Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1963)

The trouble with Debbie’s explanation, of course, is it raised more questions than it answered. If Debbie and Arthur were so concerned with the welfare of the two boys, why didn’t they make another effort at making their marriage work instead of separating after such a brief period as Mr. and Mrs.? If it was best for little Ty and Gerry to stay together, why didn’t they remain in their mother’s custody, as is usual and normal in separations and divorces? Why did Arthur and Debbie reverse the usual procedure? It is not unusual for a stepfather to adopt his wife’s child by a previous husband. (After all, Eddie Fisher legally adopted Liza, Liz Taylor’s child by the late Mike Todd.) But it is unusual for the stepfather to receive, with court approval, custody of the child even before the divorce. Why did Arthur Loew insist on changing the name of Tyrone William Power IV to Tyrone Power Loew, especially in the wake of the late Ty’s fervently expressed wish that his son carry on the Power name? And, the biggest why of all, why did Ty’s widow agree to Loew’s action then? Later, when she won a divorce from Loew charging “extreme cruelty,” she testified, “He told me he didn’t want to be married,” and asserted that after six months of marriage he informed her that “he didn’t want to be tied down.” The surprise in the divorce proceedings was that, contrary to their previous separation agreement, this time Debbie was granted custody of both boys. And she was to get $250 monthly support for two-yearold Gerry and the same amount for threeyear-old Ty, in addition to $l,000-a-month alimony for herself. Whatever the reason for this switch in custody from stepfather to mother, one thing remained the same: little Ty had been denied his famous father’s name. What happens next? For Arthur it looks like a return to his pre-marital role of dashing man-abouttown. Arthur’s preference for brunettes has not changed (before marrying darkhaired Debbie he almost married still darker-haired Liz Taylor, and since eigh teen days before his divorce from Debbie was granted, he’s seemed to be courting actress Susan Strasberg quite seriously). For Debbie it looks as if she might be able to land Brett Halsey, if their romance can survive the one-year waiting period necessary in California. But between now and then anything can happen — and probably will. Brett, as many woman including his two former wives have found out, is tough to tie down and even tougher to keep tied once a gal thinks she’s got him. A confirmed bachelor Brett himself talks like a confirmed bachelor. “I work like the devil, and when the work is over I go out and let off steam. I’m a born hell-raiser,” he says. Even if Debbie were temporarily to tame this man and lead him to the altar, her problems, if we harken to what his two previous wives have to say, would just be beginning. Says Renata Hoy, a former Miss Germany, who was Brett’s first wife and bore him two children, Charles Oliver, now six, and Tracy Leigh, now five: “Being married to Brett was like raising a child.” Says Luciana Paluzzi, who was Brett’s second wife, on being told by a reporter that he’d just spent two hours with her exhusband and could barely eke out two paragraphs of copy from the interview: “You are lucky. I was married to him for almost a year and didn’t get that much.” A few months after their divorce, Luciana claimed she wasn’t getting something else from Brett that she was legally entitled to — $200 a month support for their child, Christian. “Brett has never paid any child support — and frankly, I couldn’t care less,” she said. “I’m just glad to get rid of him at any price.” For Tyrone Power Loew (formerly Tyrone Power IV), the forgotten principal in this drama, there can be only confusion. Only four years old, he has already been cheated by death, bewildered by an on-again off-again custody arrangement, touched by divorce and deprived of his name. Tyrone Power’s dreams for his son are slowly turning to ashes.— Jim Williams ‘‘Let’s pretend we were secretly married and let them take up a collection for us.” OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU For ad rates, write PCD 549 W.
