Errol arriving fresh from England to conquer Hollywood!
In the Golden Age of Hollywood when starlets were taken under contract the first thing studios did was to establish how to fit them into a mold to suit their movie making plans. Grooming, reinventing and molding them was prime!
So what did Jack Warner had in mind with Errol?

On the 1st of July 2014, photographer Andy Gotts MBE released his latest portrait of the stunning 98 year old Olivia de Havilland for her Birthday. I had to share this beautiful photograph, you can stare at her face and still see all those fantastic characters she portrayed in the Flynn movies over 70 years ago.

Google+ mangled my Errol YOU TUBE channel and mixed it up with a website of some health company. It took me three month to finally fix this problem and hundreds of hours. The time I spent on it is unbelievable and Google or You Tube does not help. I finally got a friend to help me who knew more about it than I did. What an ordeal! And now that my Bariebel Channel is back to normal I am celebrating with Errol!

FRANKFURT — Errol Flynn brought the house down tonight as he auctioned off a Lauren Bacall “surprise package” at a March of Dimes benefit. At the EUCOM Hq-sponsored affair at the Casino, Flynn said, “I can’t tell the contents. (Bacall’s husband, Humphrey) Bogart forbids disclosure.” Flynn was master of ceremonies at an informal show in which his actress wife, Patrice Wymore, and dark-haired film star Olga San Juan participated. All three donated their services. The three arrived from Rome this afternoon via a 7167th Special Air Mission Sq C47 piloted by Capt Keith D. Hicks of Albuquerque, N.M., and with Capt A. T. Neiss of Wayzata, Minn., as copilot. In addition to the surprise package, Flynn also raffled off photos of movie stars. Two airline tickets also were distributed as a door prize. The crowd, estimated by to management at more than 900, jammed the main ballroom to watch the star-studded cast and listen to music supplied by the Air Force’s “Sky Tones.” The Flynns brought along their 15-week-old daugther, Arnelia. Cal George G, Garton, secretary of the Joint Staff, EUCOM Hq, won the door prize airline tickets and immediately offered them to be raffled off at the polio benefit.
