A new movie about Sean?
“I want things to give my life gravitas, and that’s the movie about Sean Flynn.”
Errol takes Sean and the Tan Man to ELMO
“We met as teenagers in Palm Beach. One night when we were about 15 and both at boarding school, Errol Flynn showed up in New York and took us to dinner. To El Morocco, which wasn’t even a place to go to dinner, it was a nightclub. Sean and I showed up in our best Brooks Brothers blazers,”

Coast Guard Arrives in Time

November 5, 1937
Harrison Carroll
Evening Herald Examiner
Didn’t see any mention of the fact that Errol Flynn’s yacht, “The Cheerio,” had to have assistance from the Coast Guard the other day. The star wasn’t aboard at the time. He had flown back from Catalina for scenes on Robin Hood.
The Cheerio was in mid-channel when a Coast Guard boat noticed the craft seemed to be in distress. Its captain, it turned out, had collapsed from a heart attack.*
The yacht was towed to port and the captain was rushed to the hospital.
Here’s current Captain, Dick McNish, pointing out for the Errol Flynn Blog, Cheerio II’s cabin clock. Captain McNish has meticulously restored Errol’s first significant yacht in California, the name of which was Cheerio II (not “The Cheerio”) when he purchased it from a silent movie star friend of Charlie Chaplin. Errol briefly named it “The Bachelor”.
* Who the “captain” was that suffered the heart attack, I do not know. Anyone out there in Flynnland know?

Is the Bombshell from Brazil Bigger Than The Baron of Mulholland?
“The Most Famous Person Born in 1909”
“From presidents and royals to musicians and movie stars, we’ve identified the most famous person born every year of the 20th century, as well as some honorable mentions.”
“Honorable mention Errol Flynn may have been the bigger star of the day, but Miranda’s fruity fashion sense has made her an enduring icon in a way unparalleled by others.”
Is the Baron Not King?
