While working for Valentino, Ullman took on and created many duties that would come to define being a talent manager in later years. After Valentino’s premature death in 1926 Ullman went on to create his own talent agency, representing many former silent film stars such as Baby Peggy, Eric von Stroheim and Theda Bara.
He was the producer of the 1925 American silent drama film What Price Beauty?, which was directed by Tom Buckingham and starring Nita Naldi, Natacha Rambova (Valentino’s wife at the time, although they divorced the same year) and Pierre Gendron. The film also featured the future star Myrna Loy in a small role; her performance garnered widespread interest and boosted her career.
Ullman was married to Bee Ullman from 1917 until his death in Hollywood, California in 1975.
OSCAR ODD MCINTYRE (February 18, 1884 - February 14, 1938) was a New York newspaper columnist of the 1920s and 1930s, who used the byline O. O. McIntyre. His writings described as cleverly combining a small town point of view with urban sophistication, The Washington Post once referred to his column as “the letter from New York read by millions because it never lost the human, homefolk flavor of a letter from a friend.” For a quarter of a century, McIntyre’s daily column, “New York Day by Day,” was published in more than 500 newspapers.
He died on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1938, of a heart attack at his apartment in Manhattan, New York City, aged 53.показать меньше
