Probably mentioned already up-thread, the story of Novarro being choked to death on the dildo modeled after Valentino's cock was created by Kenneth Anger for his book Hollywood Babylon, who felt the need to add lurid "details" to an already horrific death. No one within Novarros's circle ever mentioned the object, it was never found among his estate and, most importantly, the coroner mentioned among contributable factors of Novarro's death to be choking on massive amounts of his own blood without any mention of blunt force trauma, etc to his throat. In short, a fabricated story which, over the time, became urban legend and accepted as "fact".
