Errol Flynn: Celebrity Waterskiing Pioneer
31
Jan
While still in its infancy, long before it became nationally popular, and before even the first known water skiing club was formed (on Lake Washington in Seattle), Errol was expertly skiing off the coast of California.
On one occasion skiing off the beach of Coronado, it’s been said he was ordered to stop by local authorities, who didn’t know what to think about this rarely-seen activity. There are some other great accounts of Errol out waterskiing – such as off of Catalina with David Niven, onto a beach in Jamaica for a celebrity beach party, to work in the Med. But photos proving he skied appear to be very rare. Here’s one though, from what I would say is the late 30s or early 40s, very early for anyone to be waterskiing, nevermind Hollywood’s greatest star.

Flynn Says “No”.
“Actor Errol Flynn denies that he showed Peggy Satterlee the moon through the porthole pointed out on a diagram of his yacht Sirocco by Deputy District Attorney John Hopkins. Flynn’s answers to questions during his trial on charges of rape consisted mostly of one word — “No.”

Errol with the Stars & Angels
Scroll down to the fifth clip, from the WPA Film Library, titled “Celebs at PCL Baseball Game”.
See Errol “playing baseball”, looking better at the plate than DiMaggio.*
Despite Errol’s best efforts and magnificent batting stance, this is just not cricket.
* Joltin’ Joe’s wife once wowed the crowd at this very same venue, long gone Gilmore Field,along with one of EF’s best friends, the great Mickey Rooney.
** It’s a close call, but Chuck Connors may have been in the pre-game show and playing for the Angels at this event with Errol, before he himself became a Hollywood star of the cinematic type, though not nearly as incandescent as either Errol or Marilyn.
