Taryn Power obit

Farewell to Taryn Power, Romina Power's younger sister and actress

 She was not on the list.

Power was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1953, to actors Tyrone Power and Linda Christian. When her parents divorced in 1956, her mother took Power and her elder sister Romina to live all around the world, mainly spending their childhoods in Italy and Spain.

To announce the death of the woman was the singer who, on her Instagram profile, shared several shots with her little sister. “He left us a luminous being, a loving mother, an exceptional grandmother and a unique and special sister,” he wrote

The announcement gave it Romina Power . «My sister, Taryn , joined our parents yesterday, at 9. 53, at his home in Winsconesia, surrounded by his four children and four grandchildren, after having fought a year and a half battle with leukemia », wrote the singer on her Instagram profile, sharing several photos together with her younger sister , born from the love between Tyrone Power and his second wife, Linda Christian. «He left us a luminous being, a loving mother, an exceptional grandmother and a unique and special sister, for her humor, her generosity and the love she had for animals and nature.

I could not have a better sister in this life! », Wrote the historical companion of Al Bano , who in 1993, together with the one who was then her husband offered Taryn to move to Italy, to Cellino San Marco.

So, Taryn Power declined the offer. And never again, in the years to come, has she turned back. The woman, with whom Romina Power shared the joys and pains of a not always easy childhood, let go of her older sister to live a more resigned life. Simpler, far from spotlights that have courted her. Animal rights activist, committed vegetarian and actress, starred in several films, including The Count of Monte Cristo ( 1975) is Sinbad and the eye of the tiger (1977) . In 1975, it rose to the fore for a flirt with Lucio Battisti.

Power acted in eight films, the first two in Spanish, the rest mostly English language films. Her most notable roles were as "Valentine De Villefort" in The Count of Monte Cristo (1975), with Richard Chamberlain, Donald Pleasence, and Tony Curtis, and as "Dione" in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977), starring Patrick Wayne and Jane Seymour.
