Hello All,

I recently purchased a book entitled "Reporters: Memoirs of A Young Newspaperman", by Will Fowler, the son of Gene Fowler. In it, he mentions Errol Flynn several times. David thought perhaps you'd like the following quote, taken from page 111.

"Shortly before Flynn's death, he showed my father his "My Wicked Wicked Ways" manuscript, in which the perfidious prank of "stealing John Barrymore's body" was fantasized. I had also read it, and when Flynn phoned pop for his critique, my father asked why he'd written the odious squib. The actor (who had been heavily into drugs and alcohol at the time) said: "I just wrote it in for laughs because that's what I wish my friends would do for me directly after my final curtain."
