Ramon Novarro was a huge star in the silent movie era. After the death of Rudolph Valentino, his international chic made him Hollywood’s newest sex symbol.

Of course, while women were swooning over Novarro, he was actually interested in dudes.

One night, two guys were sent from a sex service to “entertain” him, but since they thought he had a large sum of money at home, they tried to rob him and ended up killing him instead.

And how did they do it? They suffocated him -- by shoving a dildo down his throat.
