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.

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.

Happy Birthday Errol

20 Jun

Last year I visited the beautiful island of Capri. There I bought a book about Capri in movies. Many movies were filmed there and many stars visited and still visit the island. Our dear Errol was one of them. Here is the picture of him that was in the book. I don’t know when it was taken but in the picture is singer Scarola (Giuseppe Savarese). I hope you enjoy this birthday treat. Happy birthday Errol.  Hope you have a good one up there.
