Tly VERNON SCOTT HOLLYWOOD (ITU Callow. cocksure and green as grass when he invaded the land of movie giants, Errol Flynn tackled Hollywood with the confidence of a platoon of marines. He was brash, and an atrocious actor, but Hynn had years of rough-and-tumble adventure be hind him from gold mining to pearl-diving. Hollywood was just another stop, a temporary one. his zig-zag course through His lack of dedication to the acting arts worked in his favor. Warner Brothers studio found him playing bit parts in England and signed him to a contract. Starring for Warners at the time was a group of tough, eccentric he-men who specialized in gang ster films Humphrey Bogart, Jimmy Cagney, Edward G. Rob inson and George Raft. Tough as they were, Flynn made 'cm look like tabby cats. A few years before his death Bogart growled grudging admira tion for the young Flynn of the mid 1930s. We were all working hard in those days, taking a lot of -abuse from the big shots whenever we got out of line or got a little drunk," Bogey recalled. "Then this big Irish palooka comes along and makes screaming head lines with his romances and stuff. "The studio brass would give all of us heavies 'hell for weeks, but Flynn would charm his way out of the dog house in five min utes." ,-Flynn always admitted he was something jess tnan a great ac tor, but from his very first lead ing role the magnetism of star dom came across. In 1942 he played his biggost After plaving a corpse in his off-screen role during a. lurid first picture, "The Case of The I court battle in which he was ac Curious Bride," he was assigned Cuscd of statutory rape hy Peggy a miniscule role in a Turkey Larue Sattcrlee, 16, and Betty titled "Don't Bet On Blondes." It Hansen, 17. was enough for Flynn's engaging, guileless grin to Cdtch the eye of the Brothers Warner. It was a front page carnival throughout the fall and winter of that year. He won the case and In his third movie he starred his popularity soared. in the title role of Captain Blood." Like they say in Holly wood, he became a star overnight. Love scenes and fights duels, fist fights, wrestling matches and barroom brawls were his cine matic strong points, perhaps his only points as a performer. These limited talents were enough to earn him 10 million dollars and world - wide fame. When he appeared in dull movies the public forgave him his pri vate life more than making up for the duds. Then there were his, fights. Flynn a former amateur boxer was sort of an unijowned champ of the bistro-weights. Nightclub outings frequently re sulted in brawls. Among Flynn's opponents w.ere Canadian million aire Duncan McMartin, Dan Top ping, Jimmy Fidler and director John Huston. An impeccable dresser off screen, the dashing playboy rare ly appeared in films other than costume epics. He cut a mighty figure in tights, flaring capes and boots. At the height of his career, in the early 40s, Flynn became a social lion among Hollywood's elite. He held a position some what similar to Frank Sinatra's current pinnacle high Iki-ina of the high livers He bought a huge' while ranch house atop Mulholland Drive. overlooking both the Pacific Ocean and Los Angeles on one side, and the San Fernando Val ley nn the other. He entertained lavishly, lustily and, according to his critics, lasciviously. But Flynn was no crude rough neck. His home was tastefully furnished and superb art works from every corner of the world crowded the rooms. Asked about the house shortly before his death, he said it had gone for taxes, adding, "One of my wives nationalized it." He was deeply fond of the home, but he would rather make jokes than let anyone suspect the sentiment he felt. As his career zoomed from Charge of The Light Brigade" to "The Adventures of Robin Hood" to "Gentleman Jim," Er rol Flynn was one of the busiest and most successful stars in Hollywood, and he spent (he money as. fast as it rolled in on fast ' cars, fast women and slow yachts. Attorneys fees for fights, ' and rape charges, alimony and child support also bled the Flynn treasury. undaunted, tie rakish screen idol continued to spend-money on trips, women and parties. "People expect me to live like a playboy, and I'm not going to let Ihem down," he said. "Be sides you only live once, and who's going to say how a man should spend his life." In his later years the merry madcap, was asked If he would have played his cards differently were the hand to be dealt again. No," he answered. "I have no complaints. I've paid for my wicked ways. And apart from the financial payments I've enjoyed every moment of my life." Flynn felt the same way when he was among the top 10 box office draws in the movies. But then came the end of World War II,, the advent of television, and, the most crushing blow of all, public demand for top-flight, so phisticated acting. It was the beginning for Errol Flynn's plunge from the pinnacle.
