Tyrone Power Sr.

Tyrone Power Sr. is the kind of figure I love to champion precisely because history tends to overlook him. London-born, he built his name on the stage before crossing into early cinema, and today he's mostly remembered as the father of a more famous son. But the acting dynasty started with him, and I think the elder deserves the louder applause. Thrice widowed and working until his death in 1931, he embodied a life given entirely to the craft. There's something poignant about an originator fading behind his own legacy. I'd rather celebrate the root than the branch.
