Tyrone Power Jr was born May 5th, 1913 in Cincinnati, OH. Power Sr had been a big theater star and was transitioning to movies when Tyrone visited him on the set. A divorce and an over protective mother kept Tyrone away from his father most of the time. Shortly after their reunion, Power Sr died of a heart attack while on set, and Tyrone decided he had to carry on the family legacy. On the advice of his wife Virginia, Darryl Zanuck hired Power and the young actor was soon working on the first of the fifty movies he made during his career. Tyrone wed a French actress named Annabella, had a relationship with Lana Turner, and had a second marriage with Linda Christian though he had a number of affairs with women and men during his adult life, including an on again off again relationship with Cesar Romero. Sadly, Power died of a heart attack just as his father did while working on a movie.
