Description:

Valentino was the Latin lover of the silent screen. This biography includes the story of his life and includes why two wives walked out of his life - one on the wedding night - and examines his mysterious death and why people claimed he was shot or poisoned.

Synopsis:

Valentino was the hero-worshipped, legendary Latin lover of the silent screen, the smouldering-eyed fabled Sheik to whom the world's women swooned. The author talked to friends of the star wh ohave until now remained silent; and followed up leads, coming up with the truth about about his childhood, his sex-life, and his mysterious death. The book includes the story of his rags-to-riches life and reveals the answers to questions to: why two wives walked out of his life - one on thier wedding night; why he was arrested for bigamy; if he really was The Great Lover off screen, or if he was just a jumped up gigolo; what the taunt was that haunted him to the grave and why people claimed he had been murdered - shot or poisoned.
