A letter to Errol

14 Oct

Dear Errol,

66 years ago you left this earth to roam around the 7 seas forever. A lot has happened since then. One thing didn’t change. There are still people in the world who discover your movies and love them. It happened to me over 5 years ago. I am watching your movies ever since. You are still remembered by a lot of people. Some remember the bad things, but most remember the good things. You are still a hero to many. You can be very proud of Deirdre and Rory. They still visit filmfestivals in your honour. They delight fans and strangers alike with their stories about you, and ofcourse their friendliness. I propose a toast to you, the master of the 7 seas and beyond. The man who still is loved by the people who visit this blog and many others. One day we all join you, but untill then, a toast to the best swashbuckler there ever was.

I hope everybody will join me with this toast to the man who gave us Captain Blood, Robin Hood, George Armstrong Custer and many happy hours in the cinema and at home. Viva Errol Flynn

Sirocco

06 Oct

I just found this on Bluesky. You can buy the book for $19.99 as paperback or read the ebook for free if you are a amazon unlimited member. For more information you can follow the link. I am not sure what kind of book it is, but as it is about our dear Errol, I thought it might be interesting.

A little update. I found it as Ebook at sites of bookstores in the Netherlands. I was able to get it for free. From what I saw it contains pictures and Errol’s lifestory. Not sure if all is correct though. I hope the fans outside the USA are able to find it too.

Sean Rio in a podcast

07 May

Just found a podcast interview with Sean/Rio on Youtube. It was uploaded just a few hours ago. It is a little over an hour long and Sean talks about Zoey102 and lots of other things. It was really nice to see him. Enjoy

Praise for Errol as Custer

10 Apr

Today I received the book Custer and the Little Big Horn by Jim Donovan. To my surprise I found Errol in it aswell. In one of the last chapters of the book Jim writes about the movies that were made about Custer and the famous battle that cost him (and his men) his life. Errol is praised for his role as George Armstrong Custer. And the scene that is mentioned in the book is one of my favorite parts of this movie. Here you can see what was written and the photos in the book.

The Pirate’s Daughter

02 Apr

Recently I stumbled upon a book that mentioned Errol. The story looked interesting, so I bought the book. It was published in 2007 and maybe some of you heard of it.

In 1946 Errol arrives on Jamaica with his yacht Zaca. Ida Joseph meets him and falls in love. It takes 3 years before she becomes his lover. When she finds out that she carries Errol”s child, she expects him to divorce his wife and marry her. But life is not as simple as that.

Both Ida and Errol fight their own demons. Their daughter May also has her own problems. This story is not so much about Errol but it is a nice read. I really like it.

Margaret Cezair-Thompson got her inspiration when she heard stories of Errol living on the island. It is (ofcourse) fictional, but we see Errol as he lived there. Patrice, Lily and Beverly all appear or are mentioned, but they have fictional names.

It is interesting to read how Errol’s life could have been on the island. The main story is about Ida and May and how they deal with their lives.

You can find the book on Amazon and bookstores. I bought it through my local bookstore in the Netherlands, so I think it can be ordered easily from the USA or other countries. I haven’t finished it yet, but it’s nice to read about the man behind the moviestar. Even if it is fictional.

In loving Memory

14 Oct

Today marks the sad 65th anniversary of Errol’s passing. Anniversary might not be the right word, but today I will be thinking of him. Our Robin Hood, Don Juan. A toast to Errol in heaven, who looks down on us with a smile. He is gone, but certainly not forgotten. Bung ho old boy, here’s to the one and only Errol Flynn.

Sean’s Paris apartment

03 Oct

Last weekend I made a short trip to Paris. A very short trip, but I had time to see Sean’s apartment on the Champs Elysees. I made a quick picture of the building. Not very clear, sorry for that. But the announcement on the door tells us that there are works going on in the building. I would love to explore this building, but there is no way strangers can get into the building. On a next visit to Paris I try to make some time to take pictures of the surrounding streets and the views from the front of the building. If someone is looking for the building, the Longchamps store is next door and the George V metro station very close.
