One thing Rudolph Valentino was not was a simple minded peasant as stated by the idiotic reporter, Adele. Rudolph Valentina came from a good middle class family in Italy. His mother was French. His Italian father was a veterinarian, a biologist & was doing research into malaria, which he sadly died from when Valentino was 11 years old. Valentino arrived in New York by ship paying extra for First Class travel as he did not want to be travelling with the riff raff, he said. His Mother gave him what would amount to today $100,000 which he quickly spent. He did not come from a peasant or poor family. Nor did he come from an extremely wealthy one. His family were comfortably off. Rudy spoke 4 languages & had studied landscaping in Genoa for 2 years receiving his Diploma where he also learnt horse riding. He was a good mechanic & worked on his own cars. Landscaped his garden at Falcon Lair. He got bored with academic studies. He was well read. Loved art, culture & like all Italians he was well dressed & well groomed. He liked beautiful things. He was a gifted & talented dancer. He could cook a mean spaghetti with meatballs which he did many times for his friends. He was well liked by his friends. Women loved him. He Suffered great injustices & jealousy from men who tried to copy him. He had a natural grace. Rudy was alluring & hypnotically magnetic. Full of passion & sensuality. He was a European & a gentleman. He had lived in Paris before going to the USA This is where he learnt to dance. His faults were that he could spend money recklessly, love too deeply, idolised his mother. Could be reckless in fast cars. Got into scrapes & escapades. Some quite innocently. Smoked way too much. Was highly sensitive to challenges about his manhood & called people out for a revenge boxing match. At times he could drink too much to drown his sorrows. Especially when his marriage came to an end. He sometimes allowed his wife, Natascha Rambova to interfere too much in his film career causing a number of fights with personnel involved in the movies that he was in. He could at times be angry when people wrote or said untrue things about him. He struggled when he first came to New York. Not knowing much in the way of English. He would study English phrases & grammar to improve his English. He suffered a great amount of what he said foreign unfriendly slurs & racial implications because he was 1/2 Italian & 1/2 French. Barbs would be made about his ethnicity None of this made Rudolph Valentino a simple minded peasant. Quite the contrary.
I did the DSS rerereassessment here last year. They're just pumping money into that place to burn budget. One of the outside buildings was completely condemned, had no wiring inside, no drywall, just a frame of a building with bricks around it, ready to be bulldozed. They put a brand-new roof on it the year before... Rumor was that they're just going to flood it after they abate all the hazardous materials.
This girl is a dead ringer for a friend of mine from high school. She was trouble so her parents sent her to an all girls Catholic School. She came over my house one day and told me none of the girls there were virgins so they made fun of her. She asked if I could help her out. Proud to say, later that day she was no longer an outcast at the school 😚😘🥰
We never accept a cheque from anyone except the government. Also we never give credit for hay sold. Cash or money order or nothing. The world is not the same as it was in the sixties.
More journalists so illiterate they don't realize that the title of a book should be in quotation marks. Seriously? Did these people even go to college? How stupid do you have to be to not know that. You're literally calling him a "junkie author" if you don't put quotations around the TITLE OF HIS BOOK. Just complete decline in quality like everything nowadays.
You know he had to have those clips downloaded already. I remember it used to take leaving my computer on overnight just to download a single 3-minute music video.
The educated, respectful, oppressed minority interviewee dealing with biased and privileged, largely ignorant, male interviewers, one of whom did not even know the common god of the Abrahamic faiths.
