The Palm Springs Raquet Club – within the 2-hour radius mandated by the studios – where, Hollywood lore has it, Marilyn was discovered and the Bloody Mary was invented. Errol was the brightest star of all, of course – on both the courts and at the legendary Bamboo Bar.

Dear Topspin Tim,
Backgammon+Scuba Diver = Freddie McEvoy?
Sounds like a promo stunt from that Aussie asocialite. I’d love to see a picture on that, if my hunch proves right and the Racquet Club also was a rogue’s playground.
Could well be, tweenerheinz. Freddie had quite a raquet, always hanging out at all the raciest places. Here’s a photo of the rogue in downtown Palm Springs – or maybe it’s the Vandy Cup of ’36 – one or the other.

Still hoping to find any other pic of Flynn at the Hollywood Racquet Club out there!
