The Errol Flynn Blog

Well I guess this may have been THE wedding of the year –

I am still trying to figure out why Errol would have been in the wedding party? Just how close was he to the Bride and Groom? I found lots of references that they dated when she was in Hollywood – but she also dated Bruce Cabot, Marlon Brando etc.

If Gloria was not Amelia – was it Pat Di Cicco who was the connection? In trying to find out some more information I see that Pat was referred to as a “gangster” a few times, implicated in a murder (altho I also saw some serious rebuttals of that one) – Bruce Cabot seemed to be the common element. Some time ago Gloria was a guest on Anderson Cooper’s talk show and I have copied part of their conversation here:

“Cooper recounted how his mother had asked him to proof-read a romance memoir she had written. ‘I was like, “really?” So I did and it was funny because I used to watch old movies with my mom when I was a kid. ‘And you know Frank Sinatra would be in some movie and I’d turn and say “did you know Frank Sinatra?” And she’d look at me and be like “Oh yes”.’

So I suppose it could be very possible everyone in that crowd would know everyone else. It just seems to me that being in someone’s wedding party is very personal. On the Late Show (in 2014) Anderson Cooper “listed actors Clark Gable and Errol Flynn as some of his mother’s other lovers”. I guess my next stop will be the local library to pick up her memoirs! I think this last comment sums up BOTH Errol and Gloria on the concern of friends when the memoir was about to be published:

“I did have two friends who were very Waspy, even more Waspy than I am — because I don’t consider myself Waspy — that were really concerned,” said Vanderbilt, and they said this book is going to ruin your reputation — so I refrained myself from saying, ‘Oh, goody!'”

Perhaps just another good friendship between 2 nice people!
