That man is achingly pretty, isn't he? I liked him best in The Razor's Edge and Nightmare Alley, but his dashing roles are something I can't help but watching when they are on too. I wish I lived near California, but I'm in the good old Midwest. Well, I'll just have to make my own event and get out his movies from my collection!
ReplyDeleteI plan to go to the memorial next year, now that I know it's an annual thing. And -yes!- he is achingly beautiful. He slightly resented it, because people wouldn't take his acting seriously sometimes. Nightmare Alley is still one I haven't seen. I'll seek it out now. Thanks. By the way, have you read his daughter's book: SEARCHING FOR MY FATHER, TYRONE POWER? I'm reading it now and it's brilliant. It's really Tyrone, not the movie star, but Tyrone the man.
