Prince

In his photos,
I see not a Latin lover,
not an Arab or a sheik --
but a gentle, dark-eyed man,
beautiful, intelligent,
called by Hollywood and heaven
(some consider them the same)...

Madre de Dios,
you left your image on his heart,
A cloakful of roses
for the winter of his life.

Avalon,
This was a very nice tribute to Novarro. Thanks for linking back to me and the photo credit!
Ramon is my early Hollywood favorite.
