Question: did you attend séances with June Mathis?
“Yes, I did indeed attend a few with her, voice mediums and more informal gatherings where we called out to those on the Other Side, imploring them to respond. And talk they did, though not always in complete sentences. June was quite a fan of automatic writing, a ‘seraphine’ of sorts. Had an angelic voice too, her inner self I mean, in tune with the ages. It was old hat for her, that sort of work.” ~ Rudolph Valentino
Question: as Rudolph Valentino, did you have a true love?
“My Mother was one and in her fashion, Natacha. And of course there were others too, glimmers I would call them rather than full-fledged loves, of all colors and stripes. Yes, like a multi-colored flag is love, any part of which is extremely rewarding. We all have some experience with true love while in the body. That is just one of the things we come to know more viscerally. Ecco fatto (there you have it.”) ~ Rudolph Valentino
Question: are you and Natacha in contact now?
“We are not together per se in the Great Beyond. Our work has been completed. Actually, we finished what we had to as Rudy and Winifred, who she really was ~ as you know. We can communicate freely in the Astral, as desired, but we do not gravitate. I would liken it to old friends/flames who keep in touch from time to time. That said, we have tender spots for each other. She communicates with some in the flesh also, mostly around the arts and creativity. Muse-like she is and still with a preponderance of female energy.” ~ Rudolph Valentino
“We must again discuss how nigh is the Astral. It is so close that we have only to peel away the veneer. The Astral Plane is the real. The Earth Plane, on the other hand, is like a painted flat in a theatre, without much depth. Think of it as a beautiful oil on canvas, the colors of which are continually blending and reformulating in new and exceptional ways. Know then that the screen upon which we dream while in the body is nothing but a screen, and we always have the power to change what is being projected.
Most people don’t consider the Astral much until they have a brush with death. One of the goals of this book is to make it more prominent in people’s minds, not to engender obsession but to create balance, and to remind everyone that what lies within the scope of their vision is not the only truth.” ~ Rudolph Valentino
“Hugging is akin to eating comfort food, also like being rocked, and oh how we all love that! Hugs are joy incarnate, a tangible lesson in being AT-ONE. Whenever two people embrace, the Universe smiles and Love is realized, solar plexus to solar plexus. The effects? Healing, nurturing, being able to go inside each other without penetrating the boundaries of the flesh. Indeed, we could equate hugging with a soul to soul rendezvous ~ an alignment opportunity that goes far beyond the two entities in question.” ~ Rudolph Valentino
Question: what is your favorite film and how do you remember it?
“Actually I had several but will pick one today to discuss that is often overlooked in my lexicon of performances. Paramount wanted a hit so they came up with an offbeat story in the form of Moran. Do you think the title character was written as a lesbian? No, but as a woman doubtful that a man could fulfill her, at least not the kind that frequented her father’s ship. An interesting pastiche, Moran. I had to tip her over, so to speak, make her more supple, encourage her to be open to love. This I did and I stretched in my role as did Dorothy (Moran was played by Dorothy Dalton) in hers. We were pals and conveyed that fact in the scenes we shared. I got her (or rather my character got her) to crack open the door, the one that leads to the heart ~ where passion lies, sweet and artfully constructed. Out of my character’s element too; actually both of our characters were ‘at sea’ by dint of being together, of attempting to be a couple.
I felt carefree in this role, like I did not have to prove a thing. The physicality came easy. I relished the fight scenes, and there was a moral: even odd ducks find love, and tenderness is afoot in the strangest of circumstances. Life-changing events, that’s what took place in “Moran.” Audiences did not appreciate this film at the time but in retrospect we could have improved on some of the details.
Salt of the earth meets a salt of the sea, or playboy meets working girl, a theme as old as the pyramids. There was some sadness too, wistfulness, as both characters are a little out of the mainstream in relation to their peers. Moran and Ramón had that in common. Dandy goes to sea and finds out he loves it, also loves a girl who is rather strange for the most part, definitely not the lacy sort or the landlubbing kind. The villains were fun too, broad strokes. Certainly not a masterpiece yet on some levels instructive, this was “Moran of the Lady Letty.” ~ Rudolph Valentino
