Photograph article dated August 24, 1963 partially reads, "After a four-year absence, Hollywood's legendary and mysterious "Lady in Black" returned to the crypt of Rudolph Valentino during brief memorial services on the 37th anniversary of the silent screen idol's death. The mausoleum of Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery was silent as onlookers watched the "Lady in Black," heavily-veiled on crutches, slowly carry her wreath of a dozen red roses Friday to Crypt 1205 where Valentino's body is interred."
