I watched a documentry about the movie producer Robert Evans, before he was a big shot movie mogul he was a struggling actor who had appeared with Jmes Cagney in “Man of a thousand faces playng Irving Thalberg. Out in a nightclub he gets spotted by Darryl Zanuck who wants him to play the part of a bullfighter in “The sun also rises”opposite Ava Gardner, so he flew to Mexico to prepare for the role , but when Ernest Hemingway seen him he didn't want him in the role so he sent a telegram to Zanuck along with Ava Gardner Tyrone Power and Eddie Albert sayiing the movie would be a disaster if Evans was kept in the picture Errol Flynn refused to sign it and just laughed according to Evans himself. Nice guy our man flynn. Evans was kept in the movie

feels like home

23 Apr

A big thank you to all EF blog authors for the warm welcome I have recieved, it feels like I've stepped into a room full of familiar friends that feels like home. It is so gratifying to discuss  all the different aspects of this man's life, and what a life!

                                                                 How could anyone fail to be inspired by a life so full and so varied in such a short timespan,never a moment wasted and as he said himself “I enjoyed every minute of it”.

My Thoughts on Errol Flynn

17 Apr

As far back as I can remember Errol Flynn has fascinated me, as a small child he was the

 hero who had me rivetted to the screen.then one day I happened upon a book

called “My Wicked wicked ways” the first time I read it I was thirteen I've read it twice since and each time I take away something different from it .

                   In my humble opinion he was a man whose feelings about things ran a lot deeper than the world at large would suspect, and all his life he only ever wanted to impress and earn the  respect of his father.

                                  I think a lot of the time he was misunderstood which brings me to the question mark symbol he had on suits and a flag on his yacht, may have been saying “why me” Finally the magic that is Flynn stems I think from a persona that didn't take himself to seriously and blessed with a unique talent to make us  believe that heroes really do exist
