Calling Robert and all painting experts!

17 Mar

Who is able to tell me as to who is the painter of this picture and what is the title of it?

I know this is a famous painting, but I am not able to put my finger on it!  Your expertise would be gratefully appreciated as I found a picture related to Errol with more info to follow!

A warm hello to all Authors!

08 Mar

I was just wondering why the blog is so quiet?  Has anybody any answers for this phenomena?  Or is everybody on March Break (Canadian school holiday) with their children – grandchildren?  Do you have this vacation in the good old USA too?

David worked so hard on this move and what a great job he did!  The silence is somewhat eerie!  No stories about our beloved lad?  No comments, no difference of opinion – wow!

I for one, miss all of you and your great insights and fabulous tidbits!  I am really getting lonely nobody to talk to!  Not even a good old silly quiz – nothing – nothing at all!

Come on my dear fellow authors, please lets get active again!

I send you all my best wishes for good heath and happiness!

Ah! Yes – the sons-in-law of Errol!

06 Mar

Ah! Yes – the sons-in-law of Errol! I don’t think we ever touched that subject!

So who knows what – about these two lads?

Beautiful model Arnella Flynn, very much looking like her mother Patrice Wymore married Carl Stoecker – Fashion Photographer extraordinaire  (aka Karl Stöcker, Karl Stoecker) but when?

We do know that Errol’s grandson was born in Jamaica under the name of  Luke Stoecker on August 21, 1975  as the only child of his daughter Arnella Flynn (1953-1998) and fashion photographer Carl Stoecker.

Question:  when did they get married and when did it end? And why?

Now there is another Ms. Stoecker on the scene here, wife of Carl with daughters in this article below.

A Vintage Trove in South Beach

By RUTH LA FERLA
Poshvintage in Miami Beach.Posh Vintage in Miami Beach.

Patti Stoecker is a hoarder, the rarefied kind. In the 1980s, Ms. Stoecker, then a model, used to party all night at the Mudd Club, wearing, as often as not, one of her mother’s silky old slips. By the early ’90s, she had begun collecting her own ’40s-era variations, amassing them by the score and tie-dyeing them on her stove top in Easter-egg hues. For a time she consigned her slinky designs to local secondhand shops, but before long she was selling them from her house, against a dreamy backdrop of mottled peach-tone walls.

“I had hundreds of slips hanging here,” Ms. Stoecker recalled. “It came to the point that I couldn’t keep making them. I just couldn’t go into my kitchen and boil up another batch of fuchsia or blue.”

A self-described “natural enthusiast,” she was quick to adopt a new passion, snapping up vintage fashions on her travels and scattering them throughout her house. Filmy Ossie Clark gowns, ’50s Pucci jersey T-shirts, ’80s Givenchy silk dresses and punchy floral-patterned ’80s tunics have all found a home in Posh Vintage, – Read  > Patti Stoecker – Owner  < ALL About Here – her “showroom,” a revamped storage space that once housed her weed whacker and little else. Other treasures, including vintage rock ’n’ roll tees, Holly Harp and Biba designs, are strewn on sofas, suspended from walls or stowed in cartons on an upper floor.

A tireless researcher, Ms. Stoecker can wax encyclopedic on the romantic attributes of a ’70s Jean Muir jersey dress or Thea Porter caftan. “You gain such an interest in these things that you learn everything you can about them,” she said. Her eclectic enthusiasms extend as well to photographing Miami interiors (an image of Morris Lapidus’s baroque-modern Miami Beach residence is framed on one wall) and to collecting gilt-embellished Florentine nesting tables and paperback novels by F. Scott Fitzgerald, whose melancholy fiction she devours.

Clients and curiosity-seekers craving a glimpse of her fashion archive must pass through a garden — more like a rainforest, really — to reach the concrete 1920s house where Ms. Stoecker lives with her daughters and husband, the fashion and rock photographer Karl Stoecker, who will likely offer a visitor a glass of Pernod to help her settle in.

