That's a picture of Ramón Novarro (left) and Frances X. Bushman in the 1925 version of Ben Hur. Novarro was born on this day in 1899, which means he'd be a really old dude if he were still alive. Really old. But he's not - indeed he died a really brutal death in 1968. Story goes he hired a pair of brothers for sex, but instead they tried to rob him, and they beat and tortured him to death trying to find out where the loot was hidden (there was no loot). And because this is the internet, there are naked pictures of one of the brothers, Paul Ferguson, online.
If you google it you can find more explicit pictures. Anyway I don't know. The internet is a weird place. It feels kind of wrong to end on pictures of Novarro's murderer, so let's end with Ramon. What a bright and sunny note to start a new week on, eh?

I've never seen any of Novarro's films. Any of you?
