Acast helps creators launch, grow and monetize their podcasts everywhere. Acast.com Foreign. Hello delicious friends, and welcome to who did what now, the History Podcast. That is not your history class. With me, your host, Katy Charlwood, history harlot and reader of books. My body is finally readjusting to being back in the country. Oh my goodness. Jet lag is a bitch, let me tell you. Like I thought it was a really smart idea. And here's the thing. I wouldn't have any other way actually is I Literally get back on Monday and I go back to work on the Tuesday. So, like fly across the Atlantic, lose a day effectively and then just go straight to work. Like, my idea was that if I do this, then I won't like force my body into some weird cycle and I'll just make it like readjust, basically, like turning it off and on again. I'm like, let's reboot this as quickly as possible. And I just kind of thought that would be a better idea. Now, I realized something recently because I was listening to a lot of podcasts, because I listen to more podcasts when I travel, which, oh, it's so good actually, because there's so many that I need to catch up on and because I'm so busy because a lot of the time I'm reading or I'm writing, I don't get a chance to like listen to a lot of stuff. And yeah, I realized that I used to have a disclaimer at the beginning of episodes like way back. Because history, as a general rule is full of quite a lot of horrible stuff which some listeners may find disturbing. And this week I'm talking about a man from history, which is what reminded me of it more. So because yeah, if you don't want to hear about misogyny, tyranny, sexual assault, or a historian who swears like a sailor, you might want to exit stage left. So, like, there's this is a content warning, blanket warning. Like it's going to get bad. Like it's gonna get bad. Like I'm gonna talk about horrible things and so many venereal diseases. But yes, I do have news. I know some of you have been waiting a while for this, who have known this for a while and are like, finally, Katie. But my new limited series podcast is dropping this week. Week, day and Nightshade is a project very, very dear to my heart and my friend and co host, J. Well, we both really love Poison. Like we, we know far too much about poison for regular humans who don't use it in their day to day lives. And that's the story we're sticking with. And the first episode will be dropping here and it is a little different to who did what now, but I do hope you you like it. It is a labor of love for me. And I do hope you're enjoying the less heavy month of history because next month, next month I'm back on education mode. Because some people don't know shit and also don't know shit about fascism, it seems. But anyway, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, Katie. Quit your dibble dabber and fact me, in fact you. I will. But first we've got to get our source on. Our sources are My Wicked, Wicked Ways by Errol Flynn Young Blood the Making of Errol Flynn by Deborah Fasano Errol and Olivia Ego and Obsession in Golden Era Hollywood by Robert Matson the Missing Errol Flinfell by Charles Higgum Errol Flynn Gentleman Hellraiser by David Brett Wild Colonial Boy, Errol Flynn's Rape Trial, Pacific Pasts and the Making of Hollywood by Patricia o'. Brien. And of course we have articles from the Hollywood Reporter, the Los Angeles Herald, the Telegraph, the Guardian, and of course we have our old favourites, biography.com and history.com. so now the question is, are you sitting comfortably? Good. Then let's begin. Errol Leslie Thomas Flynn was born on the 20th June, 1909 at the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Battery Point, Tasmania. Somewhat geographically challenged, Tasmania is an island that is part of Australia. Well, it's an island state. There's Tasmania, which is like the Big island and like thousands of other wee islands around it, right? It's about 150 miles south of mainland Australia. And most importantly of all is the home of the Tasmanian Devil, a carnivorous marsupial which is endangered, by the way. Sidebar I have such a soft spot for animals that are little shits, you know, I do. I love them so much. Like, I have great joy in my heart for Tasmanian devils, the honey badger, Canadian and the other kind, mute swans, male comedians that are actually funny, crows, casseries and other such creatures. I just, I just love him so much. Anyway, Errol Leslie Thomas Flynn was born five months after the marriage of his parents, Theodore Thompson Flynn, a biologist and zoologist, and Marelle. So Marelle was born Lily Mary Young, but changed her name after marrying, which, I mean, listen, if you're gonna change half your name, you