Poor Errol, I think if you cut through all the legend and folklore he was actually a stand up guy , I read his autobiography which he penned himself, "my wicked wicked ways",and was amazed at his candid self depreciating attitude, he displayed practically no ego in his account of his life in hollywood and seemed very realistic about the whole thing. He suffered acute back pain most of his adult life due to injury and that got him hooked on morphine washed down with alcohol, he had some serious addiction problems which led to his poor health and early demise, such a great pity he died at 50, his body just couldn't take it anymore.
@@vicgogan5379 And the drugs and the smoking,but as David Niven said" he was an incredible man,but not an admirable one". Between 1935 and '45 he was as great as anyone ever on the silver screen. All those greats Spencer Tracy,Robert Taylor, Clark Gable, Tyrone Power, Gary Cooper were either Alcoholics and/or chain smokers took 25-30 years off their lives.
Thank You for this, Errol is truly one of the finest actors we've ever had in American cinema, Its such a shame that his brilliant work and truly under appreciated acting talents have been overshadowed. Errol was the epitome of a gifted performer a true legend among legends. They don't make them like that anymore which is truly a pity.
A 100% I remember watching some of his films in my earliest years. A 100 years from now even, I dare say they will stand up as timeless classics. Albeit of that era, it’s possible to point to several other examples of big name stars, Errol Flynn exuded a softly spoken strength and integrity, lacking in e.g. John Wayne (opposites in many ways), epitomising gentlemanly conduct. Whatever his detractors say, and they are tripping over themselves to do so, I can’t help but feel part of his straight shooting, selflessness and value of life in the true sense, is the experience of dealing with the pain referred to, which troubled him for the better part of his life. 50 years is too young, but conversely may be said to reflect the severity of the pain he suffered, as much as the deleterious effects of his efforts to mitigate it.
What a nice and refreshing way to tell the story of Errol's final day. Not a documentary or a report, instead it was presented by an ordinary person telling a simple story as if they were chatting with just me over a coffee. Unique and very well done! Thank you.
Errol Flynn was born the same year as my Nonna (great-grandmother.) She immigrated here from Italy in 1933. She came here with my Nonno (grandfather) when he was just 5 years old at the time. My Nonna lived to be 97 years old and was a HUGE Errol Flynn fan. She always said she learned how to speak English by watching his movies. It's funny because she actually had an Italian-Australian accent while living here in America. 😆
Flynn was a person born out of any time, he wouldn't have lived comfortably in whatever age he had been born, restless spirits, especially the ones gifted with looks and intelligence are obviously going to struggle with the morals and restrictions placed upon them by others in positions of either religious or secular power, rebellion brings with it opposition, and results in the ultimate destruction of the rebel, unfortunately.
nope, he would have been in jail for life these times. He liked his girls young. Very young. As in jailbait. He was still married when he died. His wife didn't want a gravestone for him. She said: "I do not want anything of this bast..... out here now that he's gone." His children paid for a gravestone decades later.
Eroll flynn an original legend He can play any role swashbuckling western and everything Girls just throw to him His bio the wicked wicked ways is Truely classic and superb Drinking destroyed his life
His auto biography, "My wicked wicked ways" is a great read! Action packed with his amazing travels and experiences in life. And most surprising are his words of wisdom that will help you survuve the storms in your life and help you get back on top to carry on to sunny days again!
since i was a young boy ERROLwas my favorite,he still is,,i have so many books on him,,out of print,,rare, new,,seen all his movies,,yup,ALL,,own most of them,,,he was for me the top star from the golden age of hollywood,,,,thanks for this,
Interesting video, He certainly lived a full life in those 50 years! I love the 1938 Robin Hood, Errol's co-star was Olivia de Havilland. They made 8 films together and she is still going strong at 103 years of age!
He was my paternal grandmother's favorite actor. My father's, and also mine, middle name is Errol because of that. My favorite movies that he made are "The Adventures of Robin Hood" and "Gentleman Jim". Thank you for posting this.
@@jcvancouver Actually, the name here is after my all-time favorite baseball player, Carl Yastrzemski. He was named team captain by his manager before the 1967 baseball season and he wore number 8 on his uniform. Thus "captaincarl8". My actual first name is Robert. Thanks again for the video, Jean Claude.
