Suislide Freddie
29

Dear Flynnmates,
here is another accurate account about Errol Flynn`s best man Suicide Freddie McEvoy.
When together, they could meow the birds from the trees.
But his panache got the playboy literally in deep waters.
The circumstances of his drowning a few meters off the coast of Morocco are as murky as his past.
He supposedly died trying to save his newly wed wife from going under.
The truth may not be as romantic as the legend.
Three crew members survived the shipwreck.
One was Manfred Lentner, a convicted murderer from Austria.
He gave three different versions of what happened that night.
Errol immediately wanted to salvage Freddie Mac`s yacht with his own money.
Why, you ask me!?
I believe the motif to be buried within the EF Enterprises script “Deep Waters”, which was supposed to be filmed in South France.
Barry Mahon was to produce and cute Corinne Calvet was to star.
Enjoy,

Love at first fight

Dear Flynnmates,
I want to share with you an (at least to me) unknown image of Laddie Errol and Lady Livvie.
Both visibly enjoy each others company, our Hollywood hero even gives it a two arrows up.
The pic must have been taken at the early stages of filming The Adventures of Robin Hood, since Flynn wears the knight outfit for the later on cancelled jousting tournament scene.
The idea originated from the grand opening in the original ROHO- movie: (163) Robin Hood (Klassiker von und mit Douglas Fairbanks [ABENTEUER 1922] Stummfilm, ganzer Film Deutsch) – YouTube
Enjoy,

A Giant St. Patty’s Day Quiz
17
Mar
Errol was once a guest at a giant St. Patrick’s Day Party. Where was it and who was the host?
– It may have been the largest St. Patrick’s Day celebration ever thrown by a private person.
– Many dozens of Hollywood celebrities attended.
– The millionaire host wore sunglasses the day of the party, reportedly because he had a black eye he earned in a fistfight while greeting or preparing to greet celebrities.
