The trip he took with Cesar Romero - it was not just the two of them, it was a whole group of people, including people from Fox, as Fox okayed the trip. Ty Jr. tells a wonderful story about Tyrone and Eva Peron on that trip which ends with "and she ended up in his bed." Eva was exactly his type. You have to also remember that Cesar was known to be gay - if Tyrone had any insecurities, or if there had been rumors - he was still at Fox, remember - he would have avoided Cessar, not hung out with him in public ever. Part of William Eythe's problem with Zanuck was a "friendship" Eythe had with Lon McAllister. One more thing, Daniel.

I have Maureen O'Hara's book. She says that she went to Columbia for costume sketches for The Long Gray Line and walked into Ford's office and saw what she saw. Tyrone Power was in New York working at the time Long Gray Line was in pre-production. The movie was made at West Point as well. Columbia did many films a year, and I'm sure a lot of people were there filming and doing pre and post-production. She doesn't identify the man, although people assumed it was Power and that actually has been posted that it was. Well, it wasn't. Even if I hadn't seem timelines for the film and for him, the polite greeing she and the actor exchanged, you knew it wasn't Tyrone. He was a friend and former co-star and always joked and laughed with her. I've never understood why John Ford didn't lock his door. This is the type of thing I'm talking about.

But wasn;t Power under contarct with Fox in 1954/55? I've herard a lot of stories regarding Ford's sexuality. Maybe the guy was Robert Francis, but he never was a great leading man, was him? About the Power - Romero "affair", I also read somewhere that they both went to Rio during the war and they had a great time overhere. Anyway, as the author mentioned, rumors do increase as the years go by. I always liked Tyrone Power and the q&a was really awsome.