may as well change all of it, right? Sidebar. I know two sidebars. This soon. Shut up. Okay? I have seen so much discourse in the last week about whether or not you should take your spouse's surname. Like, it's such a weird argument to have. And I say this as someone whose surname is like four generations in existence, right? It's, it's made up, it's pretend. And here, here's the thing, like there is an argument and I don't understand why, because there are two very, very reasonable options for how to choose the surname. One, you choose the name that is either cooler or easier to Spell. And that's for both spouses, right? I don't care. You know what variation of salt and pepper you are, right? Doesn't matter, because you just have whatever name is either really cool or easier to spell. This is just the how you go through life, right? Which one is gonna be easier shouted when you're at the restaurant picking up your takeaway dinner, or which one is gonna sound really cool? You know, as they say on the intercom, so you catch your flight. Which one? And of course, option two, you each select a champion and then they fight to the death. And whoever is still alive at the end, your name wins. Easy peasy. I mean, you can always just, like, choose a name. You can put it through a Wu Tang Clan generator or something, figure it out. I mean, that's mystery door number three. But anyway, Morel, I saw, like, at one point, I was. I've read a lot of stuff about this woman. Like, she's named as an adventuress. And frankly, I don't need to dive any deeper into that because I've decided that's good enough. I'm, like, adventurous, sure. Like, I just love that as a title. She was an adventuress. Cool. Now, Errol is actually really, really mad when he realizes that he was conceived out of wedlock. Except his issue is specifically that his mum had premarital sex. Like your dad did, too, buddy. Like, that's how you're here. Like, what in the double standards? Like Errol, he has such hatred and vitriol towards his mother, which a lot of the time, fair enough. However, that doesn't carry through to his father. He doesn't treat them in the same way. Now, it could be the fact that she was the primary caregiver and he was away a lot, but we'll get into that in a moment. Errol Leslie Thompson Flynn. Listen, he has so many names. Every now and again, I like to say them all. He was the first of two children born to the couple. He had a sister, Nora Rosemary Flynn, who would follow a decade later. So Theodore, Errol's father, was the very first biology professor in Tasmania. Like, he was a smart cookie and he was often away for work. Like, he was away just so much. Now, El would say that his maternal side, they were seafaring in heritage, which. Honey, sweetie, sugar dumpling. Okay, listen, if you are in Australia at the turn of the 20th century and you're white, the seafaring you're referring to is a penal ship. That would be a ship of criminals, not a ship of penises. Well, Comme see Comm. Sa. Okay, okay, okay. I'm not here to insult a bunch of colonizers. I'm just saying that if you happen to be a person whose natural skin tone really resembles raw chicken in a country in the southern hemisphere that is known for having the hottest summer climate and highest sunshine duration, well, chances are your ancestors arrived on a convict ship. Although, you know, Irish people nowadays just show up on a gap year. But Theodore, being a biologist and zoologist, he really liked the them animals though. Oh, I'm so glad Australians can take a joke. Now honestly, if I had said that to some people, they would have got like so super offended. But Australians would have been like, haha. Maybe. But yeah, Theodore, being a biologist and zoologist, he kept a whole array of animals in the garden, which for a child was pretty cool. Like he had a whole host of animals, like from marsupials to like the Tassy Targar. That was a weird way to say it. Targar. The Tassa tiger. What is that? The Tassie tiger. Again, Errol never talked about his father the same way that he talked about his mother. Like there's never the same disdain there. Now I am not saying that Morel was mother of the year because she was not, but she was a young woman, you know, in the early 20th century whose husband was often absent in a time where corporal punishment was the norm. And Flynn, Errol Flynn, would often refer to his mother Morel as a cunt. He was often beaten as a child. Again, corporal punishment was the norm. I am not saying it was good, I'm not saying it's acceptable, I'm just saying it's what people did now. Like they used to hit you in school if you wrote with your left hand, like you would get beaten with a cane. It was so normal up until what, the 