Tyrone Power's coffin, at the American air base in Torrejon (Spain), for his final trip to the actor's country
November 15 (AFP). The news of the sudden death of Tyrone Power today occupies all the front pages of Madrid's evening newspapers, reminding us that the film actor's father died similarly while filming a movie role.
At the same time [that the death] was confirmed, both producer Ted Richmond and director Henry King decided to continue the shooting of Solomon and Sheba, despite the tragic passing of their lead actor, with some Madrid newspapers announcing that they were searching for a "double" for Tyrone; only two or three weeks remained to finish the super-production (5 million dollars), whose exteriors were filmed in the region of Zaragoza with three thousand extras and 75 specially constructed ancient war chariots.
The rest of the scenes are currently being filmed in the Chamartin studios. The famous Italian actress Gina Lollabrigida, working alongside Tyrone Power, still has not recovered from the tremendous shock she received from being present when her colleague suffered his angina attack. The other principal actors, George Sanders, Marisa Pavan, Jose Nieto and Maruchi Fresno, are equally upset at the unexpected ending to the scene Tyrone Power had been performing.
The bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguin and the Countess of Quintanilla, who had dined last night with the actor, were the first persons who arrived at the clinic's funeral chapel. There Tyrone Power's remains rested prior to transfer to the American air base at Torrejon, where they will be transported tomorrow to the United States.

LINDA CHRISTIAN MAY ARRIVE
The actor's former wife is currently in Italy
Madrid, November 15 (SECM). We were informed at Barajas Airport that the star Linda Christian, who is in Rome, may arrive early today to be by the side of the body of her ex-husband, Tyrone Power.
It is said that the Mexican actress, who was married for seven years to the famous actor, who was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, had expressed in Rome her desire to travel immediately to this city.
Linda is the mother of Taryn and Romina, the two little daughters and great loves of the late actor. When she separated from Tyrone, Linda won her petition for a million dollars and custody of the girls, who by special agreement would live six months with Linda and the rest of the year with their father.
Since her divorce from Tyrone, Linda has been traveling to many places around the world. She had been mentioned as possibly marrying the late Marquis de Portago and more lately as the likely companion of a wealthy Brazilian.

Lollobrigida's Pain From the Tragic Death
Madrid, November 15 (SECM) The suite occupied by the Italian celebrity Gina Lollobrigida in the Hilton Castellana Hotel is lit only by the faint light of the candles that the beautiful star placed before an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in remembrance of the passing of the famous actor Tyrone Power.
Gina's husband told reporters that Gina would not be able to give interviews due to her extreme depression over the unexpected death which took place while Tyrone was filming scenes from Solomon and Sheba.
The scenes with Gina are almost complete, although there are a few left to film.
She heard the news in her hotel room when she was with her young son.
