The Errol Flynn Blog

After finding
last year a slanderous paragraph about Errol on the Hermann
Erben Wikipedia page about Errol being anti-Semitic and various other nasty things and that a letter exists to proof this
allegation!
I went to work and  requested this paragraph to be removed!  I had to repeat my entries several
times as Wikipedia removed my entries consistently and I re-entered it just as
consistently. 

Below is now the confirmation of
deletion of that paragraph – small success, but one less slanderous entry about
Errol.

My words below are in an edited format by
Wikipedia.  PROOF is the word to use! Also, read it carefully you will
notice that it is not slander when a person is dead.  How
convenient for all those slanderous ink slingers.

Talk:Hermann Erben from Wikipedia

Nothing but slanderous talk about Errol Flynn! It says about the
letter “if genuine”! If genuine indeed – is the key word! Is
there such letter? If so, it MUST be produced, where is it? Why even
speak about something that cannot be substantiated? Therefore it is only
hearsay and only slanderous talk about Errol Flynn, who never was
“ANTI” to any race, creed or color!

To the editor of this page! It says in your rules and
regulations that what is printed in Wikipedia must be verifiable. Your
statement of Errol Flynn's letter is not verifiable! Where is the
letter? If you are unable to produce this “letter” you should remove
this paragraph as it is not verifiable and only malicious slander! —Preceding comment added by Bariebel (talk • contribs) 23:25, 31 January

Technically, it's neither slander nor libel because Flynn is dead (or that's how I
understand it, anyway). And – from what I understand – it is
verifiable, in that it's been quoted in a reputable scholarly biography
of Flynn. However, it is not relevant to an article about
Erben, and so I have removed it. DS (talk) 15:52, 2 March 2010

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, straining upon the start.
The game's afoot: follow your spirit; and, upon this charge cry
'God for Harry! England and Saint George!'

Hi, To all the Errol Flynn fans, for My first story to introduce myself, I will tell you why and how I became more interested in Errol Flynn as the years went on……. Growing up in the late 40s and 50s, some where there was always a Errol Flynn movie being shown at the movies or on TV when it first arrived, and after seeing a Flynn movie, you could always somehow remember his face but not necessary the name of the movie, Flynn's  looks seem to leave a permanent picture on the brain….And then when his movies became less frequent and other things entered your life, (girls, cars,etc.) well, you know! I remember at home one morning and my mother was reading the newspaper, when she slowly put the newspaper down, went into the other room, sat down and said to my father, “Errol Flynn has just died”, as if it was a member of the family….

They were very E.F. fans especially my mother (and that's another story)…… The years rolled on….When I was in my early twenties, I had the opportunity to go onboard Errol's schooner “Sirocco” I could not believe it, Me on Errol Flynn's boat, amazing… to walk the deck and anywhere I liked, all through the cabins, then it hits you, you start to remember, the movies of Flynn, and for a moment you start think you are Errol Flynn, Oh.! What an extraordinary feeling…..

Some years later, when I was in the south of France, and was talking to some people from my hotel and they knew that I was from Australia, one said ' your movie friend Errol Flynn's boat is down there, I said ” Oh.! Sirocco”… No, No, the other boat “Zaca”, I could not believe it, I had thought Zaca had sunk years ago, I could not get down to the marina quick enough, and there she was, just sitting there, stripped of everything, what a wreck!

I obtained permission to go onboard, well, what can one say, in my lifetime to be on both of Errol Flynn's Yachts, I walked around the deck for about an hour, just thinking and staring… could not go below all boarded up! At that not knowing much about Zaca and Flynn's private life away from his movie  making; it was some years later when Errol's movies became available on DVD that I mention to my wife about being on Flynn's boats, and might do some research on Zaca, and to do an Oil painting of her, I have been an artist for a number of years amongst other adventurous titles. Looking through dozens of Errol Flynn Web sites have realised how popular Errol is today. Finished the painting of Zaca as she was in 1946 (the painting is for sale to anyone interested). Have started on painting “Sirocco”. Then will do a portrait of Errol…..what happened to John Decker's painting of  Flynn?

Regards to all, Trevor

I am sorry to be so bold and ask the much more informed body of this membership a few questions, which are of great interests to me.  It puzzles me very much as to why Errol's estate was for 14 years in probate, does anybody know the real reason?  14 years is a very long time!  There was a will and Patrice received the estate, there was Nora who contested the will, there was Beverly who contested the will, but all this could have not taken 14 years, there must have been other issues – what were the issues?
Why did the sale of the ZACA did not go through as arranged in Vancouver?  I thought the papers were signed?  Has anybody conclusive and

irrefutable information about this situation as to why and how this long probate could have ever happend?  In an interview Patrice says the ZACA was taken away from her.  How – if it was under probate?  All this is another great mystery in Errol's aftermath!  We are told Patrice had no money, but how does this come into the picture?  Once there are assets, there are no questions about money, because the money is in the assets!  I think Errol was shafted and mislead all his life by somebody or another!  It is horrible to think, but I am coming somehow to the conclusion he never had an honest person around him?  I can believe that he was very naive in many ways and things, but nobody is that naive!  Your valued insight would be very much appreciated!

Oddly, the glamour of 1930s Hollywood became a part of the ASTC experience. Andy Devine, who had attended the college in 1926, often returned to campus with “intriguing” young starlets. He took time from his movie career and Jack Benny's NBC radio program to select the La Cuesta yearbook queens from photographs. One lucky queen, Julie Osborne (1938), received a personally guided tour of Universal Studios from Andy. In 1939, Erroll Flynn [sic] and Randolph Scott, who were filming Virginia City near Flagstaff, selected Alice Moore as queen

Errol just seems to be found in unexpected places.  I am reading Airframe by Michael Crichton and on page 77 . . . “She walked down the corridor, past the photographs of famous Norton aircraft from the past, with a celebrity posed in front: . . . Errol flynn, with smiling girls in the tropics, in front of an N-5 . . . .” !!!!

Dear Fellow 'EF' bloggers, It never ceases to amaze me,the broad stratum of info out there on Errol's life and times. With your 'super sleuth' ability it would seem that we all enjoy a new thread in the rich fabric of Errol's life on a weekly basis. Playing on those averages then , Im second guessing that someone knows something about Errol's sister ? After marrying an 'Airforce Officer' by the name of 'Warner' ( how ironic) and moving to the 'States' her trail seems to go relatively cold. I'd really like to know if Errol had any nieces or nephews??  Well I have every faith that one of you knows something and would greatly appreciate any notes you would care to share.

Travel well . Best&Kindest, Chris
