…left us on this day, October 14, 1959. He would have been 99 years old if he had not felt other winds blowing in a new direction…

…in Remembrance…

Olympiads… here are some more photos from the Lisa Wallis Grab! Gene Tierney out of focus but still stunning… and Lesley Howard on a movie set somewhere in Hollywood history…

Olympiads! Here is a Special Photos Posting just for our Authors! I found these pics on an Ancestry website including this one of Errol with Anna Neagle… The older gentleman is name Muntz, I think. He is the “ancestor” of Lisa Wallis who has the copyright on these pics… but we post them here for our enjoyment nonetheless, Pirates that we are!

Other photos in the Treasure Chest (see attachments) are of Sammy Stein the wrestler-Actor from Gentleman Jim seen with Errol, John Wayne, and Abott & Costello…

Enjoy, fellow Olympians!

Here is a video slide show tribute to Errol.

There are many similar tributes on YouTube and elsewhere, but this is mine and I think it's Great!  The soundtracks are from Captain Blood and The Adventures of Robin Hood.  Some of the photos are from here…there are a couple of repeated photos.

A Slide Show Tribute to Errol Flynn

Found this… a tribute song to Errol.  Nice
to see our younger generation having some
appreciation of the Colonel.  I'm sure he'd
be impressed.

A note here: “here are the lyrics to “Errol”, by Australian Crawl.
I had to look up all the words on the net, as of course, no-one can ever
understand what the hell James Reyne was singing half the time.”

Convict state
It just don't rate
He want to get higher
Apple Isle, the inbred smile
He's going to get by'a
His mother's hand
He could not stand
He left for the islands
To fish and hunt
He take a punt
The New Guinea Highlands

Ohhh Errol
I would give everything just to be like him

He had to go
The Sirocco
He's sailin the high seas
Hollywood, Captain Blood
He's billing the Nazi's
Took a rebel stand
Contraband
Coast of Mexico
He want to pounce
Like an animal
To girls he just can't say no

Ohhh Errol
I would give everything just to be like him(x2)

He had them all
Screamin for more
He play the wild scene
Ah scandalise, no compromise
He's down on his knees
Swashbuckling
He was the King
The toast of Tinseltown
They build him up
They took it all
And then they just cut him down

Ohhh Errol
I would give everything just to be like him(x2)

Don't tell me it's true
I don't wanna hear about it (4x)

Ohhh Errol
I would give everything just to be like him(4x )

Frankly I have trouble with understanding the
singer.  But the main point here, is that is
a great little tribute based on whatever less
or greater knowledge the songwriter had about
Flynn. Reads like he read MWWW.
