Linda Darnell was born in the early 1920s and forced into show business at the behest of her mother. By her early teens, Linda was supporting her family with her work on the stage. At the age of 15, the burgeoning star signed a contract with 20th Century Fox. Studio head Darryl F. Zanuck was aware that the young woman was only 15, but this didn’t stop him from advertising her to the public as a 19-year-old, as well as forming an unhealthy romantic obsession with her. Linda found a good deal of success early on, but this success would be taken away once Darryl realized that the actress wasn’t willing to be romantically involved with him.
Tyrone Power was already famous by the time that Linda Darnell showed up in Hollywood, and he likely had little interest in the actress when they were asked to perform together in 1939’s Day-Time Wife. However, Darryl loved watching the on-screen pairing due to the age discrepancy. Join Facts Verse as we explore how Linda Darnell and Tyrone Power were doomed the day they met.
