by David Bret, Valentino S Affairs A Two Act Play Books available in PDF, EPUB, Kindle, Docs and Mobi Format. Download Valentino S Affairs A Two Act Play books, In a career spanning barely seven years and just seven major films, Rudolph Valentino's name became synonymous with Latin passion. When his image flickered onto the screen, fans of both sexes swooned. In this play one sees the real Valentino. Here was a man who seemed to enjoy being dominated by his rapacious lesbian wives~a man blatantly extroverted, yet who was naively unaware that the manager he trusted implicitely had but a single goal, to manipulate him and take charge of his fortune for his own aims. And finally there is the warm, sensitive, charismatic, happy-go-lucky Rudy, a man with a biting, off-beat sense of humour, who when in the company of his male friends and lovers, could let himself go and truly be himself. David Bret is one of Britain's leading showbusiness biographers. He has published two biographies of 'The World's Greatest Lover': 'Valentino, A Dream of Desire'(1998) and 'Rudolph Valentino: Lovers, Friends & Foes'(2013). WARNING: this play contains strong language.

Download The Divo And The Duce books, At publication date, a free ebook version of this title will be available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. In the post–World War I American climate of isolationism, nativism, democratic expansion of civic rights, and consumerism, Italian-born star Rodolfo Valentino and Italy’s dictator Benito Mussolini became surprising paragons of authoritarian male power and mass appeal. Drawing on extensive archival research in the United States and Italy, Giorgio Bertellini’s work shows how their popularity, both political and erotic, largely depended on the efforts of public opinion managers, including publicists, journalists, and even ambassadors. Beyond the democratic celebrations of the Jazz Age, the promotion of their charismatic masculinity through spectacle and press coverage inaugurated the now-familiar convergence of popular celebrity and political authority. This is the first volume in the new Cinema Cultures in Contact series, coedited by Giorgio Bertellini, Richard Abel, and Matthew Solomon.
by Evelyn Zumaya, Affairs Valentino Ediz Speciale Books available in PDF, EPUB, Kindle, Docs and Mobi Format. Download Affairs Valentino Ediz Speciale books, On August 23rd, 1926, silent film star Rudolph Valentino died unexpectedly at thirty-one-years of age. His sudden death inspired mass hysteria among his fans. His grieving fans were not the only ones to mourn. His business manager and close friend, George Ullman, was appointed executor of Valentino's estate and faced the daunting task of settling the movie star's complex postmortem affairs. In this role, Ullman would find himself a key character in a byzantine tale of betrayal and subterfuge involving moguls, Valentino's relatives and sinister collectors. Affairs Valentino is not only the story of George Ullman's affiliation with Valentino, but the revised, documented life story of Rudolph Valentino. Affairs Valentino is an expose of the dross written about Valentino, as well as the shady dealings and alliances of collectors and myth mongers. As a result of her discoveries of previously unpublished documents and Ullman's lost personal memoir, Ms. Zumaya challenges the currently held studio-generated version of Rudolph Valentino's personal and professional life. This full color "Special Edition" includes a new Postscript by Ms. Zumaya in which she reveals her latest research, as well as seventy new images including photographs and newly-discovered documents."
