Errol Flynn was one of the first larger-than-life celebrities, an icon of the screen. This major biography uncovers the real story behind the well-cultivated Hollywood myths of this Australian-born actor.

Handsome and charismatic, Errol Flynn was one of the first great screen idols. He mesmerised millions around the world with his swordsmanship, swagger and smouldering sexuality. He portrayed an array of heroes in the Golden Age of Hollywood, and his life off screen was no less colourful.

This groundbreaking biography is the first complete account of Errol Flynn’s life, from his unusual childhood in Tasmania and damaging family secrets, to his time in the brutal plantations of New Guinea, and his discovery by a Warner talent spotter. He quickly found fame in lead roles in blockbuster films like Captain Blood and The Adventures of Robin Hood. He was the man who had it all, who every man wanted to be, who every woman wanted.

This is a revealing and intimate portrait of Flynn, and gives serious attention to the many women in his life for the first time. Flynn’s 1943 rape trial uncovered the sexual trafficking of underage girls in Hollywood on a grand scale. Tragically, he died aged only fifty, the result of a life lived to excess.

‘Such a great story. I wish I had written this.’ Peter FitzSimons

‘Immaculately researched and brilliantly told. Errol Flynn is more gripping than all his movies put together.’ Alison Bashford

‘O’Brien brilliantly takes us to the dark heart of the world’s most famous dream factory and one of its most notorious, and celebrated, habitues.’ Frank Bongiorno Genene and Steve

unbelievable….

26 Jan

Steve just walked in the door and told me this. Because of the Errol society we have we also have Errol number plates. Whilst Steve was there a bloke said like your number plate and proceeded in to the shop but he soon came out he said his daughter would not believe him and he told Steve that his father that passed 3 years ago was named after our Errol. So he got his picture and went of Real happy. Small world. Genene

The Gorilla Hunt

18 Sep

There is a silent film called the Gorilla Hunt. There is a lot of information on the Films maker Alton. it is a long read but if you do not want to read it all I never knew that Errol had a extensive library of silent films and one of those is called the gorilla hunt. when they found this film it is the only one in existence after all this is the main part about Errol.

I am the grandson of the Ben Burbridge who made this film. I have seen the silent film original version, one time in 2004. The only known copy belonged to Errol Flynn, whose estate contained his collection of many silent films. The collection was donated to Museum of Modern Art in NYC, where it competed [with] many others for restoration. In perhaps 2002 or 2003, it was selected, restored, and is in the possession of MOMA and tightly controlled.”

From the Princess Theatre in Alton to the estate of Errol Flynn to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. That’s a pretty impressive journey for any film. Genene
If you want to read the whole lot here is a link . There is a picture of Errol and Lilli
