The Errol Flynn Blog

What in our humble but extremely well-informed(!) opinions are Errol’s best kisses!?! He had a lot of good ones, I know, but maybe we can select what we regard his top ten.

I’ll help kick things off with this one, which I find especially poignant, not only because of what was being portrayed in the lives of Libby & George Custer, but also because all the difficulties (medical and otherwise) Errol was going through in his own life immediately before and during filming this magnificent motion picture:

My God, these two were wonderful together!!

If any of you think this one should be in the Top Ten, too, please let me know. And please provide a link and/or description of any kisses you believe should be there!

Based on prior research and previous visits, I endeavored this past Thanksgiving weekend to visit as many sites as I could that I connected to (and reportedly connected to) to Errol’s time in Hollywood. Naturally – being the Olympian that he was – there was now way I could visit, find, or even know all of Errol’s homes, houses, haunts, hangouts and hideaways, but I gave it the old college try. This Grand Tour of Flynnland included stops in Laguna, Newport Beach, Balboa, Hollywood, Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Burbank & Glendale.

Below are some of the specific addresses/locations I visited, with very brief descriptions for each. I plan to add brief stories related to some of these in near future. And, please, if anyone has any additions, information, stories, insight, corrections, clarifications, or comments, please do add them. That would be great! Many of these need further investigation and analysis! Thanks.
