Born in Los Angeles, California, Power's parents divorced in 1956. After the divorce, her mother took Power and her elder sister Romina to live all around the world, mainly living in Italy and Spain where she and her sister spent most of their childhood.
She has acted in eight films, the first two in Spanish, the rest mostly English language films. Her most notable roles were as "Valentine De Villefort" in The Count of Monte Cristo (1975), with Richard Chamberlain, Donald Pleasence, and Tony Curtis, and as "Dione" in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977), starring Patrick Wayne and Jane Seymour.
Power's father died of a massive heart attack when she was five. In 1975, she met photographer Norman Seeff in Los Angeles, and eventually married him shortly before the birth of her first child. They split and eventually divorced in 1982. Power also had two children with musician Tony Sales in the 1980s. She later married William Greendeer and had a fourth child, Stella Greendeer, on April 21, 1996.
