One Hundred Years Ago Today

Exactly one hundred years ago today, on August 13, 1925 at two o’clock in the afternoon, Natacha Rambova met with George Ullman to sign away any further role in her husband Rudolph Valentino’s business. In effect, the divorce happened then.

I was the first to bring out the story of that parting — the scene at the train station, her ouster from Cosmic Arts, Inc., her control over the contracts — all revealed in the records I discovered.

That complete file of records still exists… somewhere. In a collector’s vault? In the Valentino family’s possession? Only weeks ago, Tracy Terhune posted a single document from that file in a YouTube video. Was I the only person who asked where he got it?

This anniversary matters. It is true history. The fact that this meeting between Ullman and Rambova — and what it meant for Valentino — is still being buried is no accident.

Am I bitter that the research Renato and I fought to uncover is mocked and demeaned? No. I’m furious. Furious that so few rise to defend Valentino’s real history. Furious at the censorship and the calculated rewriting.

There’s another layer to August 13th — it was also George Ullman’s son Bob’s second birthday. Decades later, Bob would be the one urging me to find those records and tell the truth at last.

The charlatans carry on, polishing their egos and playing gatekeeper with Valentino’s legacy. One hundred years later, the same games continue — but the facts remain.

Some of the Contributions of Affairs Valentino

These are a few of things we contributed to the Valentino history... I will be adding to this but these are what comes to mind initially... for the record the following is but a partial list of the things we discovered:

1. The fact the S. George Ullman was exonerated completely by the California' Court of Appeals, that the money he owed the estate was money Alberto Valentino already spent which Ullman dispersed to him believing he was a rightful heir.
2. The entire story of Frank Mennillo and who he was.. 
3. That Rudolph Valentino was paying the monthly mortgage on Teresa Werner's home on Sycamore Street in Los Angeles.
4. That a second page of the will turned up missing which was, by the process of elimination, removed by Lou Mahoney.... Valentino was dead and Alberto was not yet in Los Angeles.
5. The documentation of who George Ullman was, what happened to him as a result of the estate disaster.
6. That Alberto Valentino claimed he lived in Turin... when there is no record he ever did.
