A Tribute to Dan Ullman

While researching and writing Affairs Valentino, I worked with S. George Ullman's two surviving children, Bob and Bunny. Lamentably I never met George Ullman's oldest son Dan, because he passed away in 1979 at sixty-one and only four years after his father. 

Dan was a well-known and prolific screenplay writer in Hollywood with a long list of credits to his name. I share a few links to his work to grant insight into the iconic little boy in the pictures. Dan remembered “Uncle Rudy” well and was eight years old at the time of Valentino's death. The images I share are the property of the Ullman family and the image of Dan on strike was taken in 1973 and more can be learned about that strike here:

Dan Ullman on the right. I would work with the baby on Rudolph Valentino's lap, Bob Ullman who would vindicate his father's memory in the weeks before his death.
