We were visiting my parents' graves today. Afterwards we visited Errol Flynn's.

I can't see any posts so I have to start a add on to the morgue discussion
Did you read the autopsy report? If you read it then is that any different than viewing a morgue photo? I felt very sorry for Patrice and EF to have his very personal health findings detailed and even published in a book. I am curious about the photo but not desperately searching the web for it. If it were here I would view it. I personally will always remember him as he looked in Captain Blood, Sea Hawk, Robin Hood and up until his early 40's. Could the morgue photo be any worse than the airport photo? I can only momentarily look at that one!

Errol Flynn Costumes Recycled for 'The Tudors'
So if any of you are fans of the TV series The Tudors you may be happy to hear that costumes from films such as The Private Lives of Elizabeth & Essex and The Sea Hawk may have been re-used for some of the costumes worn by Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the role of young Henry VIII.
Joan Bergin, the costume designer for 'The Tudors' –
“So, we've brought in dresses from Krakow, Madrid, Lithuania, London, LA. In fact, I discovered a huge trove of costumes from a 1930s Errol Flynn film which I found when I was costuming The Prestige in Hollywood. It was an enormous stroke of luck because they were perfect for the period and have the wonderful craftsmanship and attention to detail you'd expect from the Studio Era. And, in fact, Jonathan wears some of Flynn's refurbished costumes.”

I however have not come across any that have stood out or that I recognised from Flynn's movies, but if anyone see's/knows, I'd love to know!

Outliving Flynn, now revised with a new Title says author George Thomas Clark!
“Outliving Flynn” – The title story tells a lot about the life of Errol Flynn, and contrasts his experiences with those of Martin Stevens, a character who looks life Flynn but lacks his talent and charisma.
For a revised edition of the story, now called “Fallen Star,” please click here
Incidentally, I also recently visited Flynn’s grave at Forest Lawn, where I’d attended an art exhibition. See “Flowers for Errol Flynn”….

Errol Flynn Morgue Photo is circulating around…
And I have no desire to view it! I don't want it posted on this blog, for that matter… I have never made this kind of statement but feel strongly that I want always to think of Errol in life and not see his dead face or body posted here. I hope you will all agree with me. I hope I never see any of these photos in my entire life…
