Did I miss it or did no one report on the fact that 2 Flynn alumni, from his very last dramatic appearance (The Golden Shanty), passed last year:
Patricia Barry (Adie Walker)
Arthur Hiller (Director) below with Errol.

What Two TV Stars …
02
Jan
… appeared in a successful TV series together and… also, separately, had screen appearances in some Errol Flynn films: one of them twice, and the other 6 times (though actually there were 7 only this actor’s scenes were deleted).
Hints:
One began film career in 1916; the other had a diverse job career: ranch hand, a deputy sheriff, photo salesman, and a singer in night clubs before beginning a film career.
One appeared in over 100s film in the course of his career; the other more than 50.
One worked with Hitchcock, the other with Bogie 8 times.
In the 50s one appeared in a seminal Sci Fi film that led to a number of “sequels”, the other appeared in a landmark teen film.
One’s final film appearance was with a bombshell of the 60s. The other a fondness for flowers and grapes in this actor’s later life.
That’s a start…

Sean In The News

I have what I call, my “Magic Box”, with it you can get any film, program, music, whatever one can ever imagine with a click of finger, including movies that are in the theaters now. (not sure if I should mention that?) – In any case out of the thousands of Apps I can pick from, I have one that I truly adore; all on documentaries, any flavor one can imagine. War docs., Classic Film docs. Bios, etc. are on the top of my list.
In search of a Vietnam doc I ran into one I had never seen before, It was a bad copy, yet I watched it as it was with Sean Flynn in Vietnam reporting live (I believe) to Chet Huntley in New York NBC. Although I watched the whole program, I thought I would check online in seeing if I could find a better copy, and I did, of course its on Youtube.
I am probably the last to see this as I am sure you all have, but just in case anyone else here has not, I thought I would post the link anyway.
It’s still tragic in knowing this fine young man was killed in the manner we think he was. If Errol had still been alive, I feel pretty confident he would have made a difference in getting his son back alive, or if all else his body, so Sean could have received a proper burial, and maybe have bene laid next to his dad.
