Voyage of the Platypii – A Singular Adventure for Young Errol Flynn
30
May
Master Flynn Goes West – Through the East. His first international adventure! This is the trip Errol talks about in (His) Wicked, Wicked Ways. Not so great for the platypii, perhaps, but surely one of the most important and formative adventures of Errol’s life!

Robin Hood Returns?
29
May
In an article reporting the stunning success of Spain’s left-wing Podemos Party in this week’s European Parliament elections, the New York Times reprised a comparison of the party’s very young, handsome & popular candidate, Pablo Iglesias, to Our Man Flynn. Looks like it’s not the last of Robin Hood:
For our Spanish-speaking audience:

“The Orson Welles of Rock ‘n’ Roll” – Errol’s Little (Feat) Neighbor
27
May
Errol (and his pet monkey) left a big impression on the kid who lived near him on Mulholland Drive. One he never forgot. Like Errol, he died far too young, but, in his day, this boy grew into the man Jackson Browne called “The Orson Welles of Rock ‘n’ Roll” and Bonnie Raitt declared the best singer/songwriter/guitarist in the world. Lowell George – son of the famous “Furrier to the Stars”, who had a chinchilla ranch right by Mulholland Farm. Member of the Mothers of Invention & Leader of Little Feat, he played also with Harry Nilsson, Frank Zappa, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Jackson Browne, Christopher Cross, Robert Palmer, Randy Newman and other legends from the 70’s. Here’s an account of his connection to Errol and a video of him on Midnight Special.

Sirocco on Mulholland Drive
27
May
On Thanksgiving Weekend last year, I was up on Mulholland surveying the situation, trying to get a fix on the exact layout of Mulholland Farm. While doing so, I was greatly surprised to see a home called “Sirocco” only walking distance east of Errol’s old spot!
Naturally, I did take a photo of the Spanish tile “Sirocco” sign, but have lost the cell phone I had that shot saved on! Fortunately, though, I did write down the address. It’s @ 7621,about only 2000-ft from 7740, Errol’s address, on the opposite (north) side of Mulholland Drive.
Here’s the famous film noir star who lived there at “Sirocco” during Errol’s day – Dan Duryea (who I most remember from Pride of the Yankees & Wagon Train, I believe. But, IMO, it’s highly unlikely Dan Duryea would have named hs estate Sirocco. So, who did!!!???!!! Anyone in Flynnlandia know!?!

Ever seen these photo's before?
I came across another great source of photos many of which I have never seen before, and that is saying alot. There is even a photo from "The Last Of Robin Hood" not seen before. At least I havn't seen it yet. Click the link to check them all out. Some of the images are samples of films in that they are a second or two long. This guy is a true fan.
