One of my favorite actors

I have loved Errol Flynn since I was old enough to watch movies. This, being the man who undoubtedly is extremely handsome and charismatic, fought many demons throughout his life. This book contains honest and true experiences throughout his life and acting career. Brutally honest, it was a great read about one of the best sought-after actors of his day.

A Star, A Legend, A Man

Here in the Rocky Mountain region, we used to call them "rounders" which meant men who were a little wild on the inside. Flynn was a rounder. No, I didn't care if the book was entirely, 100% true. Yes, I think 90% of what he said was true, and the embellishments are easily forgiven. Flynn was the real deal, regardless of what anyone says. People who criticize him for recounting his exploits overseas say less about Flynn and say more about their own, sheltered, inexperience of the real world. If I had to make a judgment call, I would say that this is a book for men. If you are a young man in your 20's or 30's, still lusting for adventure on the inside, but forced to conform to the corporate world on the outside, you will discover a kindred spirit in dear Brother Errol.

A STAR AMONG MORTALS.

This book is the best of the autobiograghies. Flynns magnitude was only matched by a few stars. Although there are a few errors since Flynn was suffering from booze and drugs - this is a true memoir of a man, star who regretted his life and knew he was dying very soon. I personally spoke to the ghost rider Mr. Conrad about his time with Errol. It can be said of Errol Flynn-" He was what every boy prayed to become , but as a man regretted he never achieved".Noone can put this book down. Its a must read.

Flynn will always be a timeless legend

l first read this book at 12.l have read it once a year ever since.It just has that way of making you feel alive.Adventure,action,fun and zest.This book is greatly under rated simply because it was written by the legendary hell-raiser himself.Do yourself a favour,buy this book,read it and feel the excitement rush from the pages.

My Wicked, Wicked Ways in When Gossip Was Currency
When Gossip Was Currency
Published by William Shelton • June 09, 2021

In old Hollywood, gossip was hard currency, and there were two doyennes who dealt in the coin of the realm: one a frustrated former actress, and the other a queen of yellow journalism who spent decades working for William Randolph Hurst. Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons served as the moral arbiters to the stars. Their hold over Hollywood, alongside the famous Hays code, controlled the lives of stars of the silver screen in unexpected ways.
