The Errol Flynn Blog

Thanks Maria. She was said to have been very “free spirited” and “devil-may-care”. (Somethin like Flynn perhaps!) All that, her good looks, and hall-of-fame level horse(wo)manship must have helped her land Jock Whitney, too.

As a sidebar: Long after it was preeminent real estate rural Brooklyn(!), I grew up on the old bayside peninsula estate where Jock Whitney’s Dad and Grandfather (William C. Whitney) lived part time and bred horses. It was very near the once world renowned Sheepshead Bay Racetrack (which itself was owned by Winston Churchill’s in-laws, the Jeromes. Whitney donated most all that estate to the children of New York as permanent parkland, across from which was land for modest homes, one of which I grew up in.

So, on behalf of myself and my family, thank you very much Whitneys!

Here’s Liz!