60s, 70s, like. I mean, it went on further in some establishments, Catholic skills, but it continued for a long time. So when Errol was seven years old, his mum caught him and his neighbour playing doctor. And by playing doctor, I mean they were showing each other their genitals. He said she gave him a good thrashing, which translated is she whooped his ass. As a result of the scalping, he ran away, only to be returned three days later by farmers when he came by looking for work. I'm seven, I can totally work on your farm. Parents. What? Parents don't ask about zoology. So he spent a lot of time asking the pictures as a kid, so the cinema. So when I was little in Scotland, we used to call It. The pictures. I still call it the pictures. Clearly, it's the moving pictures. It's. It's cool. Like, I still see going to the pictures as a treat. I like going to the pictures. I like going there and having my popcorn, my ridiculously oversized carbonated beverage, and watching a movie with friends or by myself or on a date. I'm just saying cinema dates are underrated. But I digress. So he ends up spending a lot of the time at the cinema because his mom was shagging the owner of the local cinema, so he would get to see all the films for free. So basically what would happen is, like, he would come over, he'd pick up Morel and Errol and then drop Errol off at the cinema and then go out and they would boink. So, yeah, it seems like both Errol and Morel never got the attention and affection that they wanted from Theodore, who only seemed to get excited about university funding and the reproductive systems of Australian marsupials. And I also want to point out that while Morel was having her affairs at home, Theodore was having his affairs away. Like, he was constantly out shagging about. Like, I know what you're thinking. A biologist, really? That nerd is getting all the women, apparently. So Now, Theodore, clearly very intelligent, and Errol, although not a dunce, struggled in school and. And I say struggled because he went to a few of them. So he was at the Hutchins School, the friends school, Albuera Primary School. Like, his behavior resulted in him being expelled from all of them. Now, I'm honestly in the mindset, actually, that if Errol Flynn had not become an actor and taken that, like, route in life, he. He would have probably just become a serial killer. And you might be thinking, Katie, that's a very harsh line to say about, you know, a swashbuckling hero. Um, well, did you ever hear about the time that he made a human centipede of ducks? Okay. So he is, like, surrounded by all these animals and he's like, this is really interesting. And there's a bunch of bloody ducks around. And he notices that if ducks eat fatty pork, it basically runs through them, like, super quickly. It just goes through the digestive system right in one end and out the other. And so he ends up tying the fatty pork to a piece of string. This piece of string, I think, is like 10ft long. So, yeah, he feeds it to a duck and then to another duck. So it's going duck after duck, and it basically creates again, just ass to mouth. He's just. Or, sorry, Beak to tail, beak to butt. Beak to butt. He has this just like chain of ducks, right? And he shows this to other children. Like he's all proud of himself and he charges. I mean one could argue entrepreneur. You could also argue beginning of serial killer. So he's like charging children to come and see his duck Aede, right? There's just this, oh my goodness, this party chain of ducks. And when his father returns, Teddy boy sees what he's done and he is so incensed that he beats him with his broly, right? He hits him so hard that the umbrella breaks with when it hits across his back. And this is a child, okay? Like that's not a strong like space. Those bones are still forming. So yeah, he, he does not horrible things also as a child, like he starts acting. So he has acting or a serial killer. I'm just saying. Because when he's nine, he performs as a page boy to Enid Lyons in a queen carnival. So dem. Enid would go on to be an Australian politician. Now she's I think best known for being like the wife of the prime minister. But she was a fairly decent politician in her own right. But in this performance, right, that he's playing her page, they come third in the carnival, so like doesn't win. Now when he is 10 years old, his little sister Nora is born. Now I am not here to argue parentage of Nora, whoms to say but oh, oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Actor or serial killer? I totally forgot. Okay, so Errol is a child. He is a child. The family has a puppy, right? It is a little terrier, a fox terrier if I'm not mistaken. And it bites him because