Long Way From Arkansas
But Dick Powell Kept His Dream
And Produced It as a Movie
BY SHEILAH GRAHAM
HOLLYWOOD.
"I was born in Mountain
View, Ark., a town with a pop
ulation of 800, seven miles
from the railroad station—put
that in, seven miles from the
railroad station because I
used to walk It just to see a
train go by, once a day, hop
ing that someday I would be
on It and heading for Cali
fornia.”
The speaker is Dick Powell,
who recently directed and pro
duced a movie costing $7 mil
lion for RKO Pictures. The
picture is "The Conqueror,”
starring John Wayne and Su
san Hayward. Dick describes
it as "the best Mongolian west
ern, so full of action that ev
eryone will race out to the
theater to buy a horse.”
“I stomped all over the
United States in show business
as a concert singer, then just
as a singer, always dreaming
of making a movie and direct
ing it myself, without any in
terference from anyone. And
my favorite story was of the
great Genghis Khan.”
Come the Call
Dick’s big opportunity came
one day while he was sunning
on his estate, and thinking
how lucky he was not to have
a worry in the world, when
the phone rang. His wife, June
Allyson, screamed down to
him at their mile-long arti
ficial lake. “A man by the
name of Howard Hughes is
calling from Las Vegas and
hurry up, the poor man didn’t
call person to person, the
phone call may break him.” So
Dick talked with Hughes, who
said, “I’m sending my private
plane down to pick you up. I
want to talk to you about run
ning RKO, and producing pic
tures for me.” Dick, in his
slow Arkansas drawl, didn’t
say yes, but he didn’t say no,
nor did he get excited.
The next day Dick was called
with the news that the Hughes
private plane was at the air
port. So Dick started for the
airport and that’s when all the
trouble in his world broke

loose. Ves. broke loose right In
the abdomen. Dick's appendix
erupted and he was rushed to
the hospital. “They gave me
up for gone, in fact I gave my
self up. I thought it was all
over. The pain made me almost
glad.”
• While Dick was in the hos
pital, fighting for his life,
Hughes thought he was giving
him a run-around, avoiding
him. Then he read the story
in my column the next day,
and immediately called June
Allyson. Learning that Dick
was on the critical list, Hughes
sent his personal doctor, Verne
Mason, one of the greatest in
the country, to Dick's aid. Dr.
Mason saved Hughes' life after
he crashed with his plane in
Beverly Hills.
He Gave Orders
After Dick was up on his feet
he joined KKO and told Hughes
that he wanted to make a pic
ture without any interference;
and that included Howard, too.
“Go ahead,” said Hughes
Dick did research on Genghis
Khan for six months, 18 hours
a day, seven days a week. He
finally got a script together.
The movie, which John Wayne
calls his best, is now finished
and awaiting release, while
Dick is recuperating agatn, this
time from a shoulder fractured
while skiing.
“I’ll concentrate mostly on
directing now. I’ve had oSers
from all the major studios, but
I want to pick my stories very
carefully. I’m not interested
in producing. That really is a
rough job, your work is never
done.” As for acting, “If a
good part comes along in a
movie, I’ll take it.”
Dick and June have formed
their own company, called
Pamric after their children,
Pam and Ricky. They have a
lot of scripts coming in and
they’ll start making their own
pictures any day now. “I'd
like to make a musical with
June, but they are expensive
for an independent outfit like
ours.”
Powell is one of the owners
of television’s “Four Star Play
house.” The others are Charles
Boyer and David Niven. “I
hear everyone saying how rich
you can get from TV. We have
156 telefilms. I am now going
to sit back and see how rich
I can get from them,” said
Dick.
When I first came to Holly
wood, Dick was a crooner. He
isn't too much changed in ap
pearance—the same trim figure
and wavy hair. But he has the
authority that comes with ma
turity. “I have enough worries
so I don’t oversleep. Enough
things to do so I don’t have
time to overeat,” says Dick.
“Ive worked hard all my life.
I think that is pretty much
what life is about. Although,
actually I work because with
things the way they are. I’ll
have to be earning money 10
years after I’m in the grave to
get my four kids through col
lege.”
