ERROL FLYNN AND ALEXIS SMITH AT MGM (1949).

16 Mar

Errol-Flynn-2015 Both Warner Bros contract stars and good friends Errol Flynn and Alexis Smith were loaned out to MGM to star in different films in 1949: Flynn in, ”THAT FORSYTE WOMAN” and Alexis in, ”ANY NUMBER CAN PLAY”. While there they would meet in the commissary, They found few people would talk or say hello to them. They were surprised how cold and unfriendly MGM was VS. WB. They were glad when they had the opportunity to see each other while both were making a film there. Here is a candid photo of Flynn as Soames and Alexis as
Lon Kyng. The photo speaks for itself.

    Wonderful account and photo, Kevin. Thanks.

    I believe Alexis was one of the two (unnamed) great friends Errol referred to in Wicked Ways, the other being Ida Lupino.

    Here’s a great article on the Errolexis friendship:
