It caused little apparent trouble for his long career as a star of westerns and adventures. Little effort was made to quash the private lives of gay stars as long as they were discrete and worth money to the studio. Journalism in the thirties and forties rarely made mention of homosexuality among the rich and famous. Confidential did so later, but only vaguely and often falsely and randomly. Affairs between men and women were much more likely to be picked up by the media of the day, that's why a studio head might overlook or not be aware of an affair between men but be concerned with one between an man and a woman. There's no reason to doubt that Tyrone Power may have been involved with men, there's nothing wrong with that. Randolph Scott was also gay, and said so once he was older and out of the business.

In hollywood gays hadleigh in his interview with Romero states that Power was bi-sexual and Romero talks about Power indicating a long sexual relationship sharing a house when making captain from castile and more. There is the the power bio. by Hector Arce that you also discount. In Maureen O' Hara's autobio. she writes about finding John Ford having sex with her male lead, which seems to be clearly ty power (this was during the making of the long gray line). Its odd that you take female takes on power as truth yet discount any male account of his bi sexuality. Wilder as you mention in your piece was a notorious homophobe, and both Laughton and power no doubt knew this and would go out of there way to hide this from him. Also it is wildly known that Annabella was a lesbian, and I don't buy the Zanuck story, do you have proof of this. who told you this. Romero's career did go south of the border because of his refusal to marry under pressure from the studio, and if the Acre book was so full of lies why didn't the Power family sue?

This post is part of a lengthy q&a with Tyrone Power researcher Ciaccia. (I need to clarify that. I can see how it would be confusing to someone who lands on this page.) Now, William Eythe was Lon McCallister's lover for some time (if I remember correctly, until the time Eythe died). While working on the Novarro biography, I met a number of McCallister's friends. Unfortunately, McCallister wouldn't discuss the issue in public. And I'm glad you enjoyed "Beyond Paradise." Bill,

Whether Ty Power is gay, bi, straight or what-not, how do you know that William Eyth is gay? Just because his career petered out, as happens to hundreds of actors? What is your source on that? Just curious, as you mention that so many people say/write someone is gay without giving sources. You did a good book on Ramon Novarro by the way. But I’ve got to ask.
