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.”
Rudolph Valentino breaks the fourth wall—and my heart. From a humorous short subject, “The Sheik’s Physique.” Happy birthday, Rudy!
Happy birthday to my favorite actress, Audrey Hepburn!
solo se que existo y vivo, para amar y ser amado,
empezare a encontrarte en cada mirar,
intentare escuchar de los corazones su palpitar,
te encontrare lo se, ya no en mi mente,
ahora toca realmente rosar, tu piel tocar.
Ed Vebell illustration to “You’re Sexier Than You Think!”, Sunday Mirror Magazine, March 7, 1954.
Cutline: “The standards of beauty and perfection personified by movie queens are ‘phony and illusory,’ noted psychologist [Dr. Albert Ellis] contends and assures average woman she’s more attractive than she thinks.”
