Was Albert Einstein one of Errol’s amazing universe of friends? Absolutely, relates this relatively unknown account. Is this just Hollywood spin? An unproven theory?
Periodically, Einstein did circulate with a cluster of mega-stars from LA LA Land. But, in the orbit of Errol? For the reasons postulated? Improbable perhaps, but, as with all things Flynn, not astronomically impossible. Here’s A.E. with J.W., four years before Errol arrived from another world:
And he was a high-flying star in a film at Warner Brothers …

Sean Flynn in FIVE ASHORE IN SINGAPORE
18
Aug
In the Mail Bag we receive this nice inquiry from French film director Raphael Millet. Unfortunately, I do not have any hi res scans or photos of this poster and am wondering if any of you can help him out? He writes:
Bonjour,
I found your contact on the Errol Flynn blog.
I am a French film director, producer and critic.
I love Errol Flynn’s movies.
I also have a passion for Sean Flynn, and great interest in the later part of his life (from 1965 onwards).
I am currently writing a long article about the movie FIVE ASHORE IN SINGAPORE for a magazine published in Singapore.
I have many images of it, including French lobby cards, posters in various languages. But I have no poster of the film in English, and I think this would be most relevant for a publication in English.
I noticed that you have a very nice poster in your collection (see image here attached).
Would it be possible to ask you for a very good high res copy or photo of it, if you have any, in order to have it reproduced in the magazine, together with my article?
It would be a nice way to celebrate Sean Flynn and to pay tribute to his Singaporean adventure.
In exchange, I’d be very happy to have a copy of the magazine being mailed to you, upon publication (around October).
Looking forward to your kind reply.

Guinn Big Boy Williams Night on Boot Hill …

Jun
Found this out on the Prairie, near Dodge City in an old newspaper found blowing in the wind …
Under the headline “Film Star Sleeps on Boot Hill,” in the Monday, April 3, 1939, Dodge City Daily Globe, a story begins: “For a great many years only concrete faces and the cowboy statue have rested in historic old Boot Hill cemetery. But Saturday night there was a newcomer there.
”The story goes on the tell how Guinn “Big Boy” Williams, one of the stars of “Dodge City,” was found sleeping on Boot Hill Sunday morning after the festivities surrounding the premiere.
Williams woke up sufficiently to elude authorities, who later learned that he had spent the day sleeping in a rooming house on West Chestnut street. Williams had missed the train back to Hollywood. He appeared in a west side grocery store later in the afternoon, took a taxi to the airport and caught a plane to Wichita. From there, he made it back to the coast.
Williams reportedly told a Dodge City man he wanted to sleep among the dead men for his wild West thrill.
Ah, Hollywood!
