Item description from seller

Usually listed as published 1926, though as the foreword is dated December, 1926, we doubt it was in stores before January. This volume is bound in red cloth with gilt title "Rudolph Valentino" dropped out of black spine label. As this title is usually encountered in purple cloth with larger gilt spine titles -- and given the nice condition of these endpapers, while the rest of the book is a bit musty with occasional minor spotting -- we suspect this may be a re-bind. Very good with all 16 called-for B&W plates firmly attached (though frontispiece may have been re-glued in place.) Those hoping the offer of an "intimate" portrait means Ms. Rambova will discuss the silent film star's sexual prowess -- or even his inclinations -- are likely to be disappointed. (Dancer and film star Rodolfo Alfonso Guglielmi di Valentina d'Antonguella died Aug. 23, 1926. He and Rambova (nee Winifred Kimball Shaughnessy in Salt Lake City) had divorced in 1925 after a two-year marriage. Valentino's first bride, Jean Acker, was indeed a lesbian who locked him out of her bedroom on their wedding night. Rumors that both Valentino and Rambova were homosexual were denied by those who knew them.) 224 pp. Here reduced from $1,180.