it's a fucking puppy. And puppies bite, okay? Sometimes it's because they need to chew things, sometimes it's because they're just snippy little shits. Okay, again, soft spot for little bastard animals. So the puppy bites him and when it bites him, Errol Flynn throws it and the pup lands in the fireplace with the lit fire. Accidentally he throws a live puppy into a fire, right? I told you. It just gets worse from here, guys. Okay? So, right. You will never look at Robin Hood in the same way again, right? So moving on. When errol Flynn is 12 years old, he loses his virginity to the family maid. Now I don't want to be a prude here, but also that's fcking rape. Okay? That's, that's not cool. That's 12. That is a child, okay? No, that's not okay. I'm no I'm not gonna get incensed over this because I will, but that's not fair. Cool. But yeah, he loses his virginity to the family maid and I. It disgusts me so much. So anyway, the family move around a bit between affairs and work and the fact that Errol keeps getting expelled. So he ends up going to the South West London College for two years. It is a private boarding school in London. And this is during this time, like this is where his mother and sister I think moved to France for a bit because they're just like, no, we're done, Theodore. So they just kind of go for a bit. They do reconcile later and they just kind of. It's a back and forth situation. But yeah, when errol is about 16, 17 years old, he is back in Australia at Ship shore S H O R E, which was the Sydney Church of England Grammar School, which I know you're gonna be shocked. He is also expelled from. Right. Like he claims that he was getting a scrub a dub dub with the school laundress, but in actual fact he stole shit. Theft. He was expelled because of theft. And he tries to make it seem like it was because he was just this Don Juan situation, but not he stole crap. He was a thief. He got expelled. And that is how he ends up looking for a new route in life.

Errol Flynn is 17 years old and. And it seems that he's ran out of educational establishments across two continents. And so he decides maybe education is not for him. And he gets a job with a buddy he met while staying with relatives in Sydney. Kenneth Hunter Kerr, a wealthy socialite. They got on, they were really good buddies because they both liked pretty girls and playing tennis, which, as male friendships go, is a pretty solid base. Kenneth doing his bro a solid, gets him a job with a shipping company. Basically, it's importing, exporting, mainly importing. And he's working for them. However, Errol gets fired for stealing because he pilfered the petty cash. Like, you have a good thing going. Like you have a steady job, you're friends with a socialite, so you're getting access to all the good places and you're still stealing shit. Like, not a wise man, I shall say. So he's, like, trying to figure out what to do next. And another friend convinces him to join one of the razor street gangs in Sydney. Now, on a scale of 1 to invading Russia in the winter, how stupid is this idea? Because it's joining a razor gang in Sydney, right? The very first week that they're in this razor gang, his friend is accused of being a rat and shows up dead in an actual gutter. You know when your parents would be like, you could end up in the gutter. This is what they fucking mean. He was gutted in the gutter with his throat cut with a razor. I know you're shocked that the Razor gang would do such a thing. Needless to say, Errol, although, again, not the sharpest spoon in the cutlery drawer, was smart enough to not want to get murdered by a razor gang and have his mutilated corpse dumped in a gutter. And so he decides to get the heck out of Dodge. So he tries to do a bunch of stuff and then settles into classic colonialism. For five years, he's in Papua New Guinea. According to Errol, he was a boat captain, a fisherman, because he may be beautiful, but they're keeping his ideas on file in a filing cabinet. He's a tobacco farmer, a failed gold Prospector. And he even had a stint in the colonial government until he lost his job because he was shagging someone's wife and then got into a public fight with said husband. Right? So he was like some government lackey. He was doing bits and pieces and being him shag somebody's wife. Now he also starts contracting malaria. So it does become recurrent. But like, this is the starting point for it now. Yes, it does get worse, by the way. It always gets worse. By his own admission, he acted as, and I quote, slave recruiter. Slave recruiter. Now, okay, I'm not entirely sure that one can recruit people for slavery because it. I'm fairly certain that it's more like actually just enslaving people. Like at