Rudolph Valentino and Jean Acker
Actress Jean Acker was involved in a lesbian love triangle when the smoldering Italian star Rudolph Valentino fell in love with her. She hoped marriage would save her from a scandal, and Valentino was unaware of her sexual orientation. On their wedding night in 1919, Acker locked her new husband out of their hotel room and they never consummated their marriage. He, however, did not pick up on her sexuality and wrote her love letters for months begging her to take him back. But eventually he must have been clued in and the two separated.
