A very popular LA restaurant & dance hall in Chinatown’s Ferguson Alley, where Errol celebrated selling “The White Rajah” to Warner Brothers. Lily and friends were there to enjoy an 11-course feast including place cards of specially hand-carved ivory.

Dear fellow Flynn fans,
our Hollywood hero looms large in Roger Moore’s biography “Last man standing: Tales from Tinseltown” published as “One Lucky Bastard” in the United States. The second coming of James Bond had once been the prime choice to star as Errol Flynn.
But Roy Huggins’ projected filming of “My wicked wicked ways” was vetoed by none other than Jack Warner.
When Jumping Jack had to learn that Flynn spoke treason about him posthumou(r)sly, he had an extra removed from the Warner Bros. premises simply because the poor chap slightly resembled Errol.
Mooreover Roger remembered being summoned by JW while auditioning for the role. The volatile studio boss asked the young actor if he really wanted to star in a film depicting him, the movie mogul, as a petty thief. “Very much so.”, the Brit with esprit shot back.
Surprisingly the project was equalized on the spot and RM went on to become a Saint, a Persuader and ultimately a Double O’ Seven.
Enjoy,
