The Valentino Memorial Service is the oldest annual event in Hollywood history. Starting in 1927 it continues to even today. Here you will get to see every Valentino Memorial (good or bad!) from 1996 to current. Songs, prayer, historical retrospective and custom videos are all part of the Valentino Memorial Service. The original legacy tapes have all been professionaly digitized and are presented exclusively on this channel. It's the fulfillment of my desire to have these made readily available to the public for historical purposes as well as giving people who are interested in Valentino, a peek into the past Valentino Memorials that have been held. Our motto is "We Never Forget" These recordings are proof positive that he is not forgotten. Tracy Ryan Terhune

Beautifully Done. Thank You.
Natasha was Right. Rudy Wanted a Home Maker and She Was Not That. They Were 2 of The Most Talented Individuals To Ever Grace Earth and Had They Stayed Together, They Probably Would Have Been Like Chaplin and Purchased Their Own Studio. There Is The Old Saying: “Be Careful What You Wish For. You May Get It.” Being That We Are All Light Energy Beings That Do Not Die, I’m Sure Rudy Got To Experience First Hand That Family Life He So Desired. And I’m Sure It Wasn’t All He Expected. The Lesson Is, When You Love Someone You Stay With Them Even Though In This SHORT LIFE, They May Not Desire Kids. Maybe In The Life Rudy Lived With Natascha, They Were Supposed To Just Be On That Endless Honeymoon. All Is Cycles. Enjoy and Make The Best Of The Cycle You Are In Cause Soon, It Will Be On To The next One To Follow That Dream. Blessings and Happy Trails To All.
She had something the studios wanted...Valentino. Do they set out to destroy her.
Valentino lived when times were really quaint!
Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed that. 💙💙💙
Very nice, tho Rudy's decision to sign a contract excluding Natasha from any part cost him his marriage, I can say, by looking at the way he looked at her in pictures, that he did truly love her! ❤ I surely hope they met again in heaven, a place where all those things that seemed to matter here don't matter anymore!
😢Valentino ha saputo scegliere, una donna bellissima, splendida, una donna di classe, elegante, naturalmente nulla togliere al grande Valentino.
Thank you beautifully done. Rest in Eternal Peace Mr. Valentino. No one can compare to you.
Beautiful presentation!!!!!!!!!! I love the background music!!!!!!!💗
Very nice!
Very sad. Marion suffered from some type of mental illness. She was delusional. May she forever rest in peace.
Such a sad and tragic story. May Ms. Benda rest in peace. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Though tragic and sad, it is still a part of Valentino history. As always, thanks for sharing this...
Well done! A few of these photos I hadn't seen, so thanks for creating this vid! 😊
Stunning.....

Her fashion sense is so inspiring.Though it is vintage now, it was unique and modern,though from what I've learned of her, she herself was into vintage for her time period and seemed to take pieces of the vintage to create futuristic and seriously striking, unique fashion.She is a fashion icon and had such an interesting life, and on the outside so beautiful and on the inside so intelligent.I hope she reconnected with Valentino and her friends and her dog Bimbo in the afterlife.I so would love having a seance ' to attempt to communicate with her or at least to thank her for her amazing costume designs and influence in the fashion world even now.She seems like someone that would be a very interesting dinner guest.....Id definitely invite her to a fancy party in Europe somewhere... what an artist this woman was.I cannot get enough info about her!
Read "Madam Vakentino". I can't remember the author but he did a great job of explaining who she was. She led an exciting life from being spirited away at age 5 by her mother from an abusive husband/father who had been a Civil War hero to becoming the stepdaughter ( and taking hus name) of a magnate to being sent to boarding school in Europe as a child to being shot by her Russian lover to fleeing the Soanish Civil War with her dog to becoming an accomplished Egyptologist. Valentino was just a part if it.
Thank you for this video. There were a few photographs of Rudy that I had never seen before which, for me, is always a treat.
Rodolfo Valentino llegó a América para triunfar.
We remember you Rudy always and forever.
Happy Birthday to you, Rudy. 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂 🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭 🎬🎥🎞️📽️🏬 👍👍👍👍👍 😀😀😀😀😀
Happy Heavenly Birthday Rudy. ❤
Por dios tantos recuerdos. Un hombre de siglos.
Thank you for remembering Rudy. It’s truly appreciated!
Thank you so much Tracy for always remembering Our Rudy!
Thank you so much for posting this! I love her! She doesn't get the appreciation she deserves
I wonder who has that camera now!
I own the camera, it's part of my Valentino collection
This was really interesting. Thanks for sharing...
Thanks for this tribute to a very special lady, a woman born in the wrong age.
Very nice tribute and remembrance of Natacha.
