Good article...

FINALLY someone is saying it...Tyrone was left off of a list he deserved to be on. I see it happen all the time. I remember when they did those "AFI Top 100 Greatest Movies/Actors/Scenes" shows, Tyrone was never to be found.

I think there's a combination of reasons...#1 Only a few of his movies were memorable or stood the test of time (Jesse James, Black Swan, Zorro, Nightmare Alley), #2 he died in the late 50s and therefore fell out of recent memory, #3 things like this Turner special interest stuff go on.

People still remember him. He was mentioned in "Flags of Our Fathers" only briefly. I remembering watching an early episode of "The Simpsons" and someone mentions him (yes, the Simpsons). And we still love him.

Nice article.

And for the record...Jesse Bradford looks nothing like Tyrone. Bradford looks more like an Osmond in my opinion.

Re: Good article...

Agreed. It's downright weird, imho. (Although I substitute either Long Gray Line adn/or Witness for Prosecution for The Black Swan.)
