A tribute to legendary matinee idol Tyrone Power (1914–1958), this collection celebrates his enduring legacy in classic film across the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Known for swashbuckling roles in The Mark of Zorro, Blood and Sand, and Captain from Castile, as well as acclaimed performances in Nightmare Alley, The Razor’s Edge, and Witness for the Prosecution, Power was a versatile stage actor and 20th Century Fox star. Featuring biographical details, family history, timelines, and rare photos with co-stars like Loretta Young, Alice Faye, Kim Novak, and wives Annabella, Linda Christian, and Deborah Minardos, this tribute also honors his service as a World War II US Marine Corps pilot. Fans gather yearly at Hollywood Forever Cemetery for his annual memorial service, reflecting on a career that spanned from Hollywood adventure films and westerns like Rawhide to personal connections with icons such as Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth, and Oleg Cassini—a true “Last Star” of cinema’s golden age.
