If you’ll be within a couple of hours of Wilmington, North Carolina, September 18th or 19th, you’ll have a double chance to buy a collector’s quality limited edition of the book as part of a 2-day Centennial celebration of screen legend Tyrone Power. This updated and expanded English language version of Romina’s 1998 Italian best seller made its debut this year and is available only at Centennial events.
On September 18th, a March of Dimes fundraiser luncheon at the Country Club of Landfall will honor Tyrone Power who, among his many charitable activities, was a longtime supporter of March of Dimes. On September 19th, historic Thalian Hall (where Tyrone Power Sr. starred in Macbeth in 1888) will celebrate Tyrone Power with a special reception and screening of the great John Ford film, The Long Gray Line, showcasing Tyrone Power’s superb acting and enduring appeal.
You’ll have a chance to meet Romina (an international star in her own right), along with her acting siblings Taryn and Tyrone Jr. at both events where they will autograph books. If you can’t make it to Wilmington but would like information about other Centennial events, the collector’s first edition of Searching for My Father, Tyrone Power or the trade edition of the book that will be published later this year, contact tyronepwer.firstedition@gmail.com.
