More of those damn OAPs blighting my life. 😀
One old lady who was slowly making her way past the cinema on her Zimmerframe saw me standing by the door and told me that she didn’t like modern films and hadn’t been to the cinema since Rudolph Valentino.
Lying so-and-so. I suppose it’s possible as she was a very old lady but as he died in 1926 I think it is highly unlikely.
Perhaps it was his untimely death that caused her to stop going to the cinema as he was mourned by a great deal of people. Over 80 000 mourners turned out for his funeral and Hollywood legend relates the story that thousands of women lined the streets, causing riots. Several of his fans were even said to have committed suicide.
