I was in touch with Rory Flynn recently, and she has expressed an interest in being more active on the blog (she has been a member for some time) but of course also has a very busy life! She is interested in using our collective skills as Flynn Detectives to discover any footage of herself with her father that may be in someone’s collection, or available in an archive somewhere. She is interested in any newsreels featuring her father, too. She has many private photos in her collection but there was an estate sale of some kind back in the day and she mentions that actor Roddy McDowell somehow was able to purchase film stock and photos and kept them under lock and key. I was able to send her some home movie footage, and outtakes from Cruise of the Zaca but I know that there is a lot more out there, and if anyone can find it – it is us!
She recalls going to a premier at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre with her father but doesn’t know if that is available anywhere. I believe I have seen this clip! Just where? We all do a lot of researching, and it can become a jumble of sites and disks with who knows what on them! So, are there any hardy detectives here who would like to contribute some time to this?
