Errol Flynn’s daughter, model/photographer Rory Flynn visited location sites in Lone Pine, California, of her Father’s cinema successes THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE and KIM. Both were filmed in the Alabama Hills outside of Lone Pine. Rory had never been to the area and sat down amongst the spectacular rocks to enjoy the view and chat with actor (and Flynn super fan) Bruce Boxleitner and producer/host Rob Word about her famous father.

Sean’s Paris apartment

03 Oct

Last weekend I made a short trip to Paris. A very short trip, but I had time to see Sean’s apartment on the Champs Elysees. I made a quick picture of the building. Not very clear, sorry for that. But the announcement on the door tells us that there are works going on in the building. I would love to explore this building, but there is no way strangers can get into the building. On a next visit to Paris I try to make some time to take pictures of the surrounding streets and the views from the front of the building. If someone is looking for the building, the Longchamps store is next door and the George V metro station very close.

29 Apr

The Mail bag brings a request by Errol’s daughter Rory Flynn:

She writes –

“My grandfather‘s brother lives in Ireland (one of them) the other lives in Sydney that I know (if they’re still alive), and I know they have children but I’m just wondering if anybody has any connections to Sligo, Ireland … and knows of any of the relatives of Errol that still live in there?”
Thanks, Rory …

Errol Flynn and a Busy December, 1935

13 Apr

 After a portrait shoot … then traveling to New York City with wife Lily (Lili, if you prefer) … and all of the fanfare for the premiere of Captain Blood in three cities, including parties, restaurants and publicity stops … Errol’s month of December was filled to the brim with activities and excitement.

Enjoy!

Errol Flynn at Home, and Right Back to Work!

26 Aug

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.
