Just think ...Wow, you out did yourself, dear Carol. Just think how many readers who didn't know Valentino do now. I remember my first introduction. It was a 1975 TV movie with Suzanne Pheshette and Franco Nero called The Legend of Valentino. It was afterwards that I went to the library and searched for everything I could find on Valentino. I was starstruck! <br /><br />Nero and Valentino had so much in common.Joylene Nowell Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497637513532136615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718751493806122087.post-32272509028934892502011-05-06T07:51:33.796-07:002011-05-06T07:51:33.796-07:00Hello, Sarah Ballance!

It is no wonder his name lives on as a emblem of potent male sexuality.<br /><br />Brava, Carol, for bringing him to our attention today, and allowing us the chance to wish the man and his memory a very happy day of birth. I thank the fates for allowing him to grace this world at all. I'm not surprised he was taken early from this life...the Gods ever chose to bring that which is brightest and best close to themselves, yes?Cherie Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857878847402931997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718751493806122087.post-10838382148612259072011-05-06T06:38:02.432-07:002011-05-06T06:38:02.432-07:00Oh, I'm excited that you're going to get t...Oh, I'm excited that you're going to get to see the films, Julie!<br /><br />I think The Son of the Sheik is my favorite film of his. Of course, you know how funny the silents can come across, and this is no exception...LOL. But he is heavenly in it, just a dream.<br /><br />And I think you'll enjoy the bio. I love to read about the stars, too! <br />My favorite auto-bio of all time is 'Swanson on Swanson", Gloria Swanson's autobiography. I mean...what a woman.<br /><br />Let me know what you think of the films!C.

Also they have a copy of Son of the Sheik and Camille. Those should be good starts!<br /><br />I love to read biographies of actors, especially of past eras. They give us glimpses into people we don't often get a chance to see, having been overshadowed by more current stars.<br /><br />Did you ever write your sheik novel?

Thank you!<br />There are many bios of him out there...some are a little liberal with facts...but the best one, the one I love the most, is 'Dark Lover" by Emily Leider. For starters. There is also a really good one, 'Madame Valentino' by Michael Morris, which centers more on his relationship with his wife. It's lovely. <br /><br />Warning....he was a beautiful man with a bittersweet life.C.
