Italian immigrant turned actor, pop icon and heartthrob Rudolph Valentino had his first big break in "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" which was the first film to break $1,000,000 in revenue. After starring in many other silent films through the early 1920s, the "Latin Lover" collapsed in New York due to appendicitis and ulcers. Rushed to surgery, doctors were unable to save Valentino, and he died days later. Over 100,000 people attended his funeral, prompting riots and reported suicides by despondent fans.
