Mail Bag! Sean Flynn Apartment Building!

07 Dec

The Mail Bag brings us contemporary views of the apartment building Errol Flynn’s son Sean Flynn lived in in Paris. Debby Phielix sends them with this message:

One of the first things I do when I visit Paris is rush to the Champs Elysees. It is one of my favorite places in Paris. This time I had another goal. To find Sean’s appartment. After leaving the GeorgeV metro station it was easy to find. Next to the Longchamps store was what I was looking for. Sean Flynn’s Paris house. Ofcourse now long gone, but when I looked up I couldn’t help but wonder where in the building he lived.
I doubt there are still appartments in the building as I noticed names of offices next to the door. And it is one of the most expencive streets. I took some pictures and raised my bottle of water as a toast to father and son who are together again in heaven.
I hope the photos are good enough to post. The last one is made across the street, so you can see the whole building.

Thanks, Debby!

Mail Bag! Paval Decker Errol Flynn Painting Copy!

04 Sep

The mail bag brings us a story about a copy of John Decker’s painting that has been in someone’s family for 50 years. Dave Curtin writes us:

Hello,

I was looking to connect with Rory Flynn or someone connected to the Errol Flynn estate.  I saw a blog post – www.theerrolflynnblog.com…

And it inspired me to reach out.  I’m not sure if the family or estate or collectors would be interested, but I have an original Paval portrait of Errol Flynn.  It’s pretty amazing.

It’s been in my family for 50 years as it originally belonged to my father who owned a nightclub in West Hollyood in the 1970s.

Then it went to Newport Beach with him and my stepmom, then came back to me to studio city.   Now it’s back in Newport Beach.

We’ve thought about selling it from time to time but it would need to go to the right person at the right price.  A friend of mine recently purchased a house in West Hollywood behind the comedy store that once belonged to Errol.  I might see if he’d like it in that place since it ties back to the story.

Let me know your thoughts on any of this.  Here’s an attachment of the photo.

Best,  Dave
