Searching for my Father, Tyrone Powers

by Romina Power

The eldest daughter of Hollywood legend
Tyrone Power, Romina lost her father to a tragic
heart attack when he was only forty-four and she
was the tender age of seven. As an adult, left with few memories of him, Romina set out to get to know the man behind the legend. Searching for
My Father is the result of a more than twenty year quest during which she collected an impressive body of interviews and recorded conversations with those who had known and worked with him,among them many stars from Hollywood’s golden years. He was also a prolific letter writer, and in the book Romina shares many of his private letters.
Particularly poignant are the ones he wrote
home while stationed in Japan during the Second
World War. Searching for my Father is a work of
love, where memories and dreams combine to
give readers a truth that only the eyes of a daughter could capture.
