The House Errol lived in
29
Oct
Dear Flynnstone,
here is a little real estate time capsule:
Swashbuckling Hollywood superstar, the late Errol Flynn once stayed in a Hythe house which has just come on the market.
And the acting connection does not stop with the screen mitinee idol who still makes middic-aged female hearts throb when his films appear on today’s television screens.
The large semi-detached house on the scafront at West Parade, Hythe, was formerly owned by Court Photographer Lisa Sheridan, mother of actress Dinah Sheridan, famed for her performance in the classie film comedy Genevieve.
Besides other Hollywood stars of the 30s and 40s are reputed to have stayed at the house, which provides excellent family accommodation and would be ideal for sailors and windsurfing.
Or it could operate as a small guest house, having four large bed-rooms, all with basins, two reception rooms, kitchen, large utility room, workroom, bathroom, two wes, integral garage and walled garden.
Agents for the property, which has been immaculately maintained, with double glazing, fitted carpets and gas central heating, are Worsfolds of Hythe. The asking price is €64,500.

The Kubrick Connex
28
Sep
Dear Flynnstones,
Stanley Kubrick`s former Victorian estate Abbots Mead is on the market again. Inside Stanley Kubrick’s Former Estate: Abbots Mead | stupidDOPE | Est. 2008
This offer offers us a curious Flynn connection, other than the symbologistic (not to use the word visionary) director´s initial impuls to cast Errol as H.H. for his Lolita-adaptation: In should`ve been Flynn 13 « The Errol Flynn Blog
Do you see it?
Take a close look at the bathroom (photo courtesy of Savills), a place always prominently pictured in SK`s movies.
Yes, it shows the same female figurine, that watches Errol Flynn’s grave.
So, maybe, when Stanley lay in his bathtube for recreational and inspirational purposes under that black monolithic madonna, he saved a thought or two about our man Flynn. The one that got away, declining a career opportunity in dire times by cooly declaring: “You see, Old Sport, me and Bev come as a sort of a package deal.”
When Errol`s one time business manager Lew Wasserman, the later boss of Universal Studios, was asked as who he`d like to reincarnate, he replied instantly: “Clark Gable.”
I wonder who Kubrick`s favourite starchild was.
