“I shall always remember Tyrone Power as a bountiful
man. A man who gave freely of himself. It mattered not to whom he gave. His concern
was in the giving. I shall always remember his wonderful smile. A smile that
would light up the darkest hour of the day like a sunburst. I shall always remember
Tyrone Power as a man who gave more of himself than it was wise for him to give.
Until in the end he gave his life.”
-- Caesar Romero at Tyrone’s funeral.
“He was the most beautiful man I ever saw. No question.”
-- Anne Baxter (leading lady in “Crash Dive” and “Luck of the Irish”; supporting player in “The Razor's Edge”; stage tour “John Brown‘s Body”)*
“Now there is a dream man!” Kilgallen, by Lee Israel
-- Dorothy Kilgallen (columnist who also became a personal friend)*
“Ty was the only movie star I ever had a crush on as a child. I told Ty that
Patsy Lou Neal had once written him a passionate love letter and wondered why
she had never received an answer.”
-- Patricia Neal (leading lady in “Diplomatic Courier”)*
"Tyrone had maybe one little fault -- he didn't know enough to say no to someone
like Mr. Zanuck. I'm sure he wanted Tyrone to belong to Fox, but it didn't stop
my love for Tyrone or Tyrone's love for me."
-- Annabella (Tyrone’s first wife)*
“Ty was everybody’s favorite person, and all agreed that he was that great rarity
-- a man who was just as nice as he seemed to be. With his flashing good looks,
graceful carriage, and easy laughter, it was no surprise that he was a Pied Piper
to women -- they followed him in droves wherever he went -- but Ty was a simple
person, with a great down-to-earthness and modesty about himself."
-- David Niven (actor and personal friend)*
“Power was the most agile man with a sword I’ve ever faced before a camera. Tyrone
could have fenced Errol Flynn into a cocked hat.”
-- Basil Rathbone (villain in “The Mark of Zorro”)*
“Ty was warm and considerate. He had a beautiful face.”
-- Gene Tierney (leading lady in “Son of Fury,” “The Razor’s Edge” and “That Wonderful Urge”)*
