Rudolph Valentino

Rudolph Valentino
Cinema’s most romantic hero, Rudolph Valentino, mesmerized women around the world with his sultry good looks, ideally suited to playing exotic roles. His fame was such that after his early death at the age of 31, some fans are said to have killed themselves from grief. He is seen here opposite Agnes Ayers in The Sheikh (1921, directed by George Melford).
