Rudolph Valentino has been an enduring symbol of early Hollywood glamour. He immediately comes to mind when someone speaks of "Old Hollywood." Valentino was nicknamed "The Latin Lover" and women swooned in his shadow. He grew famous through silent films. Gossip columns talked about him being the sheik with a Ouija board and Valentino was indeed a serious Spiritualist. He bought a ring from a jeweler who warned him that it was cursed and some claim this is why he died young. Could this be why his spirit is still around. There are many places that claim to harbor his spirit. Join us for the life and afterlife of Rudolph Valentino. This Month in History features Tiger King launches.
