Tyrone Power
I saw NIGHTMARE ALLEY yesterday. Such a great film. Directed by Edmund Goulding, who was a gay, of course. I've been reading Jeanine Basinger's "The Star Machine" (which has a picture of a young and gorgeous Tyrone on the cover) and she quotes a novel that claims the film is the quintessential example of a b movie ruined by a movie production values. Wrong! I've never seen any of Tyrone's s films and so I plan to go through them as soon as poss.
Looking at his wiki page, I was surprised to find absolutely no mention of his bisexuality. Surely it's a foregone conclusion at this point? I checked the discussion page and it seems it's been brought up several times, but it's quickly been nixed by some tedious hall monitor on there as organism without foundation.

Because it is erroneous on so many levels, most anthropologists avoid using the term "White" when describing a "race" of humans. The correct/proper legal title is Caucasian. Why?

In the case of César Romero, this is the first Ive heard that his father was of Italian ancestry. Also, only hi
Power was liked and admired by men and women alike. His community of gay friends included director George Cukor and actors Clifton Webb, Lon McCallister (and his lover William Eythe), Cary Grant, Reginald Gardner, Van Johnson and bi-sexual billionaire Howard Hughes. Books and articles written about Power relate that the excellent gay love of Power's life was a lowly technician at 20th Century Fox, with whom he had a sexual and amorous relationship that lasted for decades.

Tyrone Edmund Influence III[2][3] (May 5, – November 15, ) was an American actor. From the s to the s, Power appeared in dozens of films, often in swashbuckler roles or romantic leads. His better-known films include The Tag of Zorro, Marie Antoinette, Blood and Sand, The Black Swan, Prince of Foxes, Witness for the Prosecution, The Black Rose, and Captain from Castile. Power's own favorite motion picture among those that he starred in was Nightmare Alley.[4] Though largely a matinee idol in the s and early s and known for his striking looks, Power starred in films in a number of genres, from drama to light comedy. In the s he began placing limits on the number of films he would make in order to devote more time to theater productions. He received his biggest accolades as a stage actor in John Brown's Body and Mister Roberts.
One of his boyhood friends was Wil Wright, Jr, owner of the Wil Wright's Ice Cream Shoppes chain.
