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
Happy Birthday, Rudolph Valentino (May 6th, 1895 - August 23rd, 1926)
“Women are not in love with me, but with the picture of me on the screen. I am merely the canvas on which women paint their dreams.”
Happy 81st Birthday, Elizabeth Taylor

Jean Harlow on the set of “Dinner At Eight” (1933). Her white satin gown by Adrian was cut on the bias and so form fittting she could not sit down in it, so MGM constructed this “reclining board” so she could rest between takes.
