Errol on the Courts
11
Aug
Wherever he played, Errol was quite talented on the courts and popular in the clubs. Here are some photos of him at some of his favorite courts, with some of his fellow stars:
With Charlie Chaplin at the Los Angeles Tennis Club:
With Paulette Goddard:
With Silent Movie Star Charlie Farrell & Tennis Great Alice Marble (and I don’t know who on Errol’s left!)* at the Palm Springs Raquet Club, which Farrell and Ralph Bellamy founded:
*Kay Shackleton – The Movie Gal – informed us on March 22, 2014 – that the man on Errol’s left is none less than Donald Budge! Budge may have been the greatest tennis player that ever lived.

Errol at the Hotel Del?
08
Aug
Hello All Flynn Fans & Experts,
In researching Errol’s history on Coronado Island, California, I have been able to positively document that he regularly visited the island with the Sirocco. And, of course, he’s known to have filmed “Dive Bomber” there during 1941. However, historical records appear to be devoid of any (off-the-set/”out-in-town”) photographs. I believe, though, that I may have made a possible connection between the great photo below and the Hotel Del Coronado. If so, this would be wonderful for San Diego & Coronado historians. … Before making a final conclusion, however, I would like to inquire with all the experts, fans and insiders out there whether they might have any information or insight concerning the history and/or provenance of this terrific photo!?! And, if it’s from another location, that, too, would be great to document!
For the record, my initial belief is that this may have been taken in or around the Spring of ’41, while Errol was filming “Dive Bomber” on Coronado.

“Errol Flynn: On Broadway” – “Things You Never Knew About Ships”

Aug
Errol standing in for Walter Winchell. “Things You Never Knew About Ships” – published in the Summer of 1940, during the spectacularly popular (first) release of “Sea Hawk” – which was released a second time – again to great popularity – in 1947. Errol references the movie several times in this article. (Also interesting – in the separate article to the side – Jimmie Fidler takes an apparent jab at Errol!)
