Dick Powell was born and raised in Mountain View, Arkansas

One of my readers requested the Mountain View address of Dick Powell. I went to the house and took some pictures.The picture shows that the house number is 220  South Main.

Dick was big in the movies when I was growing up in Pomona, California. For several years he was a song and dance man. When that career slowed  he was successful as a tough detective type. He played the lead in the first Phillip Marlowe movie. He made hundreds of movies.

He was married at different times, to Joan Blondell and June Allyson.
