February 3, 1943 – Would Flynn Have Flown?

03 Feb

“The case was drawing near to its close. I would either be sentenced to jail or not. Under the law there was no such thing as a suspended sentence or fine. None of those nice amenities. You either had it, or you hadn’t. I had no intention of going to jail. My two-engine plane was out at Burbank, waiting, so that if I got a bum rap, I’d get out there, hop in and leave America and my screen career forever.”

~ Would Flynn Have Flown? ~

I believe Errol would have definitely exited, stage left –
making it one of the most sensational stories of the 20th Century.

What do you think?

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.

January 29, 1943 – No Moonlight Through the Porthole

29 Jan

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.”
