On the 1st of July 2014, photographer Andy Gotts MBE released his latest portrait of the stunning 98 year old Olivia de Havilland for her Birthday. I had to share this beautiful photograph, you can stare at her face and still see all those fantastic characters she portrayed in the Flynn movies over 70 years ago.

So if any of you are fans of the TV series The Tudors you may be happy to hear that costumes from films such as The Private Lives of Elizabeth & Essex and The Sea Hawk may have been re-used for some of the costumes worn by Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the role of young Henry VIII.
Joan Bergin, the costume designer for 'The Tudors' –
“So, we've brought in dresses from Krakow, Madrid, Lithuania, London, LA. In fact, I discovered a huge trove of costumes from a 1930s Errol Flynn film which I found when I was costuming The Prestige in Hollywood. It was an enormous stroke of luck because they were perfect for the period and have the wonderful craftsmanship and attention to detail you'd expect from the Studio Era. And, in fact, Jonathan wears some of Flynn's refurbished costumes.”

I however have not come across any that have stood out or that I recognised from Flynn's movies, but if anyone see's/knows, I'd love to know!

The series of photos of the screenteam fencing offset 'Captain Blood' in 1935 are without a doubt my favourite photo's of the two together – Last week I bought 2 photo's I hadn't seen before from this candid photoshoot off eBay and the first of the 2 arrived today – So I share it with you, sadly the scan turned out quite unclear, but I tried to edit the brightness to clear up the image as much as possible!
My plan is to get every photo from the series of Flynn and deHavi in this candid photoshoot and frame them as a set so I can look at 'em everyday!
ENJOY

Not sure if any of you lot have seen some of the behind the scenes shots of Orlando Bloom in the upcoming movie 'The Three Musketeers' …..is it just me or is he looking very Errol Flynnish? (picture attatched)
So he's done the archery like Flynn in LOTR, He's been a Pirate like Flynn, now he's looking like Lord Essex …like Flynn. Also found out the Orlando Bloom is now a father and his son is called Flynn!

I just wanted to say to my youtube friends on the Errol Flynn blog, that my channel is slowly being restored after it being terminated by youtube because of a video i made 4 years ago to a supertramp song. Losing over 300 subscribers and 200 uploaded tributes to Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Bette Davis and many more was, lets say, a kick in the teeth. This is the new channel which over the next month or two will hopefully have most of the tributes uploaded onto it again.
Thanks & I hope you are all well,
Samuel,
