young - Forever loved.
Valentino is by far the most sensual and beautifully charismatic actor I have ever seen. Maybe DiNero is his younger days. But Valentino leaves today's actors in the dust.
RIP Valentino 💖
I just don't think he was taking care of himself. So much stress in his personal life must take a toll.
@@constantine7382 Plus he was a smoker. But then again many people were in those days.
@@JerryOrbachFan And back then it was hardcore cigarettes. That's a good point I hadn't thought of.
@@constantine7382 I don't think they even had filters on them..
@@JerryOrbachFan No, I don't think they did. That was the primary reason for my own father's death years ago. Roll your owns' are killers.
I love Rudy 🇧🇷😍
Me Too!❤
Per una parte di italiani, quelli che hanno un approccio alla bellezza estremo, di stampo grecia classica, è un eroe nazionale.
At that time he was boxing he already was experiencing pain, he ends the fight by touching his abdomen in pain.
WOW 😳
You don’t know WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW!!! Rudolph Chambliss my Popz.
GEORGIA has MANY SECRETS….Buried!!!
El porte masculino y carismático de Rudolph Valentino, su risa sincera y muy abierta. Un rostro muy expresivo.
That footage of him sitting with Dempsey and Estelle Taylor (his wife) was when they met 4 days before he was stricken....
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!❤
Rudolfo and his beautiful physique.
He saved a Mother & 8 yr old girl perfect strangers family i just heard got em outta Russia passports, suppport $$ ..while later on trip to Paris this blessed person & her family got to meet Him ...he saved all THEIR saves.......what a fabulous caring humanitarian....oh my gosh sweet man
RUDY VALENTINO IS OUR HERO!❤
Why in the hell are there no "news reels" with Valentino being interviewed where his speaking voice can be heard? Wasn't he interviewed by newspaper people back then? I recently heard recordings of his voice no longer exist. Why?
So this is the men that women would faint over
He's been dead almost 100 years
I cant help finding it a little strange, that this video shows the last living footage of Rudy, and shortly after he had to hurry to th polyclinic for an operation that obviusly not saved his life.
How come his organs were so damaged, even he was acting swimming almost jumping on horseback, exercise and boxing dancing and the sweet life at night, and out of nowhere he was dead at age 31, normally a very strong age.
Am I the only one who wonder a little about that.......
YES ..ALL U SAY I AGREE....DONT UNDERSTAND.EITHER..............
@Janne Petersen and @Karen Hill, it’s the predictable result of not having the access to antibiotics that we now take for granted 😔
The same situation happened with Jean Harlow, gone at 27 from uremic poisoning/kidney failure. She even died at home because really, there was nothing to be done for her in a hospital setting 🤷🏻♀️
We must never take for granted how lucky we are nowadays!
100 years ago there wasn't much technology/meds or any helpfull medical resources provided as how it is now
He wasn't the only one to die that way. It was common for people to die if they waited till their abdomens became hard. He was complaining to friends about his abdominal discomfort for quite a while, but would not see an MD.
He was self medicating with bicarbonate of soda and alcohol. He had stomach pains for quite some time but feared doctors.
I love Rudy Valentino.
he was the Brad Pitt of his day
Fun Fact: The Brad Pitt of the 1920's had a wife named Natasha who was a huge spiritualist. The movie scripts he brought on set and given to the director came from his wife Natasha who would hold a seance every night calling forth help from the spirit world in her creative undertaking. Then pencil in hand she would go into a trance and begin writing. So in other words, the movies you see him in were literally handed over from the demonic realm.
Was that the punch that brought on his illness that eventually killed him?
Jack Dempsey is the referee in the boxing scene, thanks
I think he died from a broken heart, and alittle bit of foul play.
La sua morte.ancora ci addolora...morire così giovane....
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT RUDOLFOVALENTINO!❤
Sad that LA tore down his mansion.
We’re all the films he played in Black and white?
Yes. They were made at least a decade or two before movies were colorized.
