Hey classic film bloggers, are you ready for one more blogathon?! I hope so, because Monday, May 5th, is the 100th anniversary of Hollywood mega-star Tyrone Power's birth, and Lady Eve of The Lady Eve's Reel Life and I will be hosting Power-Mad, a one-day-only event in celebration of the actor's life and career.
Participants are invited to review Mr. Power's films (one blogger per film, please), post a photo spread or a biographical essay (you might cover his life in general or strictly his movie career, his military service during World War II or his post-war stage career, or...) - basically, feel free to get creative.
This blogathon is not limited to CMBA members, so any and all of you are welcome to participate. (The more the merrier). If you'd like to be involved, you can get in touch in one of two ways---either leave me a comment on this post, or send an email to my co-host (Lady Eve, at ladyevesidwich@gmail.com). In your email, please include your name, your blog's name and address, and the title/subject of your entry.
100th birthdays deserve parties and fanfare, so Lady Eve and I are hoping for a huge turnout for Power-Mad. We look forward to having you celebrate with us.
Lady Eve has created these four gorgeous banners to advertise the event. Please grab one for your blog, and help us spread the word.
