Franco Nero, who Famously played Rudolph Valentino in 1975’s “The Legend of Valentino,” once again portrays the voice of Valentino’s ghost in “Silent Life” as his life and death unfold.
“Silent Life” stars Terry Moore as the Valentino’s mysterious mourning fan, “The Lady in Black,” Isabella Rossellini, Franco Nero, Sherilyn Fenn, Paul Rodriguez, Monte Markham, Jeff DuJardin, and Director Vladislav Alex Kozlov as Rudolph Valentino.
This event honors the 100th anniversary of Rudolph Valentino, who rests here at Hollywood Forever. Nero, who first portrayed Valentino on screen in 1975, now returns to embody his spirit anew —a poignant passing of the torch across a century of Hollywood history.