I was so obsessed with Errol I just can't believe his true to life swashbuckling days in Papau New Guinea. I went to Tasmania and sought out all his points of interest. Went to the hospital ( the only one in Hobart) he was delivered. It's a hotel for seniors today. His childhood home where the current owner posted photos near entrance of the young Errol playing. The black sandy beach where his mom taught him to swim. It's in his book btw. There's a memorial erected there for Errol but goodness easily missed! The National theatre where he saw his first movie in 1915 with his mom. Outside this theatre is his name on the sidewalk. Errol never went back to Tasmania after he left! I'm always curious how he lost his accent. Thanx for this video
Most of his psychological problems stemmed from the abandonment of his parents at a very young age...they didn't spend time with him ..they just sent him money and left him on his own ...parental absence causes a lot of inner security problems. He probably secretively felt unwanted. That's my take
Well everyone just know the one side of the deboniar,swash buckling and dashing Hollywood star from Tasmania,Australia Errol Flynn(1909-1959). But there is other side of which whom his fans does not really know much. According to his father,Errol Flynn was a highly intelligent and intuitive man.He had this undying quest and thirst for knowledge.He would spend hours reading and in his last years in the 1950s kept an account of his daily life in a diary. This was the true Errol Flynn we do not know.A man of knowledge.
In this respect Errol was very much like his father, but his father lacked the vim and vinegar of Errol so perhaps his personality was more like his mother.
Great video. Errol was my favorite actor by far. I visited his grave at Forest Lawn Memorial Parks in Glendale, Ca. back in 1995. I also got to see his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Jean Claude Van Couver fantastic video. I live a short distance away from the place he was born. The old Hobart maternity hospital 82 Hampden rd in Battery point Hobart. You can get a good look at the building on google earths street view. It’s the 2 story building with the arch’s over the top story veranda. 👍
Jean Claude Van Couver just as a matter of interest “ Bishopscourt” is diagonally across from on my place on Antill st ( about 400 meters from Hampden Rd) and is were Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery spent his childhood until he left aged 14.
I worked for a university in Sydney ,Australia .I worked on properties left to the university veterinary dept by Flynn as a legacy for caring for his dog
I am a big fan of Errol Flynn, having grown up watching his movies, e.g. The Adventures Of Robin Hood, Captin Blood, The Private Lives Of Elizabeth And Essex, They Died With Their Boots On, etc. I read his biography 'My Wicked, Wicked Ways', which I thought was fantastic. He really was a swashbuckler and a loveable rogue. From Tasmania to Vancouver via Hollywood. RIP Errol! Thank you for the upload, very fascinating.
@@jcvancouver it seems to me that you know Vancouver well (apart from being an Errol Flynn fan?). May I give you my email address? Maybe we can keep in touch if I come to visit Vancouver. Waiting for your response. Warm regards
@@jcvancouver my other favorite include Charge Of The Light Brigade, Captain Blood. Pro Football Hall of Fame member John McNally got the nickname Blood after watching that classic film.
I'm English I live in UK. First place I ever visited in Canada was Vancouver yes I liked the city very much ( Stanley Park etc ) is that wooden Bridge still there in Van ? I recall it was named Granby Bridge ( or similar name ? )
i stayed at the Silvan hotel in '89. didn't know that about Flynn. i read most of his well written book, and it was very truthful, but i can't finish it. it was just too sad. he made it all look too easy. he should have won an oscar for The Dawn Patrol with the great David Niven.
Great video of one of my favoutite actors. However, I have seen his sudden report at Vancouver Police Dept and he was DOA in the Burnaby St apartment. I am also aware of the "inappropriate" comments mentioned. He certainly lived a full life! His book " My Wicked Wicked Ways" was very funny and entertaining.
My favourite actor brilliant in all the movies from captain blood, Elizabeth and Essex, sea hawks, robin hood, and Don Juan. SO SAD the way this great actor went.
Errol Flynn was told he was dying one year prior and he knew he was on borrowed time. I believe he went into the room of the doctors house to lie down because he knew he was dying and he didn't want anyone to see him pass. A very sad ending for poor Errol Flynn, ironically the last few lines of his autobiography read... "The second half of the century looms but I don't feel the night coming on"... says it all really. Sadly his son "Sean Flynn" was murdered by the Khmer Rouge in 1970 and his daughter "Arnella" in 1998 of a drug overdose.
very interesting and informative,thankyou. i feel errols course in life was set at an early age and he lived several lives in hts 50 years, great character and actor. his co-star in his early films olivia de havilland is inher 104th year.
Hey Jean Claude Van Couver---great video and very informative. Regarding the Sylvia Hotel, have you done a video on another famous story that happened within the same vicinity? Joseph Corbett Jr., the murderer of Adolph Coors III, heir to the Coors Beer fortune in Colorado, crossed the border and hid out somewhere near the Sylvia. A neighbour recognized his photo and he was captured. I believe this was in 1960 or 61.
interesting. i stayed there in '89. Vancouver was incredible then. now crowded and super expensive with the huge Chinese empty mcmansions. but still an incredible place i guess. the last time i was there was 2010. he should have won an oscar for The Dawn Patrol. at 50 he basically died of old age. much like the meteor Jack London at 39 decades earlier.
Frank Paya I loved Max Baer, a great bloke...misrepresented in the film with Russel Crowe. Watched a lot of RUclips videos about him, he had character and wit!
