Errol Flynn in Cuba documentary “in the pipeline”. … Written, produced and directed correctly, this could be muy bueno.

Prompted by Delvan’s recent comment/correction, who is Lorraine Dora?
P.S. Anyone see a resemblance to Lili?

Errol, Rory & Dierdre at The Nautilus!?!
26
May
This wonderful photo is thought to be Errol, Rory & Dierdre at the glorious Nautilus Resort in Miami Beach, but I’m not certain. Errol used to sail up to and stay at the Nautilus, repeatedly in the Zaca, and possibly once in the Sirocco, too, on its maiden voyage from Boston to LA. I believe this may have been taken by the wall to the side of the resort’s famous pool, with Nora nearby. I visited this location yesterday, on the site of what is now Miami’s Mt. Sinai Hospital. The setting is magnificent. Anyone know for sure if this is or is not “Errol Flynn and his daughters” at the Nautilus.

Cuba Libre, Baby

(Almost) Time to drink where Errol drank! I’ll have an Errol Flynn at Sloppy Joe’s and a Cuba Libre at Bodequita del Medio’s. I think someone down there should mix up an El Capitan Bloody Maria, too!

Looks Like Lili may have been On a Big Time Rebound When She Hooked Up with Errol!
14
May
Well, well. Another twist in the anything-but-Liliputian life of Lili Damita. Turns out she may have been dumped by a notable Englisman/Australian for a German Baroness not long before she met Errol – or possibly she did the dumping?
Lili appears to have been on the rebound when she met Errol! She was previously engaged or at least pre-engaged to marry a rather notable Englishman/Australian, Hugo Brassey, with very strong and high level connections Down Under – he was the grandson of the govenour of Victoria, Thomas Brassey and his then very well-known author-wife, Annie Brassey, as well as the nephew of His Excellency of New South Wales. Brassey appears to left Lili in 1935 and married a German baroness, Baroness von Bodenhausen related to the Queen of England. (The Baroness may have also been possibly related to the 19th Century painter, Baron von Bodenhausen, but I haven’t confirmed that.)
In the same timeframe, Hugo Brassey became a key figure in the development of Dunk Island, a notable Great Barrier Reef resort location, frequented by many VIPs and celebrities over the years, including Sean Connery:
Interestingly, the Brasseys have a strong official Northhampton connection, too.
I wonder what all those Brasseys thought when the brash and brassey Errol Flynn – with a quite unique and controversial reputation in both New South Wales AND Northhampton – married Hugo’s ex-fiancee!?
Lord Brassey Entertains King Kalakaui. He apparently almost became Lili’s grandfather-in-law.
Stunningly Beautiful Dunk Island, where Lili’s ex took his baroness bride. Wonder what Tiger Lil’ thought of that.
