EDITORS COMMENTS
Rudolph Valentino, the iconic Italian-American film actor, is seen here in a rare moment of relaxation during his daily exercise routine with his beloved dogs in 1926. Valentino, known as the "Sheik of Hollywood," rose to fame in the 1920s with his romantic roles and magnetic screen presence. In this photograph, he wears a jumper, tie, and jodhpurs, reflecting the fashionable attire of the era. His two dogs, one woolly and the other with a knitted collar, accompany him faithfully as they enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Tragically, Valentino's life was cut short at the age of 31, following an emergency operation for appendicitis and gastric ulcers. The complications from the surgery led to peritonitis, and he passed away on August 23, 1926. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the private side of the film star's life and his deep affection for animals. Valentino's untimely death sent shockwaves through the world, leaving his legions of fans heartbroken. His legacy as a romantic icon and cultural symbol of the 1920s continues to endure, making this photograph a significant piece of film history.
