Memorial honors Rudolph Valentino in Hollywood
About a hundred mourners gathered at Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery for Rudolph Valentino's 55th memorial service. Rudy Vallee admitted finding the idol attractive, insisting he was not homosexual, and actress Mary McLaren recalled working near Valentino at Universal. Two veiled women arrived, claiming ties to Dietra Flame, triggering organizer W. Gerdes Testa to dismiss them as attention seekers. Mortuary manager Bob Dorsch noted the cemetery hosts over 70,000 burials including Tyrone Power and Cecil B. DeMille.
