12 Jul 1936 – In Hollywood

When you enter the reception room at the MGM the chap who takes your name is just as likely as not to be Jean Valentino, nephew of the late Rudolph Valentino. He’s been working there quietly, since March of last year, and is, they do say the sole support of his father Alberto and mother. Jean is dark like his uncle but doesn’t resemble him. He’s in his yearly 20’s and has no acting ambitions. He tinkers radios in his spare time and would like to be a sound engineer. One of these days, probably he’ll be sending his own name in.
