ABOUT THE BOOK
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 Romina 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.
Tyrone was a prolific writer, and in this 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. Romina’s journey to make the memories and recollections of her father her own became an integral part of her own life.Searching for My Fatheris a work of love, where memories and dreams combine to give readers a truth that only the eyes of a daughter could capture.
