Did I miss it or did no one report on the fact that 2 Flynn alumni, from his very last dramatic appearance (The Golden Shanty), passed last year:
Patricia Barry (Adie Walker)
Arthur Hiller (Director) below with Errol.

What Two TV Stars …
02
Jan
… appeared in a successful TV series together and… also, separately, had screen appearances in some Errol Flynn films: one of them twice, and the other 6 times (though actually there were 7 only this actor’s scenes were deleted).
Hints:
One began film career in 1916; the other had a diverse job career: ranch hand, a deputy sheriff, photo salesman, and a singer in night clubs before beginning a film career.
One appeared in over 100s film in the course of his career; the other more than 50.
One worked with Hitchcock, the other with Bogie 8 times.
In the 50s one appeared in a seminal Sci Fi film that led to a number of “sequels”, the other appeared in a landmark teen film.
One’s final film appearance was with a bombshell of the 60s. The other a fondness for flowers and grapes in this actor’s later life.
That’s a start…

Sean In The News

I have what I call, my “Magic Box”, with it you can get any film, program, music, whatever one can ever imagine with a click of finger, including movies that are in the theaters now. (not sure if I should mention that?) – In any case out of the thousands of Apps I can pick from, I have one that I truly adore; all on documentaries, any flavor one can imagine. War docs., Classic Film docs. Bios, etc. are on the top of my list.
In search of a Vietnam doc I ran into one I had never seen before, It was a bad copy, yet I watched it as it was with Sean Flynn in Vietnam reporting live (I believe) to Chet Huntley in New York NBC. Although I watched the whole program, I thought I would check online in seeing if I could find a better copy, and I did, of course its on Youtube.
I am probably the last to see this as I am sure you all have, but just in case anyone else here has not, I thought I would post the link anyway.
It’s still tragic in knowing this fine young man was killed in the manner we think he was. If Errol had still been alive, I feel pretty confident he would have made a difference in getting his son back alive, or if all else his body, so Sean could have received a proper burial, and maybe have bene laid next to his dad.

In a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Dec
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy is gone.
How terribly, terribly sad. One of the last true greats from Hollywood’s Golden Age has died, only a day after her daughter, also a film legend.
Around the time of her playing Tammy, there was discussion of Debbie Reynolds costarring with Errol, following his own great success in The Sun Also Rises. This was all circa the time Liz ran off with the Louse, leaving the unsinkable Debbie with two Fisher toddlers, Todd and Carrie. Carrie, of course, achieved immortality of her own starring in Star Wars with spacebuckler Hans Solo, a character inspired by Errol himself. Except for Harrison, they are all now in a galaxy far, far away. Godspeed to all of them.

The Search for Sean Flynn & Dana Stone Ends …

Dec
I was contacted by Dave Hope this afternoon with some startling information: Sean Flynn and Dana Stone were executed within hours of their capture at dusk on April 6th, 1970. And he knows where they are buried.
To understand the full story you must read the full history of the event that took their lives, and the notes Dave provides. Click the image above for Dave’s detailed Facebook account. And the image below for his detailed notes.
Dave Hope tells me when the dry season comes around again he and his team will go to the location they have found for a very detailed examination of the burial area. This search has been an unending one for Rory Flynn and her family and Dave Hope has been tirelessly and patiently pursuing answers that have eluded others, most notably Tim Page, for decades.
Thank you Dave for your dedication and determination to get to the end of this decade’s long mystery …
Dave Hope points to the area where Sean Flynn & Dana Stone were executed just a few kilometers from where they were captured.
