Rosa Rosanova(1869-1944)
- Actress
Best remembered as Valentino's mother in "Blood and Sand," Rosanova
began her career on Broadway and later played several immigrant women
on the screen. In the film "Lucky Boy" (1929), George Jessell sang 'My
Mother's Eyes' to her just like Al Jolson sang to Eugenie Besserer in
"The Jazz Singer." With the advent of sound, her career came to an
end.
