Greer Garson, the actress who epitomized a noble, wise and courageous wife in some of the sleekest and most sentimental American movies of the 1940's, died yesterday morning at Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. She was 92. Miss Garson, who had a history of heart problems, had lived at the long-term-care hospital for the last three years, according to Ann Harper, a spokeswoman at the hospital.

Today I was on Amazon and found this French titled book advertised, as the title is unknown to me I went to Google and found the story of a movie (1959) of a boy extremely similar to Errol's life as a youth titled “Les 400 Coups” = The 400 Blows. Please go to Google and read it I could hardly believe it. There is somewhere a connection – I think?
Errol's title is “Mes 400 Coups” = My 400 Blows and he supposedly is the author???
If it has anything to do with MWWW why the parallel to the movie “Les 400 Coups”
Any insides to this – Errolists???
Good looking French kid too!
Wonderful picture of Errol!
This artist's rendering accentuates by giving great emphasis to his chevron eyebrows representing him with that lovely devilish look.

Guinn Terrell Williams Jr.
6' 2″ (1.88 m)
The son of a rancher-turned-politician, Guinn Williams was given the nickname “Big Boy” (and he was, too – 6' 2″ of mostly solid muscle from years of working on ranches and playing semi-pro and pro baseball) by Will Rogers, with whom he made one of his first films, in 1919. Although his father wanted him to attend West Point (he had been an officer in the Army during World War I), Williams had always wanted to act and made his way to Hollywood in 1919. His experience as a cowboy and rodeo rider got him work as a stuntman, and he gradually worked his way up to acting. He became friends with Rogers and together they made around 15 films together. Williams starred in his own series of silent westerns and easily made the transition from silents to talkies. Although he also starred in a series of low-budget westerns in the early and mid-1930s, he really came into his own as a supporting player in the late 1930s and early 1940s, especially at Warner Bros., where he appeared in such resoundingly successful westerns as Dodge City (1939) and Santa Fe Trail (1940) with his friends Errol Flynn and Alan Hale. Williams specialized in the somewhat dim and quick-tempered but basically decent sidekick, a role he would play for the next 20 years or so. He also made films other than westerns, and was in, for example, A Star Is Born (1937) and played strongly against type as a vicious, sadistic killer in The Glass Key (1935). In the early 1960s Williams' health began to deteriorate, which was noticeable in his last film, The Comancheros (1961), in which he had a small part and, sadly, did not look well at all. He died of uremic poisoning shortly afterwards.

Shelby F. Wooley (Sheb Wooley), actor, singer and musician: born Erick, Oklahoma 10 April 1921; married first Beverly Addison (one daughter), second Linda Dotson (one daughter); died Nashville, Tennessee 16 September 2003
Wooley was born on a farm in Erick, Oklahoma, in 1921. As an adolescent, he roped steers with his brothers and rode in rodeos; the injuries he thus sustained stopped him from active service during the Second World War and instead he worked in a defence plant. In 1950 he was given a role in the western film Rocky Mountain, which starred Errol Flynn. When an attractive girl mistook him for Flynn, he took advantage of the mistake, later admitting, “You can imagine I did some of my best acting that night, although I had a hell of a time with the Australian accent.”
With his riding abilities, Wooley was ideal for westerns. He appeared in Distant Drums (1951) with Gary Cooper and was featured in two films about General Custer, Little Big Horn (1951) and Bugles in the Afternoon (1952). In 1952 Wooley played Ben Miller, one of the brothers wanting to gun down Gary Cooper in Fred Zinnemann's epoch-making western High Noon. Other westerns included Johnny Guitar (1953), Man Without a Star (1955) and Rio Bravo (1959), with John Wayne and Dean Martin. He appeared in the film musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954) and the now legendary Giant (1956), with Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean.
In 1958 Wooley became a regular member of the cast of Rawhide, a western television series about a cattle drive, starring Eric Fleming and Clint Eastwood. Playing the role of Pete Nolan, Wooley remained with the series for several years, writing some of the later scripts. He recorded an album, Songs from the Days of Rawhide (1961) and, in a similar vein, Tales of How the West Was Won (1963).
In 1969 Wooley wrote the theme music for a new CBS TV country show, Hee Haw, and he performed many times on the programme, either as himself or Ben Colder. He was reunited with Clint Eastwood for a small role in The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) and also appeared in Starman (1984) with Jeff Bridges and Silverado (1985) with Kevin Kline and John Cleese. He starred alongside Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper in the basketball film Hoosiers (1987), while a film of his song, Purple People Eater, was made in 1988 with Chubby Checker and Little Richard.
He left instructions that his funeral service should be held at “high noon”.

Ida Lupino, an earthy, intelligent movie actress who created a luminous gallery of worldly wise villainesses, gangster's molls and hand-wringing neurotics, died on Thursday night at her home in Burbank, Calif. She was 77 years old. Miss Lupino had cancer and had recently suffered a stroke, Mary Ann Anderson, her former secretary, said yesterday.
Ida Lupino was born in London on Feb. 4, 1918, during a German zeppelin bombing. Miss Lupino was petite, standing only 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 112 pounds. She had auburn hair and violet eyes framed by half-inch-long lashes. Her leisure pursuits included skin diving, writing short stories and children's books, and composing music. One work, “Aladdin Suite,” was performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra.
Miss Lupino is survived by a daughter, Bridget Duff, and a sister, Rita Lupino.

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

His looks are as if playing Shakespeare!
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!'

Ardis Ankerson Gaines
Brenda wanted to be a film actress, all right; it's just that she didn't want to be Brenda Marshall. Throughout her years in Hollywood, she insisted that her friends and co-workers address her not by her studio-fabricated cognomen, but by her given name of Ardis Anderson Gaines. A Warner Bros. contractee of the early 1940s, Anderson/Marshall did her best work opposite Errol Flynn in The Sea Hawk (1940) and Footsteps in the Dark (1941). From 1941 through 1973, Brenda Marshall was married to actor William Holden, a curious union that evidently soured early on (Holden's friends blamed Marshall, and vice versa), and was distinguished by extended separations and numerous extracurricular romances
