Wed, 6 September 2006  August 23, 2006 marks the 80th anniversary of Rudolph Valentino's passing. The grief and frenzy that followed his untimely death in 1926 has led to an unprecedented annual memorial service that is held in Hollywood to this day. Rudolph Valentino is the only star afforded this kind of tribute. One of the mysteries of the annual ritual is the story of the "Lady in Black." Now known to be Ditra Flame, who better to talk to than Tracy Terhune, author of Valentino Forever, the chronicle of the annual memorial services? We've also got some rare audio of Ditra, herself!

Fri, 1 September 2006  Not only do I admire Rudolph Valentino (obviously) but I'm a big fan of Buster Keaton, too. I'm a card carrying member of the International Buster Keaton Society (aka Damfinos). Why isn't there a card for Valentino? Hmmm... On October 6-7, 2006 the 12th Annual Buster Keaton Convention will be held in Muskegon, Michigan. To tell us all about it I'll be speaking with the President and founder Patricia Tobias and the Vice President of the Damfino's, Tracey Doyle. The Damfinos is a great group and if you love Buster, you should head to Muskegon for a most enjoyable weekend filled with activities. Go to the Damfinos website for more information. Comments[1] |
