Dear Flynnstones,
shortly after Easter, Mrs. Waltraut Haas passed over at age 97.
She was to play Maria, the second female lead, in Errol‘s ill fated Will Tell.
Never ill willed and always a good sport, she told us all about it: www.theerrolflynnblog.com…
She is an Austrian actress icon and will forever be remembered as Mariandl, a role that made her famous at the tender age of 17:
She enjoyed 80 more years on screen and stage alongside stars like Curd Juergens, Heinz Ruehmann and Karlheinz Boehm.
Although Flynn missed the appleshot and she never got paid, she spoke about our Hollywood hero fondly.
Enjoy,
— shangheinz
