Did I ever tell about the time I rescued Tyrone Power from an over-aggressively enthusiastic fan?
There I was, idling outside the Brown Derby in Beverly Hills. I had just finished my lunch with Johnny Weissmuller and his 3rd wife, Allene.
I was giving Johnny some coaching advice on how to break into television since his Tarzan movies had fallen out of favor.
As I warmed up my, one of six ever made Alfa Romao ’52 Volante 2000 Spider, who should I spot but Tyrone. I think he was being heavily confronted by some anti-meat eater about his bull fighting character in the movie “Blood in the Sand”.
I put my Alfa in gear and rolled up to him. “Get in, Tyrone” I shouted. He fumbled at the door latch. “The other side, Tyrone“.
He ran to the left side and climbed in. I goosed the engine, it stalled, I restarted and off we went. A reporter for ‘The Tattler’, a Hollywood gossip magazine, shot the picture.
“Tyrone, my man… who was that guy and what was that all about?” I asked racing down Rodeo Drive.
“That was my wife Deborah’s step-brother. He has some brainy idea to make some Hawaiian circle thing kids swing on their hips. A hulu something”.
“Nonsense, Tyrone, that’s a looser” I added. “Don’t get involved. Where can I drop you?”
“Can you take me to Basil Rathbone’s place?” Tyrone asked. “I’m teaching his grandson some fencing”.
“You got it, T.P. … Hang on” I declared “Let me slip this into second”.
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an very long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say fantastic blog!
I Appreciate your getting so relevant and for considering this form of humor most people are really desperate to gain more of. My personal honest apologies for not saying thanks to earlier.
My brother suggested I might like this web site. He was once totally right. This submit actually made my day. You cann’t believe simply how much time I had spent for this info! Thank you!
I have been browsing online more than 3 hours as of late, but I never discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is beautiful humor for me.
