Bizarre But Telling Story!

In the current issue of the outstanding quarterly magazine Films Of The Golden Age, issue number 105 Summer 2021, is an extensive article with actor, dancer, choreographer Christopher Riordan, who happily is still with us. He worked with many of Hollywood’s top stars in films, television, and behind the camera including Barbara Stanwyck, Fred Astaire, Elvis Pressley, Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift, Audrey Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra and many others. Christopher Riordan said, “I did, at one point, I found myself working as a funeral consultant at Forest Lawn Cemetery! I was involved in several celebrity funerals. The first star I “buried” was Humphrey Bogart in 1957. He is interred in the “Garden Of Memory”, which is not open to the public. I also handled Franklin Pangborn’s funeral in 1958 and Errol Flynn’s in 1959. As for Errol’s funeral, I distinctly remember Patrice Wymore, Errol’s long estranged wife, coming up to me and requesting that Errol’s teenage girlfriend, Beverly Aadland, be barred!”

Errol Flynn Would Lead the Charge!
15
Jul
This week we are seeing the beginning of the end of Castro’s commie paradise. Castro betrayed Errol Flynn, Steve Hayes, the Cuban people and the entire world when he fought for freedom for his people and than after Errol passed away he went into the arms of the mother of all commie paradises the USSR.
If Errol was alive today he would be marching with the Cuban people in Cuba and his name would be validation for the people there to demand freedom after 60 years of total misery. A good friend of ours is in Little Havana and made me aware of all this history making events. This is an incredible event for all of us that love freedom.
Errol Flynn went to Cuba for the Hearst papers to tell the world what Castro was doing to overthrow a military dictator backed up by the American Mafia and our own CIA. After 60 years of Castros dictatorship of total communism. The people of Cuba are fed up and now have taken to the streets.
A lot of Cuban Americans like Andy Garcia are calling for the complete fall of the Castro government and the establishment of Republic style freedom. If Errol Flynn was alive he would be standing with Andy Garcia demanding the same thing, I believe Errol would find a way to get to Cuba and be with the Cuban people in person.
Viva Errol, Cuban Freedom!

Errol Flynn … WHY?

[on the squarish question mark that Errol had monogrammed on many of his shirts] “This, my own confusion, became my trademark. My own questioning of myself … I still wear a question mark beneath my handkerchief pocket on all of my suits. I am still wondering why”.

Dennis Mullen & the Ghosts of Titchfield
03
Jul
My late friend Dennis Mullen was is a very unique person. He was a writer and an entrepreneur and definitely an adventure or in the spirit of Errol Flynn. He created a website he called in search of Errol Flynn and produced a wonderful blend of specialties he called Zaca Tea. He travel to Jamaica and explored the remains of the The Titchfield hotel which everyone told him would be impossible to achieve. The property was part of the military grounds and no one could ever get access. But they didn’t count on the charm of Dennis Mullen. He made friends with somebody at the base and they trusted Errol Flynn and the blog beside one of the pools where Errol and Errol Conrad sat so many years ago. He was beside Pat Waymore at her 84th birthday. He explored Navy Island. He even discovered a copy of my wicked wicked ways dedicated to Flynn‘s parents and facilitated its sale. He made Sand dial necklaces from the sand at Navy Island. He sent one of these to Rory Flynn and I saw her charmed and delighted eyes when she opened it. He loved the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee! I miss my dear friend …

Errol likes his women…ripe
01

Dear Flynnmates, for some actresses filming with Errol Flynn equals a life insurance.
Maureen O`Hara lived for 95 years, Lady Livvie even saw 104 and recently Mrs. Waltraut Haas celebrated her 94th birthday.
The co-co-star from his unfinished Will Tell epic overcame a stunt-worthy fall down her staircase and plans on a big party once the corona`s box is closed again.
Errol still vividly is on her mind in her new autobiography “But now I tell it…”
When he fell ill during the ill fated shoot, she cooked him chicken soup.
But when approached by King Farouk for a liaison in exchange for funding the film, she left the post production scene in a hurry.
She has no regrets of not making it to Hollywood (“I wouldn`t have wanted my nose shortened, anyway”), since she had a fabulous career in Europe starring alongside local greats Peter Alexander, Jopi Heesters and Curd Juergens.
I raise a glass of apple wine to her.
Enjoy,
