A very interesting woman.

"An archive tracing the life and work of a woman who was a dancer, set designer and the wife of film star Rudolph Valentino before becoming a renowned Egyptologist was recently donated to the Yale Egyptological Institute in Egypt, part of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations."

"...1949, the Bollingen Foundation had awarded Rambova a large grant for a two-year project, directed by Piankoff.5 This collaboration led to the publication of several important Egyptian monuments within the Bollingen Series Egyptian Religious Texts and Representations, published initially by Pantheon Books of New York (volumes 1 through 4) and then by Princeton University Press (volumes 5 and 6). Rambova edited the first three volumes of the series Egyptian Religious Texts and Representations: The Tomb of Ramses VI (1954), The Shrines of Tut-ankh-amon (1955), and Mythological Papyri (1957), all authored by Piankoff, and Rambova contributed an important albeit until now little utilized essay entitled “The Symbolism of the Papyri” to Mythological Papyri."
