	Ramon Novarro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Novarro had been troubled all his life as a result of his conflicting views over his Roman Catholic religion and his homosexuality.
		One was previously acquainted with Novarro and knew him to be a wealthy man. Believing that a large sum of money was hidden in Novarro's house, the two men tortured him for several hours to force him to reveal where the money was hidden, but there was no money.
		Novarro died as a result of asphyxiation, choking to death on his own blood after being brutally beaten.

	Notherby's :: The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg
		Novarro is exceptional as the adult prince; slight of build, with a gentle beauty and a huge winning smile, he gives us a thoroughly convincing portrayal, his face expressing subtle emotions not often seen in the silent film genre.
		Ramon Novarro could not have been more perfectly cast than in this production where he plays the shy and sheltered prince of the title who goes to study at Heidelberg and in the process learns about life and love and finds his place in the world as a result.
		Ramon's gentle playing of the prince and the rather sad ending to the film when he sacrifices love for duty will never fail to move you and it's a splendid piece of acting by Ramon Novarro.

		Ramon Novarro made the transition to sound favorably, playing romantic roles opposite the likes of Greta Garbo in "Mata Hari" (1932), Jeanette MacDonald in "The Cat And The Fiddle" (1934) and UK's Evelyn Lane in "The Night is Young" (1935).

		Novarro was born Ramon Samaniego in Durango, Mexico on February 6, 1899.
		Ingram directed Novarro in roles as various as that of the villainous Rupert of Hentzau in The Prisoner of Zenda (1922) and the tragic lover of Trifling Women (1922), and co-starred him in three romantic pictures with his wife, Alice Terry.
		Novarro was less pretentious than Valentino was, and there was a natural style to his acting that distinguished him from other young actors.

	Speaking Out
		In the bedroom with Novarro and possibly after a sexual connection--both were naked at a certain point--the burly young man, dressed now, demanded the $5,000 rumored to be hidden in the house.
		At 36, Soares claims, Novarro was a "has-been." But he endured on the stage, returning to films as a character actor, "forever dreaming of a spectacular comeback." That "comeback" occurred when his murder yanked him out of near-obscurity.
		Novarro's legend is undeniably tainted by the monstrous ending to his secret life.

		Ramon practically had to tie Pancho to the chair to get her to sit still for it, but sit still she did for two hours of professional hair and makeup by the best man in Hollywood, a true artiste, a specialist in tiny eyes, in making them...bigger.
		Novarro dressed her in powder blue kidskin, with a white silk blouse and one of those new French brassieres underneath.
		Ramon circled her twice, then picked her chin up off her neck where it tended to settle, unfortunately, making her look fat in her photographs, which Pancho, after twenty-five years of dancing, swimming and riding, definitely was not.

		The subtitle "The Life of Ramon Novarro" is especially apt, for this is no mere behind-the-scenes glimpse, nor simply a recounting of a one-time cinema celebrity's film career, nor an attention-grabbing exercise in playing up the more lurid details of a complex and troubled individual's volatile life and tragic death.
		Ramon Novarro is certainly a worthy subject for such a careful and detailed analysis.
		Novarro's story is replete with opportunities for a lesser writer to sensationalize, criticize, and sermonize, but Soares presents the fruits of his obviously painstaking research with detachment, clarity, and a minimum of editorializing, thereby respecting the reader's intelligence to draw his or her own conclusions.

		If Valentino had a screen rival it was Novarro.
		But while both enjoyed success as two of the screen's early "Latin Lovers," Ramon broadened the range of his roles in an effort to stay solvent.
		Novarro's physique was also typical of the top male leads of the day; though not muscular in the modern sense, it did have a certain athletic trimness.

		Novarro other than knowing that he was in Ben-Hur and having a vague awareness of the brutal way in which his life ended.
		In the end, Ramon Novarro would make one bad choice too many--and it led to his brutal death and a court case that effectively splashed the very thing he had worked hardest to conceal from the public across the headlines of the world.
		In the process of examining Novarro's life, Soares also creates a memorable portrait of the world in which he moved, the great stars of the era, and the great failures of the studio system in handling Novarro himself.

		Besides "Mata-Hari" this is the only talkie starring Ramon Novarro, available, in vhs or dvd format, on the market, and thus one of the only chances to hear his pleasant voice and to check what a fine actor he was.
		Ramon Novarro was still a highly successful MGM star at this time (1934) He had just completed the successful "The Barbarian" (a great film which should be on video!!) with the lovely Myrna Loy.
		I think you will enjoy this film and if you admire Ramon Novarro as much as I do (he seems to be undergoing a revival in popularity of late thank god!!) it is a wonderful couple of hours of entertainment to see him in one of his last great roles before he left MGM.
