His words. Ty Sr., was never given the artistic freedom he longed for. He had to fight Daryl Zanuck ferociously to make "Nightmare Alley". Zanuck kept him on a tight leash. Ty once remarked: "I became a movie star before I became an actor" It was a allusion to his fabulous looks which were a double-edged sword. Gave him roles but overshadowed his acting acumen, therefore he was underrated. I believe he would have dethroned Clark Gable as King of Hollywood if given the freedom he longed for. He was much better looking, more charming, better actor, and a beautiful speaking voice. Tragic loss. I heard an interview with Tyrone Power Jr., He was shocked how little is known of his dad!

I will look into Fox Movie Channel for sure. I miss real TV. Today movies are not the same and the actors are not as good as they used to be. Tyrone Power …those eyes…that smile! :) Thank you Andre.

I hardly ever watch new ones and NEVER watch reality TV. My Tv remains on TCM. Tyone Power is a gorgeous talented man and I loved him in all his movies. He died way too young. He is missed.

It was a sad day for me when I learned of his death in 1958! I most certainly am a fan of Tyrone Power..partly because he was my friend and our paths crossed many times in many places of the world.

Some people who call themselves "movie buffs" only watch mainstream stuff...like Will Farrell, Transformers, The Hulk..crap like that. A real movie fan knows who all the old stars are...Power, McCrea, Hedy Lamar on and on and on...These kids don't get to see real movies they don't want to watch "black and white" stuff. They're only into the high tech pretend kinda movies or the cartoon movies...or stuff like The 300...etc etc. Ok that's my rant.
