Jeanne and Bette

Tyrone Power and Loretta Young: Hollywood Studio Portraits

Tyrone Power and Loretta Young

Last Monday, May 5, I co-hosted a blogathon in celebration of Tyrone Power’s centennial. I also contributed an entry of my own for the event, a piece on the romantic comedies Power made in 1937 with Loretta Young. As I searched for images to accompany my post, I came upon several stunning Hollywood studio portraits of the two, made when they were very young, under contract to 20th Century Fox and co-starring in films together. I used one of the photographs to illustrate my post – but there were others, all of them elegant and glamorous and romantic. Here are some of my favorites:
