Was Rudolph Valentino Gay: The Pubic Hair Story

He was when I fucked him.

No, he wasn't.

according to the alist, an old gossip site with credible gossip, he was bisexual and a former escort, makes sense

The book referenced in the article, Secret Historian, is under appreciated. Like all biographies, there at be some errors, but the book itself, and its subject, Samuel Seward, are amazing.

He was bi.

Whoever said he was attractive? I mean he's not revolting and I will allow for the camera and photographs being somewhat old, but still he was no great shakes.

I thought it was common knowledge that he was bi.

I don’t associate Valentino with pubic hair for some reason. I imagine him lizard-like and smooth down there, taking a first class liner to Paris in order to have them depilitated.

No, the only real evidence anyone has that he was "gay or bi" was the fact his first wife was a lesbian and their marriage was not consummated.

He had a lot public affairs and was a womanizer.

About a decade ago, a friend and I visited Valentino's crypt in the mausoleum at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. We both took photos of each other in front of the crypt plate with my friend's digital camera, about four in total. The pictures were all blurry, almost like they were pixelated. All of the other photos on my friend's camera that we took (and there were many) were crystal clear. Make of that what you will.

At this point, how can anyone know...all witnesses are long dead and no one talked.

God, I'm gonna get this book! Sounds incredible.

I've written this before.

In the early 80s I worked with a guy in his early 30s who claimed when he was young he was a hustler in LA. He seemed very much the type.

He claimed he was hired by Navarro and said he was a sweetheart.

I asked him if the rumors about Navarro and Valentino were true and he was like oh god yes.

Think of it Valentino was a gigolo, the male version of a taxi dancer, an escort, and what have you. No #metoo movement for him.

He also knew the hustlers who killed Ramon and said they were total scum.

My grandmother was outside Campbell's Funeral Home in NYC when Valentino's body was lying in state. She was 18 at the time, and said it was pandemonium. Thousands of people in the street, and women fainting.
