Hi,

I am researching some photos that I have of Rudolph Valentino and I am
trying to identify the woman pictured with him. Does anyone happen to
have a photo of Jean Acker or know where I can find one on the
internet? Also, has anyone ever seen any photos of either of Rudy's
weddings?

Thank you so much in advance for ANY information!

I have a piece of sheet music with her photo. I can scan it and send the image
to you as an attachment.
After Valentino died, Acker (or her agent) shamelessly created a song, "We
Will Meet At the End of the Trail," and dedicated it to Rudy. The sheet music
(in an obvious attempt to cash in on the lucrative post-Rudy commercial
necrophilia), bills the song as "a tribute by........Mrs. Rudolph Valentino."

Great picture of her. She looks vaguely like Louise Brooks, at least in this
photo.