one point, he purchases an indigenous girl to be his servant, but he also slept with her. Right, the person with no rights and who could not consent. Now there's a word for this. I feel like there's a term which covers this specifically. Yeah, yeah. So Errol Flynn claims that he fled New guinea after being ambushed in the jungle. His assistant was murdered and Flynn shot one of his ambushers, like one of these raiders. He shoots him in self defense. He goes on to claim that he was arrested and charged with murder, only to be saved by the testimony of an old gold prospector. It really does sound like an adventuring story, doesn't it? That's probably because it fucking was one. See, it was not an ambush and murder trial that sent him packing. No, the reason that Errol Flynn left Papua New guinea was because he contracted gonorrhoea. That's right. His penis got diseases. See, when he was a cadet patrol officer, when he was at the coconut plantation, he would not do his job. No, he'd ride around, get drunk, go swimming, visit brothels, and then all of his other Tom fuckery. No wonder he contracted a sexually transmitted infection. Oh, and in the middle of this, right, whole scenario, he gets engaged to Naomi Campbell. Debs, they don't marry, but they are engaged for a time. Right, so this penis disease, right, has gonorrhea. It is during an era, which is before, like, antibiotic treatment. Right? So he's getting the good old treatment of permanganate of potash injected directly into his urethra. He thought that if you took double the dose, it would cure faster. But that's not how medicine works. No. So, yeah, he almost blew out his bladder because he was like, just keep putting more up there. So, yeah, yeah, this lasted months. And he had to go through this very painful treatment. For months on end. And yet he never learned his lesson. Back in Sydney, Errol Flynn is somehow offered a lead role in an Australian film in the wake of the bounty. Now, he claims that he was sailing to New guinea with a film executive who was looking to shoot B roll footage. And this executive who is doing all this work and no cameraman, he takes one look at the dashing boat captain and goes, he has a face for the moving pictures. And so he's like, look at this hot young captain. I have to put him in a film. So he's in this. And the reviews are not great, both for the movie itself and also his acting. Now he is playing Fletcher Christian and this sparked the acting bug in him. Not playing Enid Lyons Page, way back when he was nine. No, no, no, no. This is it. This is where it comes from. But before he tries his hand at acting, he heads back to Sydney for a love affair with an older woman whose name is Madge. Now, he admittedly could not keep up with Madge's sexual demands. Basically, she had a voracious appetite and he could not see satiate her. And so he decides to leave her while also relieving her of her jewels. Now, he absconds, as one does, but the police, they actually do catch up with him. Unfortunately, they cannot find the jewels. Now, he had hidden them in sort of a hollowed out, like shaving brush. So back in the olden days, right, men used to use a soap bar and this little dense brush if you wear makeup, kind of like a kabuki brush, kind of. That's sort of, sort of. It's like a dense little brush. So they would soap it up and lather up and soap up their faces like, I am doing the movements here as if you can see me. I know you can't because this is an audio format, but no. So it's just like lathering up the face so that they can shave because you need that sort of lather. So he had it hollowed out and he had the jewels hidden in there so they don't arrest him because they're like, no jewels, no crime. He makes his way to Queensland and gets work as a sheepdagger, which is someone who castrates sheep, just in case you didn't know that information. He manages to lose this job too. He is fired from this after he is caught in bed with the farmer's daughter. It's almost as if history keeps repeating. It's almost as if he is not learning from his mistakes. So he flees and. And as he leaves, he meets a new friend and lifelong friend, Dr. Herman Urban, right? So these guys are thick as thieves, which is good because they are. See, here's the thing. They get to the Philippines. They've been traveling all over the globe, right? They're in brothels, they're in bars, They're Galal Day, right? They get to the Philippines and get involved in cock fights. Don't. So, yeah, Dr. Urban suggests that they lace a rooster's beak with snake venom and rig fights to scam money. And Errol, who does not have a moral compass or a backbone, is like, sure. Typically, it would take a few minutes to work. So naturally, people