Errol moves into his newly constructed home in early 1942. There are a few different dates from different sources, but February seems to be the most accurate. Also listed is the actual size based on the dimensions shown on the architect’s preliminary drawings. (Please excuse the quality of the plans.) Also added is a total cost based on today’s economic values.

Errol is a family man here for a few days at Mulholland “ranch”… or “farm” or just plain Mulholland, with his daughter and Nora, while he recovers from his blackwater fever illness. Then it is right into work on Never Say Goodbye.
By the by, I was unable to confirm the photographer’s name for this session and believe it is Bert Six. If you know who it is, please drop us a line here at the blog.
Appreciate it.

In between films, Erol enjoys his second favorite hobby … tennis! His first, of course, is sailing … along with all of the associated water sports. Here he does both during the month of September.

This photo shoot was believed to have been taken between September 28 to October 2, 1944. He is shown here complete with full sideburns in preparation for his film San Antonio, which began filming on September 21st. With no specific records of this photo session, it was most likely done by Bert Six.
Enjoy!

Errol, and a group of four entertainers, spent over a month on a USO tour of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands, cheering up the troops stationed at the U.S. outposts there during World War II.
This map and time frame tries to pinpoint their destinations based on a wide variety of sources … from Army records to some soldiers personal photos (and even some of those documents were contradictory).
Enjoy!
