Tyrone Power

Tyrone Power is best remembered as a handsome leading man of Hollywood movies, that good looks which he possessed since childhood. He came by his acting naturally as the son of British stage legend Tyrone Power Sr., with who he acted on stage as early as age seven. He worked as a theater usher in Cincinnati growing up, but the acting bug brought him back to Hollywood. The Power name initially got him through casting doors, which closed upon his father's passing in 1931. Those casting doors were reopened specifically by Darryl F. Zanuck, which led to a long term contract with 20th Century Fox, and movie stardom. His stardom went international with the movie Blood and Sand (1941). He enlisted as a Marine Corps pilot during WWII, following which his wanderlust led to travels through South America. He would return to Hollywood and movie stardom, which had an abrupt end with his sudden death in 1958 at age forty-four while he was filming what would be his last movie, Solomon and Sheba (1959), in Spain.
