Trivia and Quotes

Quotes
  • "The best thing about switching from being an actor to being a director is that you don`t have to shave or hold your stomach in anymore."
    Trivia
  • As of early 2007, his birthplace in the small town of Mountain View, AR still stands on the north side of Main Street. It`s a modest circa 1895 house (sadly in a state of benign neglect) with a wraparound porch with a small historical marker and a badly weathered display out in front that details his 1936 engagement to Joan Blondell, marriage to June Allyson and more recent death of his brother.
  • Died on the same day, of the same cause, as Jack Carson.
  • He was a vocalist with Charlie Davis`s orchestra before entering film.
  • He was yet another casualty of the 1956 film The Conqueror (1956) filmed near a nuclear test site in Utah. Many of the people involved with the film, including Powell, who directed, eventually died of cancer, either caused by, or exacerbated by, working on it. Others included actors John Wayne, Susan Hayward, Ted de Corsia, and Agnes Moorehead.
  • His estate was reportedly valued at $10,000,000 at the time of his death.
  • In the 1940s Powell sold his 55-foot yacht - Santana - to lifelong sailing enthusiast Humphrey Bogart. Needless to say, the vessel subsequently achieved celebrity status as "Bogie`s Boat" due to his numerous seafaring expeditions.
  • In The Day of the Locust (1975), Powell was portrayed by his son Dick Powell Jr..
  • Interred at Forest Lawn, Glendale, California, USA.
  • Starred in two famous radio series: as "Richard Diamond, Private Detective" in the series of the same name and as "Richard Rogue" in NBC`s "Rogue`s Gallery" (1945-1946). "Richard Diamond" was written and directed by a director who gained fame in Hollywood movies-- Blake Edwards.