“I call this place a showroom, but it isn’t really,” Ms. Stoecker said. “This is a personal business to me. I don’t actually expect anybody to come here to buy anything.”

But buy they do, clients who have included Nicole Richie, Mia Farrow and the writer Lena Dunham, making appointments to view the collection firsthand or ordering from her Web site, poshvintage.com…, or from 1stdibs.com…, where covetable pieces from Geoffrey Beene, Bill Tice, Donald Brooks and Pucci fetch prices in the hundreds.

“Over the years I have collected the gamut,” Ms. Stoecker said. “Every ’50s jersey moment, the best of little ’60s Courrèges coats and every little ’90s slip dress.” Recently she has noticed a stepped-up demand for vintage Dior, Valentino and Versace, she said, though not necessarily the raucously colorful signature pieces inspiring a forthcoming Versace-H&M collaboration. “Not everybody wants to parade around in bright medallion prints,” Ms. Stoecker said. But a sinuously curved black dress is something else. “People can still see the quality in it. They can still see the sexiness.”

I would say this is after Arnella and there are half-sisters of Luke?  So anybody  knowing what is what in this scenario ?

Here are some links about Carl Stoecker’s photography and more to be found in Google images!   www.karlstoeckerphotography.com… scrapheap.info…

Then there is  Gideon Amir, husband of Rory and Father of  Sean Rio (Amir) Flynn.  Now we know pretty much everything about Rory and her son Sean Rio Flynn but what do we know about Gideon Amir?

Here is a Bio on Sean Rio, which states that his father is a director/producer but no other details.  Are there any more details known to anybody in our group???

Sean is the son of director/producer, Gideon Amir and Rory Flynn. He is popular for his role in Nickelodeons Zoey 101 as Chase Matthews. He appeared in the first episode of season 4 and in series finale of Chasing Zoey.

His career started as TV commercial model and doing small roles in television like MADtv and Sliders as well as casting in small films. When he was ten years old, he was the second choice of Hillary Duff to portray the role of her younger brother in Lizzie McGuire. In 2005 he was given a big break to be the lead actor in Zoey 101.

Apart form being model and actor, Sean also loves music.  He plays guitar and has great skills as a guitarist, in fact, he is a band member in his school band.

Sean also composed guitar songs which are posted in You Tube. In August 2009 he released and EP where his two songs are included and is planning to out his debit album soon.

Addendum to published Video

“The finger chopping blow”

Edward, Prince of Wales is the main role played by Errol Flynn in  “The Dark Avenger (1955).  The film was also known as The Warriors in the USA, and The Black Prince in the UK although the latter seems to have been a working title. In Greece it was aired on TV as The Black Knight.

St. Joseph Hospital – March 22, 1947

28 Feb

        I would say that is the fee for Rory’s birth being born on March 12th, 1947

Did I hit the nail on the head? I think so!

In Praise Of Jamaica by George Meickel

26 Feb

I was on Friday by my dentist and wile waiting for my appointment I discovered a book on display titled “In Praise Of Jamaica” by George Meikle, subtitled “Celebrating 50 years of independence 1962 – 2012.”

Lo and behold Errol is in it on chapter 21 under “Famous Residents of Jamaica.”

It gave a caption which amazed me!  It quoted that Errol had written part of his MWWW at Ian Flemming’s “Goldeneye” cottage at St. Mary in Oracabessa.  I wonder if that is true but he should know living there?  In addition there is a very nice picture of Errol in the book I have never seen before.

Now, George Meikle lives in Jamaica, he is Canadian and is the brother of John Meikle a doctor who has his office at the same place then my dentist.  Small World? I could get in touch with him!  I am sure the office would give me his e-mail and I could ask him how he got the information about Errol and the Goleneye.  Maybe he would give me a copy of the picture too!  One never knows until we try!

It is a very nice book about Jamaica and I thought I share this little tidbit information with you.
