Film historian, Jeanine Basinger has written a wonderful new book which includes a spot-on chapter on Ty Power (called, "Disillusionment: Tyrone Power")! Terrific reading. Great pics as well!

I just finished reading this book . . . it is amazing! It reads like a novel and is completely fascinating. I agree the chapter on Ty is very well written and intriguing. I checked this out from the library but enjoyed it so much I'm going to buy it.

I'm glad someone wrote about TP. Will have to check this out. Thanks for mentioning it.

It IS a fantastic book! She's one heck of a writer and, as you say, it reads like a novel. I had no idea of its release until I was in a book store a few weeks ago and perusing through it saw the (something actually new written on Tyrone Power! Who would have thunk it :-)?!?!).

I have just one pet peeve however and that's with her statement that she doesn't think that "Nightmare Alley" is his best performance (but "Witness/Prosecution" is) and that fact that he ultimately didn't stretch in "Nightmare.." etc. I dunno, all his powers for narration in the scene towards the end where he's describing the Geek to his hobo buddies, are in full force and you forget you're watching Tyrone Power. And if an actor can 'disappear' like that, that's the do all to end all in my opinionated opinion :-)!

Had to love the Lana and Ty/Ty and Lana chapter as well.
