Never forget, he was the first. There was no one for him to talk to about the phenomenon he created, no one to help.

No, New York was never really considered, except that when they were having the discussion, Natacha offered to place him in the Hudnut family plot at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. But under the circumstances, Ullman never seriously considered it.

Thanks Allan!

I will check ” The Valentino Mystique ” and get back to you.

Yes, I can well imagine that there were many fingers in the pie when
it came to Rudy’s resting place.

Do you know if New York City was
seriously considered?

Thanks,

Tina..

Tina, he probably did no more than talk to Maria. The Hollywood clan knew of her desire and perhaps she respected Hearst. There were a lot of people that had their fingers in the pie when it came to Valentino’s resting place. The source for the Hearst notation is from the New York American (which is a Hearst paper), August 28, 1926., as is noted in my book, The Valentino Mystique. Thanks.

Allan,

Can you tell us more about the part William
Randolph Hearst played in getting Rudy’s
remains to be buried in LA ?… or what
your source is ?

Thanks,

Tina..
