Sean Flynn, the son of Hollywood icon Errol Flynn and a
photojournalist who disappeared in the Cambodian jungle in 1970, is
getting the feature treatment. Millennium Films will finance and produce
“Flynn,” a biopic based on Sean Flynn's life. “Witchblade” creator
Ralph Hemecker will direct from a screenplay he's writing with Perry
Deane Young and will also produce via his Mythic Films banner.

I have been sent this e-mail from a friend on the TCM Classic Film Union and it is a website where we all can vote for Errol to be #1 – I hope you participate – have fun making Errol #1! Errol must have a lot of fans voting for him as he is #5 on the list already.
Bashor 2202 – his e-mail reads:

Hall of Fame shot where classic movie fans decide the inductees. Four

Foreword – ??
10
Aug
Good morning:
Maybe this belongs in the quiz section but I'd prefer to put it out in the main section; the sentiment deserves a wider audience.
I recently read a very good biography of one of my favourite actors and the opening foreword to the book, I found especially moving (especially in a biography of an actor). The writer of the foreword may come as a surprise to many (myself included) but it could be interesting if some of you guys would like to hazard a guess on who wrote the foreword and of whom he was writing of. For those of you who have the book, and already know… maybe you could refrain from answering for a short period. There is a Flynn connection here.
Here is the foreword —
_____ ____ was as unique in his field as Mozart was in his. His composition was artless.
He didn't have an actory bone in his body. His voice and speech were part of the wind.
His intelligence was clear; devoid of traps or devices. His was a radiant beauty. He glowed
decency and warmth and firm resolute justice. He was charming, forceful and delicate.
Nothing showed. He breathed all the wondrous adjectives as though he were walking through
a park.
One night in a pub, a little old lady asked for his autograph. When asked why she wanted it
she said 'because you're such a comfort'.
PS: For David — Everything fine here. I was in London over the weekend but missed the riots – only just.
best wishes,
Brian.
