I am back on the blog again and wish to thank our host David Dewitt and Rory Flynn for sharing these rare treasured photos of Errol Flynn. I’ll be back later with a book that has an entire chapter on Sean Flynn. Ralph Schiller

An Offending Appendix

FLYNN OPERATED ON “FOR ART”
For the sake of art, Errol Flynn, Warner Brothers film star, yesterday underwent a surgeon’s knife.
Flynn was stricken at his home Tuesday with an attack of appendicitis and was taken to Cedars of Lebanon Hospital. An examination made by Dr. Harley Gunderson revealed an operation was not immediately necessary.
Flynn, however, declared he would like to undergo the operation at once rather than be bothered by the offending appendix.
“I want to play in a picture entitled The Charge of the Light Brigade in April,” Flynn declared, “So let’s have the operation and I’ll be fit by that time.”
So, yesterday the appendectomy was performed. Flynn was reported as “resting comfortably.”

Might this be Errol, too? (Doubtful, but intriguing)

Scotch for Fans of Flynn

It’s Scotch that Errol Flynn is, instead of Irish, if you ask the fan magazines. Since Captain Blood, they’ve all been clamoring to run a life story of Flynn, but he turns them all down.
“I’m writing it myself in book form,” he cannily replies.”
