In August of 1925, silent film icon Rudolph Valentino and his second wife Natacha Rambova separated in advance of their bitter divorce a few months later. In the weeks following their highly-publicized separation, Natacha Rambova sought refuge in spiritualism and the occult. She attended seances, studied theosophy and made the acquaintance of a deep-trance medium and psychic, George Wehner. Although George Wehner would become Rambova's constant companion until 1930, he has been, to date, a mere footnote in Rambova's life story. Astral Affairs Rambova broadens the context of this time in Rambova's life and delves into her relationship with Wehner.
George Wehner would infamously prophesize Rudolph Valentino's death in a seance held with Rambova and her family in their chateau on the French Riviera. This prophesy would take place only a few days before Valentino died and the psychic would write an account of this seance in detail some years later. Astral Affairs Rambova is based upon his account and on Wehner's own autobiography, A Curious Life, published in 1929, in which he reveals his relationship with Rambova and her family.
Astral Affairs Rambova is constructed in three sections; the story of Wehner's Valentino death prophecy, the messages, or "Revelations" received from Valentino after his death via Wehner's seances and a follow up section detailing what happened subsequently to the main characters of the story.
Valentino and Rambova authority, Evelyn Zumaya presents Astral Affairs Rambova in full color with some eighty images and three relevant articles; "The Valentino Death Prophecy" by George Wehner as published in Mystic Science Magazine in 1938, "An Introduction to A Curious Life by George Wehner" by Talbot Mundy and "Her Years as Valentino's Wife" by Herb Howe published in The New Movie Magazine in December of 1929.
