Errol Flynn’s Mulholland House 1942, Moving In!

29 Aug

Errol moves into his newly constructed home in early 1942. There are a few different dates from different sources, but February seems to be the most  accurate. Also listed is the actual size based on the dimensions shown on the architect’s preliminary drawings. (Please excuse the quality of the plans.) Also added is a total cost based on today’s economic values.

Errol Flynn at Home, and Right Back to Work!

26 Aug

Errol is a family man here for a few days at Mulholland “ranch”… or “farm” or just plain Mulholland, with his daughter and Nora, while he recovers from his blackwater fever illness. Then it is right into work on Never Say Goodbye.

By the by, I was unable to confirm the photographer’s name for this session and believe it is Bert Six. If you know who it is, please drop us a line here at the blog.

Appreciate it.
