were u referencing hollywood babylon? there is no substantial evidence for any of the specific gay affairs you list. i am gay and wish there was, but this is hogwash.
The ultimate heartthrob, and I daresay the only one, for all the ones who came afterwards are copies, ripoffs, impostors,emulators,imitators,copycats,reproductions,caricatures,pretenders,wannabes, and so on and so forth...
At first i wasn't sure about Rudy, now i firmly believe he was completely heterosexual. Even though some people like to portray otherwise, there is nothing feminine about him. He is very manly in real life. I wish Rudy could talk for himself though. Maybe one day.
In my opinion, I don't believe he was gay/bi. I believe he was a true ladies man. And for the record, Freddie's voice was as beautiful as Valentino's looks!! Both left us too soon.
There are so many sterotypes.If a man is elegant and refined and has feelings,he is
viewed as gay.Sadly in America one is only thought of as a heterosexual man if he walks like an ape and is a cruel heartless jerk.That doesn't give much room for anyone to breath in,it's a box.
Just now reading your comment. You are soooo right. Sad, isn't it? I have some in my acquaintance circle who feel the need to prove that statement every day- (walk like apes/cruel heartless jerks) .
All the good ones are dead or exist somewhere else.
You're so right about the good ones either being dead or somewhere else.This peer group pressure to act a certain way is more common now than ever.People should be an individual.What they do is try to be a macho gender clone.
Oh dear Monique, you've opened a can of worms with this one! lol I actually don't believe for a minute Rudy was homo/bi sexual. All the 'post-passing' rumours can & have been proved to have no substance what-so-ever, but you are entitled to your views, my dear friend as is anyone else :) - your talent remains 'perfecto' and you know I love your sense of humour. Very entertaining vid, Honey xoxox
Oh. I just saw this video. Well, i hope Rudy didn't get it on with his own sex. YUCK ! It is a complete turn off to me because i am sexually attracted to him. But, that is just me. But, i won't listen to rumor. If he was bisexual, i will just have to ignore it because right now i can't get Rudy out of my mind. But, if Rudy was bisexual doesn't that give him the effeminate/feminine qualities that people were accusing him of, and in return made Rudy very angry?
Ohh man. Seriously, in my opinion he isn't Pansy Division "queer" but I think he WAS bi; I don't know, I didn't shadow him or shove a satelite down his chimney to watch, but in my gut and in my heart of hearts I think he did experiment with men. It's not that I fancy him that way, but I am not a person that believes a man is automatically "effeminate" because he's man enough to follow the desires of his heart & body. I think that would make him MORE man for being able to stay true to himself.
But, i thought that the term "effeminate" and "powder puff" meant having homosexual tendencies. I just think that Rudy should not get so mad if this isn't true. Guilty or not, he went so far as to punch a guy out over it. Pretty extreme. Well, i am straight just for the record ! Rudy is fine, and i stil find him sexy as heck !
Sorry Monique, I have to respectfully disagree with you here. I mean, come on, Richard Barthelmess???? Also, I hate to tell you this honey, but that's not even Blanca de Saulles in your slideshow...it's her mother. Unless your claiming that Rudy slept with her too.
Well, you were right-- I DID make a mistake, it was Blanca's mom instead of Blanca (sorry)..., thanks for pointing that one out. :oD I did finally see Blanca and she looks pretty different. Anyways, this was done in good humor AND was a poke at the rumors, some of which, were true (again, sorry). It's funny to see people fight for his sexuality so strongly. Anyways, this is only my opinion, and shouldn't be taken personally, unless you are him, in that case, I apologize Sir.
Hi, thanks for commenting! :oD I didn't mean to "insult" your image of what Rudy means to you; but, an opinion is an opinion and mine remains intact. This was 50% funny (like you said), but I am a firm believer in his bi-sexuality. He liked the men folk as much as he did the ladies, that's what I think/feel. It's cool to see people with different opinions, it makes life more interesting! :oD
Great video.
Valentino was IT back then.
When died, millions were in shock.
He had an impact like Elvis.

This is a great video. Rudy, Ramon Novarro, AND Freddie Mercury on vocals. Three of my favorite artists (and lover boys). Thanks for posting.

Of course those comments about him being gay/bi are attributed to good old jealousy/envy, which already existed back in the early 1920s.

Please re-upload this in viewable resolution? It's so low rez that it spoils your intent.
Also, red subtitles are hard to view for those of us who are colorblind to red. Thanks.

Since I have a sense of humour, I can look past the gay jokes. I know Valentino was strait and didn't sleep around like a cat in heat.
