Dubbed \"The Great Kisser,\" Valentino was \"Hero of the Flappers,\" the matinee idol in a string of silent movie hits. He introduced the Apache dance in 1919's The Eyes of Youth, the tango in 1921's Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and the flamenco in 1922's Blood and Sand. His two turbulent marriages were fodder for Photoplay readers, with his masculinity regularly critiqued and lampooned in newsprint. Nevertheless, no one expected his death to create the international sensation that left hundreds of people injured and caused suicides around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.08 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 22, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42716657745983,"sku":"9781500613853","price":9.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/60ebe6605bba58e7e61b12f53a850941.webp?v=1765075711","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/valentino-dead-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
