He would have changed Hollywood for the better I think, had he lived longer. My father told me that he was often the object of ridicule by envious men. He suffered for this, but his adoring female public was stronger than the unfair criticism. RIP.
@@jeanvocalist She stated, she didn't know why they continue to have memorials for Rudy. I thought that was kind of inconsiderate of his memory. They may have been colleague's but I never really heard of her and many people have heard of Rudolph Valentino. So just a little disrespectful, I don't think she meant any harm though
Accidentally trip at the right moment so that he tackles me lol. Onto the sofa or bed lol. He'd smell really good, too, and his skin would be hot with the mildest perspiration from the "chase"... "RUDY"! I'd exclaim, "what _is_ that pressing against me"!? He'd be surprised at his own strength as his arms grab me lol. Sigh... And then....
Her remarks about his being ill when he was with Pola Negri were interesting, that he didn't come down for meals....He was sick during the filming of "The Son of the Sheik" but he had to work to pay off his debts. By August he was dead...his ulcer did kill him...he was initially diagnosed with appendicitis but when they did his autopsy they saw that it was only mildly inflamed. (Correction: there was no autopsy.) The gastric ulcer had mimicked appendicitis...gastric fluid was leaking down his side to the area of the appendix...his condition is considered to be rare (it can also involve a duodenal ulcer) and in the medical journals it is called "Valentino Syndrome." There are research articles in medical journals to this day about this...cases, xrays, etc. and they cite his case. He didn't go to the doctors even though he was urged to do so and the incessant smoking and stress he was under dealing with the Rambova divorce didn't help. He also was upset about all the mocking about his masculinity...according to H.L. Mencken, he thought his life had gone out of his control, it was too fast and grotesque. He seemed to be unhappy shortly before he passed....
And further research reveals that he was not well in 1922, either, while filming "The Young Rajah." My interest was further piqued by the comments of Dr. Rawls who was in attendance during his final illness...he mentioned "malnutrition." Rudy had been saying he was eating very little and mostly drinking near the end in NYC...but, early on in NYC he did have hungry times and he had times of real hunger in LA while struggling. And it turns out that if a person doesn't eat regularly, stomach acid continues to churn out and irritate the stomach...So Rudy may have suffered for years prior to things getting worse...and the large quantities of sodium bicarb that he was using close to the end actually made things worse...It's so sad!
Correction: there was no autopsy. That was stated by a current doctor discussing Valentino Syndrome in an academic paper.... but that is not correct. Family did not want an autopsy.
He was not sick în 1922 while fiming The Young Rajah, he was just love sick because he and his wife Natacha hâd to live apart for a while after The bigamy trial.
@@secretariatgirl4249 I know my comment here is late, but I wanted to add to this discussion. The bacteria, H. pylori, has been proven to be a primary cause of gastric ulcers. I actually contracted H. pylori a couple of years ago and it was extremely unpleasant - nearly excruciating. The treatment involved very high doses of two different antibiotics for a prolonged period with no guarantee of recovery due to antibiotic resistant strains that are common nowadays. The treatment was successful, however. At the gastroenterologist, I was in tears and doubled over in pain. It felt like small rodents were attempting to claw their way out of my stomach. No kidding. Little feet scratching relentlessly away inside of me. I thought it was pancreatic cancer. When infected, eating helped. Having something in my stomach helped. When empty, my stomach felt like it was starting to eat itself. It would begin with very strong hunger pangs and lead to a churning, clawing, foul feeling. Imagine being more hungry than you've ever been in your life with ripping hunger and then drinking a shot of vinegar with some cayenne pepper and tobacco juice mixed in... That's what it felt like when my stomach was empty. It hurt all the way up to my chin. Referred pain... Thank goodness for the antibiotics. In the days before WWII antibiotics, there was nothing doctors could do. H. pylori wasn't even discovered until near the end of the 20th century. Before then, everyone thought stress caused ulcers. H. pylori _will_ stress you out and the stress makes you feel worse. I can't even imagine what it would be like to live for years with that infection. It was a nightmare for the few months I was sick. How Rudolph Valentino managed to exercise 2 hours a day and be physically fit is a feat of human endurance. How he carried on is incredible. Perseverance and discipline.
@@secretariatgirl4249 This is the first time I have come across this. No autopsy? His family did not want an autopsy? What reason would they have to deny this to Rudy?
Valentino needed the love and care of a good woman in his hectic life. He was pinned the "Great Lover," and he never found a great lover to fit into his life. Life can be a........!
He wasn't forcing her to do anything!!! Like any man with an attractive woman, he gave it his best shot. Typical male move then and typical male move today in 2020. Her words: "He was honorable enough to stop chasing me." And when she said "Take me home," he did. Where do come off using the word Rapist???
He did hit his two wives, which always has bothered me. Didn't do it regularly...probably extreme stress/frustration at the moment...I often wonder about if he had some impulse control issues due to his depression and nervousness...buying clothes, spending money often is a way to "soothe" oneself. I have a cousin like that....
@@secretariatgirl4249 where did you read he hit his wives? I’ve never heard that before, I’ve just gotten into him this week and learning a lot about him

In what sense would have RV chage Hollywood?
He was a gentleman and she was a lady..what a lovely story. I'm glad I chanced by this post. I'm a Valentino fan.
I don't know if her story was complementary to Rudy. But, I guess that's Hollywood folklore
Why do you think it's not complimentary to Rudy?

@@ji5340 ok thank you for replying. I agree with you on that point. ❣️❣️❣️
To be chased around the room by Rudolph Valentino? I couldn't even begin to imagine it! :)
SoothingChime15 he wouldn't have to chase me lol
Me either! Too bad he would have been 85 years older than me! LOL!!
I'd let him chase me for a while. OOh
@@zimjun7 I would have let him catch me after uhhh, about a second.
Mosaic rose,I couldn't I
Loved this date story! Dinner and dancing with Valentino? SIGHHH. 💘
Having Valentino chasing you..."try not to run too fast"

If you were rich and pretty!

Hmm. Her recollection yet Valentino was handsome and charming and I doubt that was different before he became famous.
I'd be chasing him. Lol
Me too!
Same here
I wouldnt mind being chased after by Rudy by no means. 😀
Love it!

Valentino wouldn’t have to chase me……
Me neither!
There will never be another Rudolph Valentino.

No there will never be...
ABSOLUTELY 💯 %!❤
They were all jealous
ABSOLUTELY 💯 %!❤
She should have let Rudy catch her. Lol
I would have stopped and let him catch me !!♥
Truth or attention seeking?
Is say his he ha the wondering eyes 👀👀👀👀👀👀 at every lady 😍😍😍😍😎,rest in peace to him amen 🌹💗
I wanna be chased and then caught by Rudy!
Cute story.
It doesn't matter how good looking a man is if he's forcing you to have sex it's unsettling and very scary. Most rapists are attractive.
Don't judge too quickly. She was scared and asked to be taken home and he did just so.
Are you saying he was a rapist???
