From Ventura Sala, a wonderful Flynn docu!
20
Jan
Ventura Sala appears in a wonderful docu about Errol Flynn in Majorca, Spain, with some very rare footage and stills I'd never seen before. The docu is 25.44 in length and you can view it by following this link: Ventura Sala Docu
There are shots of Flynn aboard the Zaca, clips of Zaca under sail, Errol at the local Bullfights, and scenes of Majorca. Also, seen is a film being made by other Hollywood stars, and clips of noted visitors such Charles Chaplin, Ava Gardner, and Rita Hayworth. But most of the recollections and stills are about Errol Flynn. The docu is all in Spanish but for those of us who don't speak Spanish it is still a worthy and fascinating docu to watch…

Errol's astrological chart
18
Jan
Hi everyone,
1) I don't know if this ever has come up before but I came across www.topsynergy.com… where you can search for either your own astrological chart or go for the famous. Simply look for Errol Flynn and you get a whole breakdown of what material he was made of. And also the Astro profile, quite interesting to say the least!!
2) I am now releasing some of my Hollywood memorabilia items, some of Errol's cufflinks and high profile sterling silver cigarette case from the late 1930's, also from Barrymore, Welles, Muni and others (all with CoA). I thought I put this info on the blog before I go global. I aim that at least Errol's items go to another fanatic Flynn fan like myself.
Good luck!

to bring Paul back with this brother who is a director in Hollywood.
Paul brought his brother out here to make it in the films.

Cader1dris Channel down the drain!
09
Jan
I just wanted to say to my youtube friends on the Errol Flynn blog, that my channel is slowly being restored after it being terminated by youtube because of a video i made 4 years ago to a supertramp song. Losing over 300 subscribers and 200 uploaded tributes to Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Bette Davis and many more was, lets say, a kick in the teeth. This is the new channel which over the next month or two will hopefully have most of the tributes uploaded onto it again.
Thanks & I hope you are all well,
Samuel,

Nora Martin, Author, Educator, old friend…
07
Jan
I knew Nora Martin when we lived in Bellingham, WA “Back in the Day” when the world was young… she was then a talented dancer, and student who won a spectacular talent show at a gala evening event covered on the radio and brought the house down with her perfect ballet form, and blazing talents on stage. She went on to become a noted educator, author and wife to a young man who hung around the sidelines of her life for awhile adventuring in Alaska and other places doing research and has since given her two sons who are the light of her life, I'm sure. Nora was always a great pal to have, and I and my then girlfriend Terry (later my wife) thought of her as our third Musketeer! Over the years we lost touch… but recently I found her website and reconnected with our old chum! She tells me she intends to do a lot more writing! Good news for those of us who love a good read and imaginative stories…

“Errol Flynn Co-Star To Sign Autographs At Chicago Show”
03
Jan
At the March 2011 Hollywood Collectibles Show in Chicago, Illinois one of Errol Flynn's actual co-stars will be there in person signing autographs.
On top of that she was the star of the most obscure, impossible-to-find, and virtually unseen film in Errol Flynn's entire career. The film is “Hello God” (1951). Very little is known about this film other than it was shot in Italy, and was written and directed by William Marshall. When Errol saw the finsished product, he was so horrified that he destroyed the print. Director Marshall was able to re-recreate the film from outtakes, and shot additional scenes.
The film played at a single film festival in Spain. A legal representative of the Flynn estates once asked Patrice Wymore about “Hello God”. She said she had seen the film and that Errol Flynn gave a wonderful performance as the ghost of an American soldier killed at Anzio Beach in World War Two.
In William Marshal's own autobiographical novel, he strongly hints that “Hello God” was already filmed in Italy with an Italian actor. Then he simply re-shot the actor's close-ups with new footage of Errol Flynn.
Outside of Ms. Wymore no one I know has ever seen the film let alone co-star in it with Flynn.
I intend to attend the Chicago show and ask the lovely Ms. jackson several questions.
Did she work in Italy on te film or were all her scenes shot in Califonia?
Did she ever work on camera or on set with Errol Flynn or were her scenes filmed after he tried to destroy the film?
Has she ever actually seen the film?
Does she have a copy of the film?
Does she still have a copy of the screenplay?
The enigmatic “Hello God” is Errol Flynn's ghost film, in that many people doubt its very existence today or even back then.
Sherry Jackson may be the key to solving this mystery!
Best Wishes