Dirk Diggler Hey it was great you met them, I loved the Beverly Hillbillies as a kid. We were from a rural part if England and were a bit like the Clamperts I think lol 😊😄 Max Baer was I think one if a kind, that win over Max Schmeling was so important for the World then. May he be in heaven and receive his just glory there.
I read Flynn's autobiography, "My wicked, Wicked Ways" a couple of years ago and it is worth a read. You glossed over his early adventures in the Pacific Ocean, but it is a wonder he did not die then. You say that Beverly Aadland was 16 years ago, but she is said to be 22 elsewhere with the same photo of them sunbathing at a California pool. Since she was born in 1942 and he died in 1959, I think they wanted to make her older than she was.
Jack Warner, in his memoir, wrote that he and Raoul Walsh were among Flynn’s pallbearers. Walsh thought the casket seemed a bit heavy; he managed a glance inside, and found six cases of Scotch along with Flynn. Who says you can’t take it with you?
![What's My Line? - Errol Flynn; Martin Gabel [panel] (Dec 1, 1957)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/CkE9CGB2Wj0/mqdefault.jpg)

Truman Grandey thanks for watching Truman. 👍
Errol Flynn was told he was dying one year prior and he knew he was on borrowed time. I believe he went into the room of the doctors house to lie down because he knew he was dying and he didn't want anyone to see him pass. A very sad ending for poor Errol Flynn, ironically the last few lines of his autobiography read... "The second half of the century looms but I don't feel the night coming on"... says it all really.
Sadly his son "Sean Flynn" was murdered by the Khmer Rouge in 1970 and his daughter "Arnella" in 1998 of a drug overdose.
Thanks for watching John.
@@jcvancouver : Cheers for posting the video Jean. I am a huge fan of Errol Flynn.
very interesting and informative,thankyou. i feel errols course in life was set at an early age and he lived several lives in hts 50 years, great character and actor. his co-star in his early films olivia de havilland is inher 104th year.
Paul Leighton thank you for watching my vlog Paul. I appreciate your kind message. 🙂👍
I wonder how old she really is, I've seen her listed in the postings here as 103,102, and now 104.
Excellent storytelling
Steven SteveO thank you Steven! 👍🙂
Enjoyed the video you tell a good story! What happened to his boat yacht?
Sylvia Lower thank you Sylvia. 🌼🌸🌺 Last i heard the Zaca is privately owned in Monaco 🇲🇨. 🙂
very good video, please do more.
Thank you kindly Tony. I appreciate it.
Hey Jean Claude Van Couver---great video and very informative. Regarding the Sylvia Hotel, have you done a video on another famous story that happened within the same vicinity? Joseph Corbett Jr., the murderer of Adolph Coors III, heir to the Coors Beer fortune in Colorado, crossed the border and hid out somewhere near the Sylvia. A neighbour recognized his photo and he was captured. I believe this was in 1960 or 61.
Thank you kindly Joe. I am researching the Corbett story and hope to have a vlog up very soon. Thank you!
interesting. i stayed there in '89. Vancouver was incredible then. now crowded and super expensive with the huge Chinese empty mcmansions. but still an incredible place i guess. the last time i was there was 2010. he should have won an oscar for The Dawn Patrol. at 50 he basically died of old age. much like the meteor Jack London at 39 decades earlier.
Could you do one about Max Baer sr? He died a month-and-a-half after Errol Flynn, also at 50 years old, and of a heart attack .
Frank Paya I loved Max Baer, a great bloke...misrepresented in the film with Russel Crowe. Watched a lot of RUclips videos about him, he had character and wit!
Verry, very misrepresented.
Dirk Diggler Hey it was great you met them, I loved the Beverly Hillbillies as a kid. We were from a rural part if England and were a bit like the Clamperts I think lol 😊😄 Max Baer was I think one if a kind, that win over Max Schmeling was so important for the World then. May he be in heaven and receive his just glory there.
Dirk Diggler Just a few clips on RUclips. Maybe archive.org has it.
I read Flynn's autobiography, "My wicked, Wicked Ways" a couple of years ago and it is worth a read. You glossed over his early adventures in the Pacific Ocean, but it is a wonder he did not die then. You say that Beverly Aadland was 16 years ago, but she is said to be 22 elsewhere with the same photo of them sunbathing at a California pool. Since she was born in 1942 and he died in 1959, I think they wanted to make her older than she was.
Chester thanks for watching Chester. 👍
I read his book too. My main takeaway from it is he was taken for a lot of money by women.
Jack Warner, in his memoir, wrote that he and Raoul Walsh were among Flynn’s pallbearers. Walsh thought the casket seemed a bit heavy; he managed a glance inside, and found six cases of Scotch along with Flynn. Who says you can’t take it with you?
He was great in"santa fe trail.⏰ran⌛for him way too soon.🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴
vern wallen thanks for watching Vern. 🙂
