Doppelgänger

31 Jul

Dear Flynnstones,

there can never be another Flynn, right?

But while reading  Samuel Marx’ superb book “Deadly Illusions“ on Jean Harlow and the murder of Paul Bern, I came across a namesake actor’n’athlete, who could have given Errol a run for his ringside reputation. en.m.wikipedia.org…
MBF threw in the Tinseltown towel early and made way for the real deal. He may have given Warners the idea to market our Hollywood hero as a bonafide boxer of Olympic proportions though. Luckily they didn‘t change the name of the aspiring contender to Terrence Thompson or Leslie LeBaron  or…

The studio then and there already knew the prequel can never outdo the original.

Enjoy,
