*************...THIS JUST IN FROM ZELDA ... MADAM Z:<br />************************************<br /><br />That whippersnapper, Sean Patrick, must have immersed himself in old Hollywood history in order to write this highly entertaining tale. I especially loved the line about Errol’s corpse being propped up in a chair, with the fedora and Chesterfield properly placed. <br /> <br />Kate, I wanted to post a reply on the Bijou site, but once again, I was confounded, trying to find how to do it.<br /> <br />BTW, here’s an anecdote from my early childhood, regarding Errol Flynn. Being more familiar with various physical maladies and their symptoms, than I was with Irish surnames, I used to think Errol’s last name was “Phlegm.” It was only when I learned to read the billboards that I realized something was wrong.Kate Pilarcik ~ absolutelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430278736281847787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-30209668731184855782011-04-05T21:57:45.629-04:002011-04-05T21:57:45.629-04:00A*K- As with all the fab stories that came before,...A*K- As with all the fab stories that came before, tremendous job with the presentation-awesome. and most of all thanks for including me.<br /><br />Jeanette- I've read MWW as well, along with just about anything out there on EF and I own just about all his movies. He and F.Scott Fitzgerald are probably my most intriguing characters of all time.<br /><br />Paul- It's such a shame what booze and morphine did to him- stole his looks big time, but he never once admitted to having any regrets, publicly at least.<br /><br />Julie- Thanks for the read and comments and big time congrats on the feature story on "Gone Bad". That was big-time for sure!<br /><br />DeeDee- love that name and thanks for taking the time to give it a read and comment.<br /><br />There is so much material to draw from the life of EF, that I had no idea what to do. This dude lived one hell of a life and there are so many stories, so I just went with the Barrymore (another fascinating dude and EF;s idol) morgue theft angle.<br /><br />I will warn you that there was one asshole author Charles Higham who wrote FLYNN: THE UNTOLD STORY and it is a bunch of bullshit that has all been proven untrue over time.Sean Patrick Reardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051252366031997054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-40863513450284570422011-04-05T19:53:25.521-04:002011-04-05T19:53:25.521-04:00Hi!