assumed that the contending rooster died from their injuries, right? So they'd get picked. The venom would take a while to go through their system, and then they die and they're like, oh, no, this rooster lost. Now, this was how things were going. And things were going well until suddenly and without warning, one cock died. Immediately after being picked, the scam was uncovered and they were run out of town. They make their way to Macau, where a beautiful scammer at a casino tricked Errol out of his winnings and introduced him to opium. So, yeah, now he got his shit stolen. And honestly, good for her. He and Dr. Urban both joined and defected from the Royal Hong Kong Army Volunteers. That was a choice at some point, I believe. It's in Vietnam, Errol Flynn contracts vd, which he calls the peril of great price. Luckily, he has a doctor with him. They get chucked off a ship in Sri Lanka because he was shagging someone's wife. What? Again, you're shocked. In French Somaliland, which is now Djibouti, he starts a fight with customs officials because, of course he does. They make their way through Ethiopia and Morocco before finally arriving in England. So, like, they split ways at some point during this. Now, he goes from Morocco to England. So clearly this is missing from a lot of the information. So did he go through France? Did he sail around the Mediterranean? Because him and Dr. Herman, who's again an Austrian doctor in the early 20th century, they split ways. And so off he goes, he gets to England, and Errol Flynn manages to get work as a stage actor with the Northampton Repertory Company, which was for a while up until he threw a female stage manager down a stairwell. Like, no, you just. You can't throw women down the stairs. Who do you think you are, Princess Diana? Jesus. So he ends up getting a part as an extra in a film, I adore you by Warner Brothers and producer Irving Asher liked the look of Flynn and cast him in a quota quickie. Now, a quota quickie was a film, a British film. It was made in Britain and it was made in order to satisfy the quota requirements of the Cinematograph films Act of 1927. Now basically so many British films had to be made per year and they had to be shown in British cinemas and they had to be filmed in British studios or interior scenes had to be filmed in British studios. And it was like a big deal, a big thing. And so, so many movies had to be made per year. And so Irving Asher, he's in the uk, he's making some movies and so he's like, you know what, let's get this guy in one of them. And so he has Flynn in Murder at Monte Carlo and it's again, not great movie. And Asher, he sees something here, something in Errol Flynn and he cabled Warner Bros. In Hollywood and they flew him out to LA. And next thing you know, the 26 year old was the next big thing. They've decided Errol Flynn is going to be the next man of Hollywood. He's got his contract. They were like, who is this handsome man from Australia? And I'm just trying to imagine him with like a thick Australian accent. I so wish he did. But anyway, when he gets there, right, they start promoting him as Irish. They're like, errol Flynn. Flynn's an Irish name. That'll do. Now his dad's family were of Irish descent and his mom's. But you know, my wobbly there. But he's there and he's like, I'm Irish. And he says that the reason that he was being pushed as Irish was because he believed that no one in America knew that Australia was a real place. So on the boat over to the U.S. i love the fact that I'm like, they flew him out to la. They didn't fly him out to la. That's. That was hyperbole. I'm sorry. They sailed him out to la, they put him on a boat. Okay, okay. So they put him on a boat and they sailed him across. And on this boat he meets Lily Demeter, a French actress, and they marry. He reluctantly marries her, but he's got an image to maintain and Hollywood is very specific about how they want to portray you and, and you have to follow the rules. So this is a tempestuous relationship. Like they're always fighting. It's not helped by the fact that he is a. But yeah, they're always fighting. And their last fight ended with her smashing a bottle of champagne over his head and him punching her in the jaw, breaking her tooth. Now, again, again, not acceptable, not appropriate. But, like, the studio covers this up, basically. They end up in recovery for weeks. And the studio claims that the couple were in a car crash, not that they had a fight. She hit him with a bottle and he punched her in the face, breaking her tooth. But, like, through Lily, Lily is just sort of really well loved as a person in acting circles and art circles and all this stuff. So, like, through her, he meets so many of who