The Valentino Curse

 Pola Negri

                                                         The Conjuring

In Hollywood, ther are two curses I would have loved to challenge.

The first goes back to the 1920;s when Rudolph Valentino bought a ring while filming the movie, The Sheik. The man who sold it, warned Rudolph of a curse attached to the ring. Months later, Ridolph dies from a perforated ulcer, at the ahe of 31, At his funeral, his wife, Pola Negri, took the ring off his finger, and her career in fims went from bad to worse. She died at the age of 80. 

The thing to remember is Rudolph was a lading man in an era before stuntmen were employed, so any bump, ot knock could have caused the ulcer. I have a lump on my kidney, caused by an accident 50 years ago. Most actors, and actresses go through a drought, add to that Pola was a star of silent era, when talkies were they new age.

The other curse really is too silly to be considered anything other than a joke. This involves the doll in The Conjuring series, which is supposed to move from room-to-room. This is a simple xase of someone forgetting where they put the doll.

There are some dolls that do creep me out.

There are dolls made with china faces which are so good they appear real, they do give me the shivers.
