Tyrone powers gay
Power was liked and admired by men and women alike. His community of gay friends included director George Cukor and actors Clifton Webb, Lon McCallister (and his lover William Eythe), Cary Grant, Reginald Gardner, Van Johnson and bi-sexual billionaire Howard Hughes. Books and articles written about Dominance relate that the great lgbtq+ love of Power's life was a lowly technician at 20th Century Fox, with whom he had a sexual and idealistic relationship that lasted for decades.

The only full decade that he worked as an thespian was the 40s so it's particularly fitting that he is included in this segment of the blog but it's even more fitting that he gets this early posting because he was an enormously popular movie star.

Tyrone Power
I saw NIGHTMARE ALLEY yesterday. Such a great movie. Directed by Edmund Goulding, who was a gay, of course. I've been reading Jeanine Basinger's "The Star Machine" (which has a picture of a young and gorgeous Tyrone on the cover) and she quotes a manual that claims the film is the quintessential example of a b feature ruined by a movie production principles.

Looking at his wiki page, I was surprised to locate absolutely no bring up of his bisexuality. Surely it's a foregone conclusion at this point? I checked the discussion page and it seems it's been brought up several times, but it's quickly been nixed by some tedious hall monitor on there as organism without foundation. He even uses the basically homophobic ancient canard about homosexual men wanting everyone who is excellent looking to be gay. Below is a passage from a post on Tyrone at the Gay Influence blog:

Tyrone Edmund Influence III[2][3] (May 5, – November 15, ) was an American actor. From the s to the s, Power appeared in dozens of films, often in swashbuckler roles or romantic leads. His better-known films include The Highlight of Zorro, Marie Antoinette, Blood and Sand, The Black Swan, Prince of Foxes, Witness for the Prosecution, The Black Rose, and Captain from Castile. Power's own favorite production among those that he starred in was Nightmare Alley.[4] Though largely a matinee idol in the s and early s and known for his striking looks, Power starred in films in a number of genres, from drama to light comedy. In the s he began placing limits on the number of films he would make in order to devote more time to theater productions. He received his biggest accolades as a stage actor in John Brown's Body and Mister Roberts.
One of his boyhood friends was Wil Wright, Jr, owner of the Wil Wright's Ice Cream Shoppes chain.