Made me cry. Lovely.
Wonderful video, thank you
Alberto looked so sad and out of touch and with good reason. He must have been shocked to receive the news that his super famous brother had passed away.
Pola Negri really did feel a genuine loss with his passing. It was merely his death that did them part, not a divorce or any other matter. She probably envisioned a future with him that would last forever and it became a broken dream she kept at heart 💔 for the rest of her life. She kept in touch with Albert Valentino and may have really regarded him as a true brother-in-law that never came to be. Either way, RIP 🪦 to both Rudolph Valentino and Pola Negri. After almost 61 years following his passing, they were reunited. I imagine he awaited her at heaven’s entrance with open arms for her undying love and affection.
Beautiful monument. ❤
Thank you for this informative video and celebrating Pola's everlasting legacy.
This video was beautifully thought out. I really don't know what to think of Pola's actions. She seemed to be a very dramatic woman. I'm sure that she had deep feelings for Rudy. May she forever rest in peace.
I also see nothing wrong in Pola’s behaviour at the double funeral of Rudy. She really loved him. He may have loved her on the rebound of his divorce from Natacha, but she clearly made him as happy as she could when they were together. She could be very temperamental and jealous when he seemed to be playing around like with Sheila Loughborough. He wasn’t ready to commit himself to her but also didn’t want to lose her. No one knows how things would have worked out if he had stayed alive. It must have been terrible for her to lose him and also see what his once fabulous body looked like in death, how terrible he had suffered and how emaciated he was. She never realised how ill he was and that he had no chance of survival. She was making a movie (Hotel Imperiale) at the time and leaving the production would have cost the studio an enormoud amount of money. If she had known about the severity of his illness I am sure she would have left the film to be with him. She must have felt so quilty for not having been at his side when he needed it most. All that made it so much harder to come to terms with his illness and death. She says as much in her autobiography. That she married rather quickly later with Serge Mdivani is very understandable even though it was stupid. Mdivani started to visit her a lot after Rudy’s funeral, comforted her and also looked a lot like Rudy. He didn’t love her and only took her for her money. He ruined her financially completely and also had affairs with other women. She even has been pregnant with his baby but got a miscarriage in a thunder storm. She never got pregnant again. She remained friends with Rudy’s family and helped them whenever she could. I think the Hollywood media committed character murder on her, because it sells. She certainly wasn’t perfect, but the ridiculing of her grief she didn’t deserve.
I agree with you that there was nothing wrong. Everyone grieves in their own way. She was a bit theatrical but that was her right. I wanted to point out how she continued to respect Rudy long after she didnt have to. 1933 she was fretting about him being in a borrowed grave. 1976 she sent a telegram to the Academy that was read to the audience there for a 50th anniversary of his passing, and 1981 sent the huge spray of flowers to Alberto's funeral. Not to mention her private visits to the Valentino crypt with Antonio Altamirano. This previously unreleased information shows a softer side to Pola than the public ever knew of.
I totally defend this woman's right to fall apart at the sudden death of her lover. Not many woman had the privilege of having Valentino as their man. Pola Negri was keenly aware of what she had lost. I believe I might have behaved worst than she did. 😨😢🥺😓🙄😰. RIP PN
Very valid points you bring up, and I agree with everything you said
Something that I have only recently discovered, that Pola Negri lived and passed in my hometown of San Antonio! Sadly I was just a kid, but I would have loved to have met her. I'm so glad she never forgot Rudy. Thank you for posting!
Something tells me that, despite the theatrics at his funeral, Pola Negri really did incur a genuine loss with his passing. Who knows? Had he lived, she may have been the right wife who would have had his children and they would have grown old together. The possibilities regarding their relationship that ended only account of his passing will forever be a mystery. She may very well have envisioned a life with him that would continue into old age and it may have been a broken dream that forever remained with her at heart 💔.
@@SonyaOutThere Wells said. Sadly, that will forever be a mystery.
Chissà se Natascia Rambova ha mai visitato la sua tomba...
Natacha non ha mai visitato la tomba di Valentino. Morì 40 anni dopo, nel 1966
This was a fabulous video! Thank you so much!
Very interesting. Well-done, thanks for posting.
Thank God it's still there! We all know how America loves to destroy our legacy buildings!
Its so nice to see Rudolph Valentino honored. Thanks
Thanks for the tour, never knew it existed.
Was that his Step Brother? Sure don't look alike, his nose is larger that Rudys.
The bust is magnificent. It did Rudolph Valentino justice. So sad and event as he died too young. You can see the sorrow in Alberto's and Ada's faces.
👍👍
Impressive video - enjoyed seeing photos Valentino actually took!
