Description

The second Mrs. Rudolph Valentino

Ballerina, set designer, costume designer, actress, and second wife of Rudolph Valentino. She exhibited such control over his films that Paramount barred her from her husband’s sets; they divorced shortly afterward. Vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 Ball photo of Rambova in profile, signed in fountain pen, “Most sincerely, Natacha Rambova.” In fine condition, with a light crease above signature extending into a couple letters of sentiment. A scarce image of Valentino’s tempestuous spouse, who was bequeathed just one dollar in his will when he died in 1926. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
