I was chatting with Jennifer Davis on Facebook Messenger and she mentioned her friendship with Beverly Aadland’s daughter, Aadlanda. They run a page together dedicated to her mother. She also mentioned Ida Carlini Lynn’s Cuban friend who owned a club in NYC Errol frequented and often hung out with Errol in Cuban casino’s as seen in this shot from Cuban Story. That is Ida Carlini far right at the gambling table with Errol & Beverly Aadland.
Idea Carlini far fright.
Ida Carlini.
Ida Carling far right.
Idea Carlini far left with Sammy Davis and friends.
Thanks Jennifer!

What a gorgeous and obviously exciting young woman she was, David. By pure coincidence (while Flynnvestigating in Miami yesterday), I drove right by her home, or at least where I believe she recently lived. Would love to meet her. Here’s a photo of her when she lived (not too far from me) in Brooklyn.

“One night Errol Flynn walked in (to “The African Room” in mid-town Manhattan) with his girlfriend who he called Woodsie, a beautiful blonde totally in love with him and ready to party. We became fast friends. They were on their way to Cuba to do a movie and I was on my way to work in the Tropicana. We promised to meet up and every night after my show I would get together with them at the Capri Hotel. I went on the set and Errol introduced me to his pet monkey, which he had taught to perform some crazy tricks.
The revolution had started and we all left Cuba. We were to meet up at my new club called Ida’s Hangup. A couple of years later Errol came by to wish me well and days later I heard he had passed. He and Woodsie were a wonderful couple and just recently I found out she passed also at a young age. They are finally together. Rest in Peace my friends.”
