Reagan’s most difficult dialogue … Mailbag!
29
Jul
Our dear friend Karl Holmberg writes to us:
… from Desparate Journey, 1942, and this is the film he was referencing during a news reporter’s question:
Gorbachev was a media celebrity in the United States, and the crowds cheered when he jumped out of his limousine and shook hands with people on the street. Reagan was out of the limelight, and it didn’t seem to bother him. Asked by a reporter whether he felt overshadowed by Gorbachev, Reagan replied: ‘I don’t resent his popularity. Good Lord, I once co-starred * with Errol Flynn.’
* meaning that the credit read: “starring Errol Flynn and Ronald Reagan

Beverly Aadland Facebook Page & Who is Ida Carlini?
22
Jul
I was chatting with Jennifer Davis on Facebook Messenger and she mentioned her friendship with Beverly Aadland’s daughter, Aadlanda. They run a page together dedicated to her mother. She also mentioned Ida Carlini Lynn’s Cuban friend who owned a club in NYC Errol frequented and often hung out with Errol in Cuban casino’s as seen in this shot from Cuban Story. That is Ida Carlini far right at the gambling table with Errol & Beverly Aadland.
Idea Carlini far fright.
Ida Carlini.
Ida Carling far right.
Idea Carlini far left with Sammy Davis and friends.
Thanks Jennifer!

Jack Marino’s Homage to the Fabulous Flynn!
14
Jul
Jack Marino got ahold of me today to let me know his homage to Errol Flynn’s Mulolland Farm house continues with the addition of a replica of the bookshelf above which hung one of Gaugan’s paintings in Errol’s living-room. Jack had the bookshelf hand made from the same wood as Errol’s and sits in the same position relative to all of the other furniture in the room which is intended to give the visitor the feeling you are in Flynn’s livingroom. He stresses that the room is smaller than Errol’s by ten feet all around but there are enough similarities to create the feeling he is looking for … And he succeeds!
There is more to do, he says, but he’s in no hurry.
Thanks for the update, and sharing your fabulous tribute to the old rascal, Errol Flynn, with the rest of us!