we would now see as, you know, the stars of the golden age of Hollywood. And also, like, they travel to Mexico and she introduces him to Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, like, and Diego is the one who introduces him to weed. He's like, have you tried this? And Errol Flynn's like, not yet, but yeah. So, like, he has some parts to begin with in Hollywood. They're not like big headers or whatever, but he's got a few things and he's well received. Now, the issue is for Lily is that her accent is quite thick for American audiences and they struggle with it. So talkies for her, not great. But Errol is selected personally for the role of Captain Blood by Jack Warner himself. And he's just like, this is a big deal. This is the guy. And this makes the studio so much money, it is a massive hit. And he is now a swashbuckling sex symbol. Now he ends up being, like, sort of co starring with Olivia de Havilland a lot. And she's, what, 18 or something? She's super young and he's in his 20s. And so, like, they have to do all of these scenes together. These are like romantic scenes. And she has to kiss him and she is, I'm gonna say it, a bit of a shit as well, because what she would do is she would deliberately try and, like, sauce it up and she would sort of go extra, shall we say, in the romantic scenes, especially when his wife Lily was there on set and it got to the point that things were getting a bit, you know, smoldery and he had to readjust his tights. But, yes, eventually Lily and errol separate in 1937 because, like, he is just going off the charts with fame and also he is dipping his spoon in so many honey pots. So he moves in with David Niven and they start having orgies, like, and these orgies end when Errol Flynn allegedly makes a pass at David Niven and also allegedly Ronald Regan. Now, again, with these orgies like loads of people came out, like after the fact saying that they were in sort of like a flagrae with him, with Errol Flynn. Like everybody was putting stuff into everyone, you know what I mean? It was just kind of, you know, fingers and pies or pie holes and whatnot, so on and so forth. Now, with less orgies to occupy him, Errol wanted a break from Hollywood. So he and his good pal Dr. Herman Urban, they decide to go report on the Spanish Civil war. Like, he's done all of these movies, he's just kind of like, I need a break. And so this is a big fucking deal. You have this Hollywood heartthrob who is going to go report on a civil war over in Europe. Like he thinks he's gonna have his like, Hemingway like, dream. He's gonna be like cool and cultured and report on shit. Now he's gonna go write articles. It's for one of William Randolph Hearst's magazine, because of course it is. And he's gonna go there, Dr. Urban's gonna take photos. It's gonna be a whole thing. Except, okay, here's. Here's a small diny diny, dyny diny issue with this hole. So scenario. See, Dr. Hermann Urban, the Austrian doctor, was a known Nazi operative. And I mean known as a. Known by the FBI. So like, when he's taking pictures for Errol Flynn and the magazines, he is also sending pictures back to the fucking Nazis. Okay, right, so Errol is like pro left faction, right? He wants them to beat the fascists. He's very much pro lefties in this scenario. So that's basically the area where he tends to be. Now, I don't know if you know this about the Nazis, but they fucking hate leftists. I know people are like, but aren't they socialists? It's in the name, mate. I got things about the titmouse that's gonna fucking knock your socks off. Right? I don't know what to tell you. The flying squirrel doesn't actually fucking fly at Glades. I don't know what more you need. Okay, right, okay, right, Sorry, I'm getting angry now. Like, people like Germans who were out fighting on behalf like of the Spanish, like against the fascists. Anyone who volunteered and then was photographed by, say, Dr. Hermann Urban, who, who then returned to Nazi Germany was automatically locked up in a concentration camp or simply murdered. This is what happened. And this is why, like, for a while, the FBI thought that Errol Flynn, if not a Nazi, was a Nazi sympathizer. Anywho, Errol is kicking about with leftist fighters and decides to spread the rumor that he got shot in the face for funsies, right? Like it wasn't as if he hadn't been through shit. Like he'd almost been crushed by a collapsing balcony. He was almost blown up like a few times. But no, no, no, no. This is the crap he pulls. He's like, whoops, what if Errol Flynn got shot in the face? And it's at this point where Jack Warner is so fucking done with his right? He's like, get your bitch ass back to the States. Like, he is so fucking done. He is like done with this Tom fuckery. And he's like, errol Flynn, leave the war torn country and please return to the United States of America. And so he does. He heads back.

