Italian-born actor (1895–1926) who became the most legendary sex symbol of the silent era. His premature death from a perforated ulcer induced a wave of fan hysteria unmatched until the modern “paparazzi” age, including riots and suicide attempts by grief-stricken fans. Rare ALS in Italian, signed “Rodolfo,” on a 5.25 x 3.5 photo postcard of Palm Springs, November 13, 1920. Postcard to his sister, Maria Guglielmi. In full (translated): “I am in the desert to rest after having finished ‘Four Knights of the Apocalypse.’ Write me soon.” In fine condition, with some light toning and soiling to correspondence side and some light silvering to image side. Valentino is very scarce in handwritten correspondence; this example is particularly appealing a it mentions the film that launched him into super stardom. Accompanied by an original vintage movie program for the film referenced here in this letter, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
