Oh, Olivia.

14 Apr

Attributed to Olivia, 1978, in a discussion about the most legendary drinkers in film history:

“During filming of “The Swarm”, 1978, a disaster film about killer bees, starring Michael Caine, Henry Fonda, Ben Johnson, Slim Pickens and Fred MacMurray, definitely some guys who knew something about putting them down. One day they were joined for lunch at the Warner Brothers commissary by the quiet Olivia de Havilland. There were complaints that no booze was being served. “That’s because of Errol Flynn”, said de Havilland. “He used to get so drunk he couldn’t work, so Mr. Warner said no more booze.”

The men wanted to hear more about the famous swashbuckler. “Oh my God, that Errol Flynn was something. Do you know he once got so drunk he wagered a film crew $500 that he’d have his way with me.” The men could see she was a lady and the incident must have been embarrassing for her. Olivia grinned mischievously “Oh it was, it was. And you see that tree on the hill out the window. That’s where he won his bet!”

Actin’ Like Flynn >>> From Errol to Eternity >>> >>> Virtual Errol/Digital Flynn

06 Mar

Is this the Future of Flynn? Syn-Flynn?

Rotoscoping, Computer Cloning, Silicentric Vactoring, Synthespianism, Schwartzneggerism, Avataring?

It’s on its way. And what about DNA recreation?

books.google.com…

Here’s a notable early prototype, one of The Baron’s Bundy Drive Buddies. Other A-Listers in the Flynn Crowd, including Dietrich and Bogie have been done, too.

And Marilyn, but “not yet ready for her close up”.
