Dear fellow Flynn fans,
Christmas is a holy time, but also the high time for sensual sightings.
Some see Santa, while I see Errol.
But have no fear of this ghost post.
All I want from you is to deposit the pictures here, which assumingly show our Hollywood hero, but actually depict a lookalike/wannabe/preposterous imposter.
A very merry errol time,

To all Errol Flynn Blog members, wishing you a Very Merry Christmas from Australia! Here’s my annual handmade Christmas Greeting Card creation.
My first time posting it on EFB, as this year I’ve included an ode to Errol … he being the Santa (from Escape Me Never) escaping the frame at stage left! Enjoy, I raise my glass!
Cheers, Philip

Dear fellow Flynn fans,
still looking for the perfect christmas present?
Invaluable auctions off an item featuring our Hollywood hero. If you look carefully he lingers in the back of the picture in his typical Lord of Shanghai pose (www.theerrolflynnblog.com…).

“The finest ever Robin Hood, Errol Flynn was a man who knew how to buckle a swash. No one has matched him in nearly eighty years of trying, and no one has even come close to filling a pair of tights as well as our Errol.”

Visiting with the Vietors
Last year I published a post entitled “A Stay at Palm Beach with the Jell-O Queen” about Errol & Lili’s visit/vacation at Southwood, the prominent mansion of Eleanore Emily Woodward Vietor.*
In response to that post, I received correspondence from a descendent of the Vietors, who has very generously sent some clarifying and enhancing information, including in part the following news articles, the first of which reports (with a corrected date) on the party given for Errol & Lili in 1938. Look at that guest list! The Crockers (parents of Zaca owner Templeton Crocker), the Pillsburys (with all their dough), Howie Hughes, and E.F. Hutton (www.youtube.com…), among many other deep pockets and Cafe Society-Era socialites.

Southwood also had a fascinating JFK connection:

See, also, for an account of the Robin Hood Parody film starring Errol, Lili, Paulette Goddard, et al.:
* Southwood was only a very short walk from Mar-a-Lago, the new Winter White House, designed by the very same architect, Marion Sims Wyeth. … Not that anyone who was anyone on Palm Beach in those days would deign to undertake such a horrendously plebeian trek without chauffeur and vetements formels.
