George Ullman

The S. George Ullman Memoir

In the days following the sudden death of Rudolph Valentino in 1926, his business manager and closest friend, George Ullman published a book titled, Valentino As I Knew Him. Before his own death in 1975, Ullman wrote a personal memoir about his life "behind-the-scenes" with Rudy. This memoir is a treasure trove of new anecdotes and information about the movie star's personal and business affairs. Lamentably, Ullman was, and still is, targeted by a few detractors who have aggressively misrepresented his story for decades. It was only after the recent discovery of Ullman's remarkable memoir, that an investigation was conducted into these allegations and documents uncovered which at last revealed the detailed truth about this iconic pioneer in celebrity management. This first publication of The S. George Ullman Memoir is accompanied by the entire transcript of Ullman's 1926, Valentino As I Knew Him. This publication is authorized by the Ullman Estate.