I’ve always wonders if that gut punch he received in the ring contributed towards his perforated ulcer
THAT'S SO TRUE 👍 👏 💯 %!❤🤣 😅 😢 👍 👏
THAT'S SO TRUE 👍 👏 💯 %!❤🤣 😅 😢 👍 👏
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking. In fact, I believe if that man hadn’t punched Rudy in the stomach, Rudy would have had many more years to deal with the ulcer, and maybe by then the drugs would have been available to heal him. I wonder what was the date of that fight? It seems it was shortly before Rudy was hospitalized. I will research this to see if a punch to the gut can accelerate an ulcer, especially in an advanced state as Rudy’s ulcer was.
No, that sparring match was a long time before he went to NYC...the exhibition on the hotel in August 1926 didn't even get that far!
Amigos esse cara fui eu em reencarnação recente ..... RUDY
I have photos well copies. Of Rudy in my Aunties photos. Quite a few pics. One he was dressed as a woman and on the back it said how the priest were unhappy about him doing that.
There was Rudy and bunch of girls all sitting on a rock, I guess enjoying the day out. I think one of them was my Aunty sorry my Great Aunty I can’t remember which lol.
I know my Aunty ( last name Devlin I think ) was a dancer and so was another two GG Aunts I have a copy of the 3 girls together.
One of them was especially a good dancer & was taken over to the states.
I guess the thing is that someone has the originals and if any of u big fans might have photos.
I have copies of him and his wife mucking around - it was a fun day not a movie I don’t think.
Anyways you always have to start somewhere. You just never know who holds the Trove until they know someone’s interested in them.
Thanks heaps 🙂🙏🏻🇦🇺🦘🐨
Jane!❤THANKS FOR SHARING THIS WITH US ABOUT RUDOLFOVALENTINO AND YOUR GREAT AUNT !❤
@@jeanbaumgartner4052 your very welcome. I wish I knew more but all my Aunts have passed away and when I visit the cousin that might know a little bit more. Some visits I don’t say anything, so they don’t think I’m there just for history notes… but it was from their mum my dads sister who knew all the stories and she died before I was right into my families history. Once I get a brand new laptop I will be re- starting again. I would love to know if it was dancing that my Great Aunt was sent overseas for. I did get as far with my dads mother side 1300s our Ggggggggggggggg lol grandfather direct was a bard and strummed for the King of Ireland. I emailed a University over in the states that teach poetry and he wrote back saying if this is your family id like to see your lineage please. About 6 months later I got this big package - he had 50 poems from my 13th GGrandfather & 13 Great Uncle’s. They still learn their poetry today ( it’s a long story how they survived, I’ll type it down. Next time if u want) they had their own castles and I have pics of their graves - because I shared the poems, other family members shared other thing with me- .
Would love it if you can share those pictures somewhere! Especially to us avid fans of Rudy!
@@conniediaz6456 I’d love to do that. I’m just going through kidney stones atm and in a lot of pain. I just want to hold out so the hospital isn’t so busy. Lol when ever that is lol. I’ll make up a fake email u do the same and we can send stuff that way. How does that sound?
@@janegilmore102 I'm also very sorry about your kidney stones. I wish you a speedy recovery.

I wonder if that punch to the stomach had something to do with his death , very sad seemed like a nice man
ACTUALLY RIGHT ABOUT RUDY VALENTINO!❤
No. That sparring match was a year before he died.
AHS FANS
He was supposed to be this super handsome guy?
Why a question mark ? To many of us . He was a beautiful man .Too bad he died very young .
Watch his films, you'll get it
He actually could be caught looking less than perfect in certain photos...some reviewers said he could actually be ugly. But that's true for everyone, even the most photogenic. But. for sure...the professional portraits and the films were shot to enhance his looks. He WAS very good looking though...but by the end, he was exhausted and unwell.
@@rudolphvalentinoconnection8298 He was never ugly, even at his worst.
