Hoy recordamos al actor ERROL FLYNN, vida agitada y maestro del cine, galán eterno de Hollywood ⭐️🎬

⭐️Errol Leslie Thomson Flynn (Hobart, Australia, June 20, 1909 – Vancouver, October 14, 1959) was an Australian-American film actor. During Hollywood's Golden Age, he was known for his roles as a dashing leading man, daredevil adventurer, and romantic hero. Considered the natural successor to Douglas Fairbanks, he achieved worldwide fame for his Hollywood roles, frequently co-starring with Olivia de Havilland. He became famous as Robin Hood in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), a performance for which he was nominated by the American Film Institute as the 18th greatest hero in American film history. His other famous roles included the eponymous leader in Captain Blood (1935), Major Geoffrey Vickers in The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936), and numerous Westerns such as Dodge City (1939), Santa Fe Trail (1940), and San Antonio (1945). His personal life was highly dissolute and turbulent: a jumble of scandals, affairs, lawsuits, accusations, revelry, debts, and bankruptcy proceedings. He married three times: first to the aforementioned Lili Damita (1935-1942), with whom he had a son, Sean Flynn (1941-1970), an actor of little consequence but a renowned freelance reporter and photojournalist who died during the Cambodian War. The divorce resulted in Errol's financial ruin. He married Nora Eddington (1943-1949) for the second time, and they had two daughters, Deirdre (1945) and Rory (1947). Finally, he married Patrice Wymore, from 1950 until his death in 1959. Their daughter was Arnella Roma (1953-1998). His grandson, Sean Flynn (real name: Sean Rio Amir, born 1989), Rory's son (not to be confused with Lili Damita's son of the same name), is also an actor, best known for his role in the Nickelodeon series Zoey 101. He showcased his talents as a producer and pseudo-reporter with the documentary The Truth About Fidel Castro Revolution and a short film on the same subject, *Cuban Story*, which was of little note. His decline began after the end of World War II, in which he was unable to participate due to being deemed unfit for military service, a fact that troubled him. The reason for his rejection was the ravages of his drug and alcohol abuse. These ravages worsened in the early 1950s, when he began his relationship with Patrice Wymore, the only one of his three wives who truly loved and idolized him. In 1952, he went to Europe to make films there. On one of them, The Dark Avenger, filmed in 1955, he injured Christopher Lee's hand. He returned to Hollywood in 1956 completely drunk, leaving William Tell unfinished and only taking roles that matched his performance in Henry King's The Sun Also Rises, alongside Tyrone Power, Mel Ferrer, and Ava Gardner; Too Much, Too Soon, in the role of his friend John Barrymore; and John Huston's The Roots of Heaven. Flynn built a reputation for womanizing, heavy drinking, chain smoking, and, for a time in the 1940s, drug abuse. He was addicted to alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and sex. He was romantically linked to Lupe Vélez. Carole Lombard reportedly resisted his advances but still invited him to her extravagant parties. He was a regular at the equally lavish events hosted by William Randolph Hearst at Hearst Castle, although on one occasion he was asked to leave after becoming excessively intoxicated. While Flynn acknowledged his personal attraction to Olivia de Havilland, claims by some film historians—who maintained that the two had a romantic relationship during the filming of Robin Hood—were denied by de Havilland herself. “Yes, we fell in love, and I think that’s evident in the chemistry between us on screen,” he stated in a 2009 interview. “But his circumstances [Flynn’s marriage to Damita at the time] prevented the relationship from going any further. I haven’t spoken much about it, but the relationship never came to fruition. However, the chemistry was there. It was there.” Errol Flynn was laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California, a place he once declared he hated, along with six bottles of his favorite whiskey. ⭐️ Thanks for joining us at Old Actors & Movies Forever. 📽 ✨️Subscribe, comment, share, and keep traveling with us to the past. 💫 ‼️VISIT MY CHANNELS‼️ 🎬 Classic Movie Channel:    / @oldactorsandmoviesforever   🎶 Retro Songs Channel:    / @cancioneslejanas
