Tyrone Power: der Fluch einer Hollywood-Dynastie

Tyrone Power was one of Hollywood's biggest stars—and died at just 44 years old, right in the middle of a film scene. The true story behind the curse of an entire acting dynasty. He was the "King of Hollywood," the hero of "The Mark of Zorro" and "Blood and Sand," a real war pilot—and in Germany, primarily known as the father of singer Romina Power. But behind the radiant smile lay a dark family history: His great-grandfather disappeared at sea, and his own father died in his arms of a heart attack. Tyrone Power knew the danger, kept his heart condition a secret—and collapsed during a sword duel on the set of "Solomon and Sheba" in 1958. His deepest wish, a son, was only fulfilled two months after his death. A life lived between fame, war, Marlene Dietrich, and a fate that repeated itself across four generations. 0:00 The Father Who Died in His Arms 2:42 A Name Like a Curse 5:58 From Sick Child to King of Hollywood 13:35 From Movie Star to War Pilot 16:09 One Wish: A Son 19:36 Marlene Dietrich and a Secret 24:23 The Nightmare in Spain 26:31 Death on the Film Set 31:19 The Son He Never Saw Which Tyrone Power movie did you see first—or do you only know him as Romina's father?
