1922

Hollywood's original Latin Lover, a term that was invented for Rudolph Valentino by Hollywood moguls. Alla Nazimova's friend,Natacha Rambova (nee Winifred Hudnut) became romantically involved with Rudy and they lived together in her bungalow, from 1921 (during the filming of Camille) until they eloped to Mexico 13 May, 1922 in the belief his divorce from Jean Acker was official. After their re-marriage two years later she left him because he signed a contract that barred her from being involved in his pictures and wasn't allowed on set. She went to Nice to live with her parents and never entered their new mansion, Falcon Lair. He began dating sexy 'Pola Negri' and was also linked to Vilma Banky. While touring to promote his last film, an editorial in the Chicago Tribune accused him of "effeminization of the American male". He defended his manhood by challenging the writer of the article to a boxing match (which never took place with the author but another writer for the paper did enter the ring on behalf of the author who would not be named and Rudy beat him). He died shortly afterward while in New York attending to the premiere of his last film.

At the time of his death he was severely in debt, and his heirs could not afford a burial plot for him. June Mathis, friend and screenwriter of his hit films The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921) and Blood and Sand (1922), agreed to temporarily loan him a space in her family crypt at Hollywood Park Cemetery so he could be interred upon his body's arrival in Los Angeles, following a coast-to-coast funeral train ride from New York. Mathis died the following year and Valentino's body was moved into her husband's space. He is still interred there, as all memorial plans fell through during the Depression.

1919

Valentino and Jean Acker had one of the shortest celebrity marriages on record: six hours. After courting for just a few days, they impulsively married on November 5, 1919, but she locked him out of their hotel room later that night after a spat. They separated, and their divorce was finalized in 1922. Ironically, after their divorce, they became good friends.

1913

Having already failed to make the grade as an army officer he arrived in America from Italy in 1913 and went through a succession of casual jobs such as dish washer and waiter before getting work as a dancer.
