Interesting Fact: Oddly enough his father also died suddenly during the filming of a movie. The movie was The Miracle Man (1932).
My Mother's Favorite Movie: The Eddy Duchin Story (1956). She was a teenager when it came out and she loved Tryone as an actor. Tyrone said of Eddy Duchin that it was a shame that he died at such a young age. Tyrone would pass away during the filming of Solomon and Sheba (1959), two years after his statement.
As a teenager, my mother believed Tyrone Power to be one of the most handsome men alive. She was crushed when he passed away at the young age of forty-four. He was always the hero of the film and played the part beautifully. He is charismatic, sharp and tender. One of the best actors that ever lived.
The classic "Chopsticks" scene from The Eddy Duchin Story (1956).
