#	Quote
1	I was always the hero - with no vices - reciting practically the same lines to the leading lady. The current crop of movie heroes are less handicapped than the old ones. They are more human. The leading men of silent films were Adonises and Apollos. Today, the hero can even take a poke at the leading lady. In my time, a hero who hit the girl just once would have been out.

#	Fact
1	He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6350 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on February 8, 1960.
2	Ramon Novarro passed away on October 30, 1968, less than four months away from what would have been his 70th birthday on February 6, 1969.
3	Novarro's murder served as the basis for the short story by Charles Bukowski called "The Murder of Ramon Novarro", as well as the song by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, "Tango", recorded by Peggy Lee.
4	His weekly salary of $10,000 for Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1925) was 80 times more than the $125 per week he got for The Prisoner of Zenda (1922) just three years previously.
5	Father was M.N. Samaniegos, a dentist. Mother was Elenor Gavilan. Three sisters: Carmen Samaniegos, dancer; Luz Samaniegos; Lenore Samaniegos, nun. Four brothers: Mariano Samaniegos, dentist; Eduardo Samaniegos, architect; Jose Samaniegos, chemist; and Antonio Samaniegos, film technician.
6	A book about his death, "Bloody Wednesday", was rushed into print. For some reason, very few copies are available today, making the book a collector's item.
7	Was close friends with Gabriel Navarro, the grandfather of rocker Dave Navarro. He chose to borrow Gabriel's surname for his stage name, but a secretary made a typing error, rendering him forever Ramon Novarro.
8	Allegedly, he used to rub vaseline on his upper gum to succeed in smiling also when his mouth was got dry by emotion.
9	Found beaten to death in his home in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles.
10	Cousin of Dolores del Rio and Andrea Palma.
