“Tyrone Power was the god of my adolescence….I would return to see his pictures
over and over again. I would go first thing in the morning and stay through the
last showing at night."
-- Sophia Loren (beautiful Italian actress, who began her film career in 1950
and continues to work today)*
“Working with Ty Power was exciting. In those days, he was the biggest romantic
swashbuckler in the world. Murderously handsome…But what I loved most about Ty
Power was his wicked sense of humor.”
-- Maureen O’Hara (leading lady for “The Black Swan” and “The Long Gray Line”)*
“Tyrone Power was one of the genuine professionals among the actors I’ve dealt
with. I suppose “craftsman” might be another proper term.”
-- Henry King (director of 11 of Tyrone’s films and personal friend)*
“People always seem to remember Ty with sword in hand, although he once told me he wanted to be a character actor. He actually was quite good -- among the best swordsmen in films.”
-- Henry King (director of 11 of Tyrone’s films and personal friend)*
“I’m proud of the fact that Ty and I got along so famously, both on screen and off. We were good friends.”
-- Henry King (director of 11 of Tyrone’s films and personal friend)*
"I hope my own boys will grow up to be like him."
-- Henry King (director of 11 of Tyrone’s films and personal friend)*
“Tyrone Power, as a star, was right up there with Clark Gable and Gary Cooper.
And being in his physical presence was almost overwhelming. He was so beautiful,
so charming, so gentle, so sensitive, and so kind -- to everybody…. Sometimes
Tyrone would drive over from 20th Century-Fox where he worked to have lunch with
Linda. We were all thrilled just to see him -- he was so sensational looking.”
-- Debbie Reynolds (actress who worked with Tyrone’s wife, Linda in 1954‘s “Athena”)*
"I love that guy. Be sure you bring him back to me." (said to Bob Buck, Tyrone’s
co-pilot, as they were ready to leave September 1, 1947, for Europe and South
Africa)
-- Lana Turner (Tyrone’s romantic interest off-screen, in 1947)*
