What's My Line? - Tyrone Power; Wally Cox [panel] (Mar 27, 1955)

[@tommyodonnell9]

His voice. His looks. His acting skills. Definition of a true movie star.

[@MothGirl007]

Perfection - there is noone like that today in films.

[@johnl5316]

he died 3 years after this appearance

I find it sad that Tyrone Power would pass only three years after this interview. What a marvelous actor he was.

[@yeahnoonecaresifyouarefirst]

I find it even sadder that his wife was pregnant for 2 more months so he never got to meet his child

[@smurfydude77]

I can see why Wally Cox wasn't one of the regulars. Say what you want about his style of humor, but man, what a time sink.

[@CyberStriker]

He has no personality, he's not funny at all. He's also dumber than a bucket of rocks, and doesn't even try to find out what the guests occupation is.

[@wellcom4530]

I know! He took so long on the skunk breeder, that it was starting to get annoying 😑

[@echeaz]

Although I feel that Wally seemed overwhelmed by the prospect of questioning the guest (perhaps he was never in such a position), his innocence and naivety was endearing like what a little brother would display when entering a conversation with grown ups. Hope to see him on as a guest again to see if he improves next time.

[@jasonmcdaniel345]

My grandfather's brother (my grand-uncle) was friends with Tyrone Power before Power became famous. He was also friends with Ruth Lyons, who was a longtime radio and TV talk show host. Lyons and my grand-uncle drove to Hollywood with Tyrone Power when he got his first gig. I have a few letters that Ruth Lyons wrote to my grand-uncle, as well as one from her husband, who asked him to call Ruth and try to convince her to resume her show when she was in a deep depression after the death of their daughter Candy.

But in case you've never noticed that's how the arts usually go, the Directors get better, the writers get better etc. SURELY YOU GET THAT, OR DO YOU? IF TYRONE POWER WAS BORN IN 1942 instead of around 1913 maybe he would have had the benefits of todays actors who most had made an absolute career from grammar school on up and into college with acting, pretending, ACTING, ACTING, no real other skill, ACTING, PRETENDING TO BE SOMETHING they're NOT, LIKE SOMETHING Tyrone Power really was, a real HERO!!!!!!!! Also, as a matter of fact, Tyrone Power himself was like that, he comes from generations of a Family who were actors. Now, don't you think if Tyrone wanted to not serve, don't you think he could not have gotten out of it? HE DIDN'T, HE, UNLIKE SOMEONE LIKE YOUR MAKE BELIEVE HERO little de niro served.

@@shirleyrombough8173 A massive heart attack, it apparently happened while he was filming an extremely physically demanding scene. Heart disease ran in his family, his father also passed of a heart attack while he was present, and I believe some reports state he was quite a chain-smoker towards the end - and he also drank. Without exercise and healthy-eating, he was basically at a higher risk than most. I could be wrong, but I believe I read that a couple years before his death he had some tests done on his heart that were unfavorable (such testing was quite primitive at the time), but that he failed to follow up on this. He may have benefited from a blood thinner like warfarin, which was available at the time.

[@philippapay4352]

@Rapunzel z - Wally Cox was a well-read man with great comic instincts and this was a bit of a send-up of his Mr. Peepers character from TV. He was bumbling for the comic effect. Though, it could be said he dragged each bit out a bit too long for a half hour program with a game to be played, so it became less than funny. This is a flaw in the work of Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean when he stretches a comic bit out just too long, so that it becomes irritating and loses the humor. I have often laughed at him 'til I cried and ended by wanting him way off camera.

@@shirleyrombough8173 Skunk spray was or perhaps still is used in some high class perfumes for enhancing their "staying" value. I'm not certain how that worked, but a similar spray from civet cats apparently has a much more attractive scent when highly diluted. Skunk oil is also sold as a scent for baiting traps. Some predators apparently do eat skunks. Also, "deskunked" skunks--those who have had their scent glands removed, are sometimes kept as pets in the home, although I personally don't consider them all that entertaining in the home. In the wild, they are much more interesting. They are nocturnal and not into much interaction with humans.

In my view, John was the very heart and soul of the show. His delight in both right and wrong guesses from the panel is so endearing. And his often misleading, but rarely false, explanations are delightful. Add in his poise and politeness, and he was the perfect panel moderator. Without him, the show would not have lasted.

[@ptownfreddy]

He was the most suave, courtly and intelligent host of his day. I’m tempted to compare him to Alex Trebek, but that does a disservice to both. Daly really earned his shekels on a live telecast where he had to think on his feet, so to speak. In many episodes you can see him subtly looking at an unforgiving clock. I love his courtliness to men as well as women, asking after they signed in about his pronunciation of their names: “Is that right, sir?” And in a day when African-Americans were rarely seen on TV, let alone respected, he elated me concerning the Black celebrities who were occasionally the “mystery guest.” For example, he didn’t call Pearl Bailey “Pearl,” it was “Miss Pearl.” I’m sure this pleased much of America, and drove the rest to throw objects at their televisions. Good! RIP newsman and quiz host extraordinaire…John Charles Daly!

