Tyrone Power is best remembered as a handsome leading man of Hollywood movies, that good looks which he possessed since childhood. He came by his acting naturally as the son of British stage legend Tyrone Power Sr., with who he acted on stage as early as age seven. He worked as a theater usher in Cincinnati growing up, but the acting bug brought him back to Hollywood. The Power name initially got him through casting doors, which closed upon his father's passing in 1931.
