ABSOLUTELY FLYNNTASTIC, KARL!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

No one topped Pop! He was the Harry James of ex-husband letter-writing. (Did Harry James write letters to ex-wives?)

btw, knowing Lili, as all of us here do, she surely would have showed up as one spectacularly sexy showstopper, aiming to top all the other Mrs. Errol Flynns at Mulholland.

I wonder if Sean hung onto that flute his Dad bought for him!?!

And here’s 803 N. Rodeo Drive, where “Lilli” and Sean lived (During the years Sean was at Black-Foxe Military Academy, where the recently departed Gene Wilder also briefly attended several years earlier.)

Per Jack Warner’s phone book during those years, “Lily” – located below Dunne and DeHavilland, between Disney and Dali – could be telephoned at CR1-8007

With these two Flynnian treasures mounted on his wall, one from Boots, the other from Essex:

Karl is our very own private detective who quietly finds little treasures that he shares with us. Thanks Karl, Ralph Schiller

Thank you David and Karl…
I needed a good uplifting story as this letter has been very humorous this morning. I wonder was Errol serious about needing the money or was it a dig. as to the money drain by his ex’s?? POP, that’s very interesting…… Seeing Sean in that period brings back many memories and I wish I could go back sometimes…..
Although Errol rounds it all up complimenting Lili and I persieve they were still on friendly terms?
JW’s phone book, how cool….

That letter is a treat! I wonder if POP means “Poor old Pop”? I also wondered what the gathering was that Lili would attend at Mulholland? Maybe a birthday party for Sean?

Thanks for the laugh today!

Good thinking, Maria. Maybe It was a birthday party for Sean whose 10th Birthday was only a few days earlier, on May 31, 1951.
