I, too, found myself continually distracted by his eyebrows, which were overly plucked and/or arched.
shareWow - they ruined his looks messing with his eyebrows!! I agree - it's totally distracting!! I seriously didn't recognize him.

Power originally had the same thick, connected eyebrows his father had. Take a look at portraits of Power, Sr., and you'll see what I mean. The elder Power was a character actor, so I guess HIS bushy brows didn't matter.
"May I bone your kipper, Mademoiselle?"
If bushy brows by themselves make you ugly, how do you explain Brooke Shields? She has bushier brows than most guys and she's considered a beautiful woman, a famous model.
Mono-brows are what overstep the bounds of good taste. But it takes very little to get rid of a monobrow. I'm sure Matt Dillon, Peter Gallagher, Collin Farrell and plenty of other people would have monobrows if they didn't groom every day and shave or pluck or wax the middle part off.
Tyrone Power didn't have a unibrow even as a child. And I've seen photos of his screen test as well, and he didn't have one then.
shareActually most people don't start growing the uni-brow middle part until they start shaving, so his appearance as a child would not indicate any uni-brow potential as an adult. It could very well be that he had a few hairs there in the middle that he simply plucked out in order to become Mr. Handsome.
shareYes. I don't know when guys start shaving since I'm not one, but I do have photos of him in high school and he doesn't have one. And that doesn't mean he didn't pluck them out.
I can't remember what I said in my last post but I believe the point I wanted to make was that he was at Universal before Fox, and then went back to New York. At Universal, which was before he took a screen test for Fox, he did not have one. I have seen photos of his test at Fox as well. I think the unibrow thing regarding his Fox test is one of those urban legends.
Yeah. Considering how much "glamour" make-up most women wear & how different most of them look without it, plucking a couple of hairs out for a guy isn't much of an "unnatural" alteration of god-given looks. Also, remember that male movie stars also have professional make-up artists to make them look their best or quite different than they might be in real life when the cake comes off. So, the only way to know for sure if Tyrone Power was, in fact, the most handsome man who ever lived, is to look only at photos where he's clearly not wearing any movie make-up.
shareI've seen them, and he's drop-dead gorgeous, and I've also met several people who knew him. He was a very remarkable looking man. There's a gorgeous photo of him, a closeup, from Jesse James, and Marvin Paige, who knew Tyrone, said, that's exactly what he looked like. If you go to tyrone-power.com, it's the first photo on the left when you bring up the site. There are plenty of candids too.
The most handsome man who ever lived -- everyone's taste is different -- but for me he was (and Anne Baxter too, who said, "the most beautiful man I ever saw, no question."
The funny thing is, right before he died, he had a beard and was down where his boat was docked, and an old man came up to him and said he should be a movie star. And we all know how ill he was.
