Press Release Summary: Rosemary McKittrick has been a source for weekly art, antique
and collectibles news for almost 20 years.

Press Release Body: Santa Fe, April 11, 2008--"I think that success, particularly in
this business of acting, is a combination of fortunate circumstances and work,"
Tyrone Power said.

Fortunate circumstances clearly came Power's way. Just six months after his role in
"Lloyd\'s of London," the 23-year-old actor was honored with having his prints placed
in cement at Grauman\'s Chinese Theatre on May 31, 1937.

During his short career Power made 51 films. Some people attributed his success to
the fact that he was just so darn good looking.

It was hard at times to get past his hunkiness and see that the guy really could
act. There wasn't much he was afraid to try.

He made musicals like "Alexander\'s Ragtime Band" and "Second Fiddle." He made
westerns including "Jesse James" and "Rawhide." He made the dramas "Johnny Apollo"
and "Witness for the Prosecution."

He even gave comedy a try in films like "That Wonderful Urge," and "Luck of the Irish."

But it was in classic swashbucklers like "The Mark of Zorro" that Power won me over.
Hunkered down in a dark theater as a kid, I couldn't get enough of the smooth hero
in the black masquerade. As a heartthrob, he had screen presence in spades.

Today collectors appreciate Tyrone Power memorabilia and there are two ways to look
at collecting memorabilia related to the star. First there's the simple pleasure of
owning something related to Power that is no longer being made like vintage movie
posters, lobby cards and original photos.

Next there are items belonging to Power that will increase in value like costumes
from his movies or original signed scripts. From an investment standpoint they make
good sense.

On Dec. 9, Bonhams & Butterfields, Los Angeles, featured a selection of Tyrone Power
collectibles in its Entertainment Memorabilia auction.
