His group of gay friends included director George Cukor and actors Clifton Webb, Lon McCallister (and his lover William Eythe), Cary Grant, Reginald Gardner, Van Johnson and bi-sexual billionaire Howard Hughes. Power was liked and admired by men and women alike. He was often seen in public with well known homosexuals, but he was so loved by the Hollywood community, that they turned a blind eye. Strikingly handsome Power had affairs with many of the attractive men on the movie lots. A practicing bi-sexual, Tyrone was involved with several men during his career, among them composer Lorenz Hart (lyricist of the Rodgers & Hart song writing team) and fellow actor Cesar Romero, who provided details about Power's same sex activity in interviews after Tyrone's death. Ohio-born movie star Tyrone Power (1914–1958) was the son of an actor.
