Power's parents were notable stage actors and his great grandfather
was William Tyrone Power, a stage comedian in Ireland. His
grandfather was a concert pianist. So it was not surprising
that Tyrone would find himself as one of Americas favorite
actors. He began acting in school and after high school he
joined his father who gave him some acting lessons and advice.
Tyrone's film career began in 1932, but it was his role in
Lloyds of London (1936) that brought him overnight
success. He made 51 films along with various radio, TV and
theater appearances. He served as a pilot in World War II
and between 1942-1945 he logged eleven hundred hours with
a considerable amount under enemy fire.
