Rory Flynn tells me she just signed a contract to allow a new board game to be produced based on movie adventures of her father Errol Flynn! She sends us a copy of the proposal ad … No idea when the game would be available as yet but how exciting is this?
Thanks, Rory!

Ada here,
I am sending along the first of two pix of, I assume, one of your favorites, Lily Damita.
This one, I am not positive about. I believe it was taken by Errol during a trip to Catalina Island approx July 7th, 1938, during the holiday week when Errol was off. I can identify no one except Lily. Do you have any info on this shot?
I’ll toss it out to the world, Ada! Very nice, rare candid …

We received in the Mail Bag this great photo of Bob Peckinpaugh at a Pirate Party visit from Tom McNulty (and Jan, Queen of the Pirates!) Both old Pirates were original founding members of The Errol Flynn Blog …
Thanks, Mates!

Our dear friend Karl Holmberg writes to us:
… from Desparate Journey, 1942, and this is the film he was referencing during a news reporter’s question:
Gorbachev was a media celebrity in the United States, and the crowds cheered when he jumped out of his limousine and shook hands with people on the street. Reagan was out of the limelight, and it didn’t seem to bother him. Asked by a reporter whether he felt overshadowed by Gorbachev, Reagan replied: ‘I don’t resent his popularity. Good Lord, I once co-starred * with Errol Flynn.’
* meaning that the credit read: “starring Errol Flynn and Ronald Reagan
