In late 1937 the directors of The Adventures of Robin Hood, Michael Curtiz and William Keighley, presented Errol Flynn with this statue, for all his hard work on the phenomenally successful movie. A European master artist had been instructed by the film’s producers to create this Art-Deco figurine in the likeness of Flynn in his starring role. It stands 30 inches tall from the top of the wooden bow, to the bottom of the Italian Swirled marble base and weighs approximately 30-35 pounds.
It spent many years in Errol Flynn’s holiday home in New Hampshire in the U.S.A.
Errol had a holiday home in New Hampshire?

This is a fascinating occurrence that appeared in Tasmania May 2015. I also have found reference to it occurring in San Diego -I am sure there are other areas as well. Just magical!

The personal and professional life of three-time Academy Award winning Australian costume designer Orry-Kelly is celebrated in Orry-Kelly: Dressing Hollywood, which runs from 18 August to 17 January. There are many items on display, including 10 of Orry-Kelly’s costumes. Film critic Luke Buckmaster examines a handful of these costumes, revisits the films they were made for and speaks to lead curator Ulanda Blair.
Director Gillian Armstrong’s new documentary Women He’s Undressed celebrates the life of Australian costume designer Orry-Kelly. The Kiama-born expat migrated to Hollywood in the early 1930s and came to be regarded as one of the greatest costume designers of all time – dresser of Bette Davis, Jane Fonda, Ingrid Bergman, Natalie Wood, Humphrey Bogart, Carey Grant and countless others – Errol Flynn as Don Juan!

I have 2 photos that show Errol arriving at the Scripps Institute and meeting with Carl Hubbs. I had not seen these before and I thought you may enjoy. These photos are posted with permission from “SIO Photo Lab Collection, Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego”. The gentlemen with him are the Director of the Scripps Institute Harald Ulrik Sverdrup (in the business suit) and Carl Hubbs (in the white coat).
