		Today, Valentino's '20s dramas (including The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse, The Sheik and Blood and Sand) seem like exercises in high camp; it's hard to believe millions of women swooned with every flare of those nostrils.
		H.L. Mencken once called Valentino "catnip to women." He demonstrated that there is no such thing as over-the-top romance once we suspend disbelief and step into the movie theater: We want the burning eyes and the ardent declarations, and we want 'em now.
		Upon his death (at 31, from a perforated ulcer) two women committed suicide, and a riot broke out when hundreds who showed up for the funeral were injured in the crush to view his body.

		For awhile, Valentino held a job as a gardener in New York's Central Park when he became a nightclub dancer, replacing Clifton Webb (a future film star in pictures such as "Laura" and "Cheaper by the Dozen") as the dancing partner of an exhibition dancer known as Bonnie Glass.
		Valentino had an old friend in Los Angeles by the name of Mae Murray (the future glamour queen who would later star in films such as "Mademoiselle Midnight" and "Circe the Enchantress"), who found him work in his first film, "Alimony," in 1918, which lead to more minor roles in other films.
		The film was a big success, but the relationship between Valentino and Metro became bitter when the studio refused to increase Valentino's weekly salary from $350 to $450 during the filming of "Camille." Less than a month after "Horsemen"'s premiere, Valentino left Metro for Paramount Pictures, which secured him a weekly salary of $500.

		Valentino’s attachment to his second wife, the ballet dancer and costume designer Natacha Rambova (born Winifred Shaughnessy, in Salt Lake City), went deeper, but the influence she exerted on his career quickly made her unpopular with Rudy’s friends and fans.
		In the process of changing wives, Valentino managed to get himself arrested for bigamy: after his Mexican wedding to Rambova, it was discovered that his divorce from Acker was less than final.
		Onscreen, Valentino doesn’t appear effeminate, but he never looks more beautiful than when he’s lying prostrate or dead—positions, Leider points out, that he is frequently asked to assume.
