Rudolph Valentino (May 6th, 1985 - August 23rd, 1926)  Photo by Edward Steichen

The death of Valentino is a terrific loss to the screen.  He brought it happiness„ beauty, and art as perhaps no other has.  His loss can never be replaced; there was and can be only one Valentino; a great artist and one of the finest gentlemen it has ever been my privilege to term ‘friend’.” - John Gilbert

Alice Roosevelt - 1902

Theodore Roosevelt’s beautiful eldest daughter, who not only cut her wedding cake with a sword, defied all the conventions of her day regarding women and carried a dagger in her pocketbook, but who  also had a pillow embroidered with her most famous quote on her couch; “If you haven’t got anything good to say about anybody, come sit next to me.”
