Did you know…
His tombstone includes the masks of Comedy and Tragedy and the inscription, "Good
night, sweet prince..."
Power kept a copy of all the scripts from his movies and had them bound.
His great-grandfather, Tyrone Power, wrote the two-volume "Impressions of America: during the years 1833, 1834, 1835" (London:
R. Bently, 1836).
He was sometimes credited as Tyrone Power Jr., when, in fact, he was Tyrone Power
III.
Tyrone Power was just twenty-three when he was honored with having his prints
placed in cement at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on May 31, 1937.
There is a chapter in the Bob Buck book, “North Star Over My Shoulder,” which
gives a detailed account of a trip that Ty, Bob Buck and others took to Europe
and South Africa in 1947. There are many delightful incidents that Buck reports
that offer many great insights into Tyrone.
