No—Guess Again! Recently there was a mammoth Actors' Fund Benefit held in Los Angeles in which all the movie stars appeared. And the Argentine tango in which Shirley Mason and Viola Dana impersonated Natacha and Rodolph Valentino is even now the talk of Hollywood

Rudolph Valentino and Natacha Rambova (born Winifred Hudnut), immediately after they were married in Mexicali, Mexico, May 13, 1922, only two months after Valentino obtained the divorce from movie actress Jean Acker.

Under California law at the time that required divorcees to wait a year before remarrying, Valentino was charged with bigamy and arrested. They legally remarried on March 14, 1923, in Crown Point, Indiana.
