This paper doll book from 1979 is quite clever. There is a "basic doll", who unfortunately looks a bit more like Barbie's Ken than Valentino, with Ken's "perfect physique", and large "manly jaw".It has 21 costumes, mostly from his films, and also features some of his co-stars: Beatice Domingues dancing with him in "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", Nazimova ("Camille"), Agnes Ayres ("The Sheik"), Gloria Swanson ("Beyond the Rocks"), Nita Naldi ("Blood and Sand"), Wanda Hawley ("The Young Rajah"), Bebe Daniels ("Monsieur Beaucaire"), Louise Dresser ("The Eagle"), Vilma Banky ("Son of the Sheik"), and his wife Natasha Rambova, dressed for the dance tour they did together.Rambova had much to do with some of his costumes, as she was "artistic supervisor" for many of his films. She hired Broadway designer Adrian for "Monsieur Beaucaire", and he continued with a long and successful Hollywood career, doing designs for Valentino, and many others.This is a curious piece of Valentino trivia for fans of the great silent film star...I'm giving it a fairly low rating because of it not looking more like Valentino...but if you don't mind him being "Ken the Sheik of Araby", you'll find it amusing.

In this, one of his earliest works, Tom Tierney has captured the magic and dark sensuality of the silent era. Rudolph Valentino and his leading ladies are beautifully rendered. This publication will appeal to both fans of the star, movie buffs, paper doll enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates graphic art.

This is the cutest collection ever!! I'm a big fan of Valentino so I love this, as any fan would!!

i loved it!
