My Favorite Glamour Portraits of…Rudolph Valentino

I discovered the awesomeness of Rudy Valentino fairly recently. It all began this summer, when Jean and I became obsessed with his version of the song Pale Hands I Loved, one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Too bad I couldn’t understand a word he was singing due to his unbelievably thick Italian accent. Anyway, Rudy shot up to become one of my favorite actors in a very short time. Here’s some of my favorite portraits (or sorta-kinda portraits) of him:

This picture is so cool because Rudy looks so  impossibly fake!

Rudy looks very cool and every bit the movie star in this photo. I love the men cigarette portraits!

You gotta admit, Rudy had an amazing costume in The Sheik (or was this Son of the Sheik?)

While watching Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, my perceptive mother exclaimed, “He has a whole JAR of gel on his head!” Well ma, here’s Rudy, with actually NORMAL hair!

Why are Rudy’s eyebrows so much more better-looking than mine???

This is my favorite Valentino photo EVER. I repeat, EVER. It’s the background on my laptop, for Pete’s sake!

This is an elegant, stylish portrait of Valentino. It’s pretty obvious he was a man of fashion!

I LOVE Rudy’s arm cuffs in this photo! He also pulls off white very well.

YUMMY YUMMY!!! For the spaghetti. I heard that Valentino had a KILLER recipe for pasta sauce. I ought to try that out.

That is some REAL agony going on here. Bona fide AGONY.

The usually clean-shaven Valentino had to sport a mustache for the end of Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He looks kind of strange in it, though.

Valentino’s costume for this film is INSANE. And his profile looks like the head of a coin. However, before I get mauled by Jean, the ORIGINAL head of a coin is Spencer Tracy.Valentino in this white sweater cracks me up. However, it is so fantastic that he’s in a fencing uniform!

I love pipe pictures, if you already can’t tell. His eyebrows are sick in this photo!

This is the ultimate Rudolph Valentino Is A Sex Symbol picture. Check out that stare!

A message from Rudy Valentino: FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN!  

Valentino has one of the nicest smiles in all of filmdom! And the nicest hats too!

I’m telling you Valentino has a wonderful smile! However, my Gable bias makes me think Gable’s dimples are nicer, although Valentino’s are cute.

Valentino looks ultra-masculine in this picture. It’s my second top portrait.

Lovely pouf on that turban! The lighting effects are awesome in this photo.

Something bad obviously happened. Before this picture was taken, Valentino performed his “Ohh crap!” face. This is the mushy sad face that I spoke about in the former post.

This is a HYSTERICAL photo! The guy choking looks hilarious, but Valentino’s face takes the cake!

I love Valentino’s nose. BUMPS RULE! and turbans rule too.

Mystery of the week: What’s going on under Valentino’s sweater?

Aren’t you just a sucker for puppy faces and fake moles?

I really I wish I put this picture in the Hollywood Halloween Extravaganza. It’s a staring contest gone BAAAD.

This is for y’alls who thought Valentino was a wimp!

  5. A Rudy collection sounds awesome! I have a Gable collection, so now I know that it’s normal to collect photos of your favorite man lol. Glad to be of a help in expanding your collection! :)

    I need to see The Sheik too. I’m quite sure it’s excellent. Valentino is a very talented actor.

    Valentino is the ultimate in ‘awesomeness’, so happy you’ve discovered him! The costume you reference is from The Son of the Sheik,once you see the movies you know the differences immediately,very different looks…both fabulous in their own way…but Valentino reached the height of male hotness in the sequel!

    • Valentino is a perfect specimen of masculinity! When I went to Hollywood last year I was always hoping that I would see his ghost…because a ghost Valentino is better than no Valentino at all!

    I have an autographed portrait of Valentino from Son of the Sheik. It was given to me by a woman in 1970. She wrote to the studio and got it in 1922
