Quotes from the memoir:

1) “In the writing of my book “Valentino As I Knew Him” it was necessary to omit many pertinent observations because there were then many living persons who might have felt aggrieved. Now however, I believe that only a few people remain, so that I am able to reveal many true incidents concerning Valentino which I had to repress before.”

2) “Since this is an entirely honest account of the last days of Rudolph Valentino, I think that I should mention his “great romance” with Pola Negri. The “romance” between Rudy and Pola Negri was not as great as Pola later professed it to be. They did spend some time together, of course, but Rudy actually had no intention of marrying Pola or anyone else! They did have several telephone conversations while he was at The Ambassador Hotel in New York and she in Hollywood. I didn’t try to listen to his words until one night at about 12 o’clock midnight, which was 9 o’clock in Hollywood. Angry words were spoken and be became quite upset. The last words he ever said to Pola were “Well you can go to hell!” and slammed down the receiver. He only told me something to the effect that she could go out with that “so called Prince if she wants to, but not with me.” These were the last words ever spoken to Pola by Rudy! In June of 1927 Pola married her Prince Serge Mdivani!”

3) “Our company employed three publicity men, not for the usual purpose of creating sensational publicity for Rudy, but primarily to keep his name out of fan magazines and newspapers, because Rudy frequently got into some difficulties because of his reckless driving and because there were numerous attempts by love stricken women to get him into compromising situations and to then try to get their names in the press. These publicity men were chosen because of their connections with the magazines and newspaper and did, on several occasions, prevail upon their friends to “kill” false and planted stories.

For example, there was a pretty and young girl who, through various tricks, got into the studio and on the set almost daily. Wherever Rudy went this girl was near. I spoke to her as firmly as possible and she promised to stay away. But I saw her several times again and pointed her out to our watchman. It didn’t make much difference until one evening she hid herself in his dressing room awaiting his return from the set. Luckily I came in with him but she set off a loud series of accusations against Rudy and threatened to expose him to the newspapers if she didn’t get work in the picture. She actually did go to the newsroom at the “Times” office, but they had the foresight to check with our publicity department and obtaining the facts; they dropped the story.”