[@deborahd.7281]

I like how Arlene Francis pronounces Tyrone Power, she pronounces it very softly and gently without much if any accent on the syllables, almost like an early grade school teacher calling attendance. When when I heard his name pronounced by other people they seem to say it powerfully with accents on the first syllables of each name maybe.

If all the panelists were like Wally Cox, this show would have been cancelled early in its first season. This goes to show how important it is to choose the right permanent panelists, it makes all the difference. Thank God for Arlene Francis, my favorite, as well as Dorothy and Bennett, though I'm not a big Bennett fan. Even John Daly, though his long winded explanations can be exasperating, he still remains likeable. Another person making the same statements might be deemed unlikeable.

To get the role of Stanton Carliste in "Nightmare Alley" (1947) he had to fight and then the same studio boycotted the film because they thought that if he played those kinds of character they would lose a handsome and blockbuster movie star like him. And paradoxical it is now considered a cult film, in which he performed masterfully. Unfortunately, 20th Century-Fox and Hollywood didn't consider him as he deserved as he meant a lot to the film industry and he gave them so much. When he fulfilled his contract with the studio, he started filming movies in which he could really show what a good actor he was. Too bad he didn't have enough time to continue showing it. I'm an inconditional admirer of Tyrone Power so I like all his films. I have all them and I watch at them frecuently.

What a goegeous profile he had.!!!

[@haybee1246]

Loved Ty Power - measured at 6 ft tall, was very cute, even with the facial hair! Funny Guy!

[@reginascruggs3326]

The gorgeous Ty Power. IMDB describes him as frail and sickly as a child. His father had died of a heart attack. In early 1958 he had a cardiogram which indicated an irregularity, but he made a decision not to follow up on it: any bad news might have rendered him uninsurable. He died that November, age 44.

[@robertfiller8634]

I don't see anything online at any site to support your claim about him having been "a sickly child who wasn't expected to make it to adulthood".. What source do you have for your statement?

I loved Tyrone Power in the wonderful 1930's film "Marie Antoinette" (with Norma Shearer in the title role) - he made pony tails on men look very attractive back in the day of that period picture. Incidentally, my mother absolutely loved Tyrone Power so much so that she wanted to name one of her boys (that being me) "Tyrone." My Dad refused to go along with the idea and I have to say I'm glad Dad won that argument ;-)

2 observations spun from reading the comments! 1) Wally Cox has 79 credits in his IMDB filmography, was nominated for 2 Emmys and has a star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood. 2) Witness For The Prosecution is one of the greatest films of all time. Three supernova talents appearing together on one screen!

[@waynej2608]

So true. Ty Power, Charles Laughton and Marlene Dietrich -all brilliant in WFP. And Wally was a talented guy.

[@preppysocks209]

@@waynej2608 In my opinion, Power did not hold a candle to Laughton and Dietrich in that film. He seemed very flat in his performance to me. The other two were outstanding. Tastes differ.

[@patricia7823]

Absolutely exquisite casting

[@patricia7823]

@@waynej2608' how do ya like me now ducky?" Charles Laughton etc

[@waynej2608]

@@preppysocks209 I thought that Power was well cast and held his own. The role was something of a departure for him, although he was even more impressive in two earlier and also, 'different' films, Nightmare Alley and The Razors Edge. These were not his usual Warners Bros fare of swashbuckling types, romantic matadors, etc. I believe that he was a better actor, than some of his roles suggest. I feel the same way about Errol Flynn. Power was also good in Rawhide and The Sun Also Rises(with a great supporting effort by Errol Flynn). But, it's true that Laughton and Dietrich were exceptional in the film. Laughton especially, benefited from more character driven roles. Clearly. I love Dietrich in Orson Welles' Touch of Evil. Brilliant film, with a brilliant 'touch' by Marlene, as was the case in Witness for the Prosecution.

[@butziporsche8646]

I just re-watched "The Mark of Zorro" a couple of days ago. Linda Darnell was such a cutie and Tyrone playing opposite of Basil Rathbone was awesome. Basil is still my favorite Sherlock Holmes.

[@margareteplaetzer3127]

Luckily, his films are mostly on KZbin. This is the absolute best documentary I have ever seen. I am always looking for facts on this underrated actor, not unsubstantiated rumors. I’ve been watching all his films, and no matter the role, there is joy to be found in his 100% devotion to his craft. He deserves reassessment-even though he was dismissive of his screen roles, there are wonderful films that showcase his talents for comedy and drama.

I remember watching this show as a kid. How refreshing to see it again. I ditched cable over ten years ago with no regrets because it was all garbage. Even with the low resolution black and white image and the low budget set this was better quality entertainment with better quality people on the show.

Tyrone Power was married to the beautiful Linda Christian and they had two daughters, Romina and Taryn, who were blessed with an oversupply of beauty genes.

In the movie 'All about Eve'.....Gary Merrill's character Bill is off to Hollywood to do some directing.....he asks Thelma Ritter's character Birdie what she wants him to tell Tyrone Power....she replies...."just give him my phone number, I'll tell him myself".......great line ... great movie!