Being away in a civil war in a country that has nothing to do with you really helped Errol focus on what he wanted in life for A very short period of time. Okay. It's like when you're studying for finals and then suddenly you need to reorganize the kitchen cabinets. Now he returns home, he reconciles with Lily. They're often on his yacht. He has a yacht. It's called Zaka. It's his favourite. He loves it. They're kicking about that. And then Lily gets pregnant. Well, he impregnates Lily is probably the more appropriate way to say it. No, not appropriate. Accurate. It's the more accurate way to say it. So she gives birth to their son, Sean Flynn, one year exactly before their divorce is finalized. Yeah, yeah. She doesn't stick around. So this divorce, this is such, like a harsh divorce, actually, because he had to pay Lily a percentage of his salary, right? Like a fixed pers. Like percentage. So the more he made, the more he gave her. The less he made, the less he gave her. Right? So it's, you know, it's variable. It's a variable rate. But he also had to pay the tax on it. So what would happen is, like, he would pay the tax and then her tax would go higher and so then she would sue him. So he would pay more tax and it would just kind of like ouroborous. It would just keep going up like a game of Jenga. Now he. He just kind of is caught for this one. I say caught, you know, it's fair. He just ends up continuously paying money. But anyway, he's back swashbuckling, making movies, boozing, smokeying, smokeying, smoking, partying and so on. And he moves into a mansion on Mulholland Drive. And it is, and I say this respectfully, creepy as fuck. It has been demolished now. And I think, like, Justin Timberlake owns a bit of it, which still makes it creepy, I don't give a fuck. But yeah, so it had two way mirrors and peepholes. So we could just like watch people. People like that. Errol. Not cool. Not cool. So, like, when World War II breaks out. Well, I mean, I say breaks out when it finally reaches America in 1941, people start enlisting. Now, E. He becomes an American citizen sort of during this because foreigners were not allowed to own boats that were over 150 tons. And he did not want to give up his yacht. And so he's like, I'm gonna become a citizen. And so they're like, great. So, yeah, he tries to enlist, right? He tries to enlist, but he is rejected because he is fucking riddled, right? He. He had recurrent malaria. At some point he managed to Contract tuberculosis. He had a large heart, chronic back pain from all of his swashbuckling stunts, and he had a whole host of venereal diseases. But because he looked fine, he was accused of being a draft dodger, when really he was just fucked physically. On top of that, the government thought again that due to his time in Spain and friendship with a Nazi, that he was either a Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer. Right. And from about 1942, he starts having heart attacks, like quite regularly. So let's talk about his movies for a minute because I haven't really gone into that, which is like, what is he most known for? Shagging in movies. Because it's time to talk about the movies. So he is in a bunch of films with Olivia de Havilland. They are in eight films in six years from Captain Blood, the Adventures of Robin Hood and basically that's like top tier, right? And so they're in all of these films together now. Like, he tried comedy, but people prefer to see him swashbuckling. But, like, his comedic stuff's actually pretty good. Now he is drinking on set and it's noticed that he's drinking on set and so they ban drinking on set. So what he does is he ends up injecting oranges with vodka. And so whenever he would take a break, he would just eat these like vodka infused oranges. Which is commitment, I'll say. Like not even hiding it in mouthwash and stuff. He's like, I'm just gonna put vodka directly into this orange, right? I don't know, I keep feeling it's gonna be like a clementine or a tangerine or a satsuma, you know, because an orange is quite big, I feel like maybe it's one of the, like smaller citrus fruits. But yeah, at one point as well, like, he's like, I'm such a jokester. And he puts a dead snake in Olivia de Havilland's underwear, which is. I don't know about you, but like an animal carcass, like in my laundry is not. Is not a good thing to do. I don't think that's cool. Oh, my goodness. Let me tell you about Bette Davis. Bet Davis. I love Bette Davis. She's such a. So, like, he claims that she is annoyed at him because she doesn't want his sexual advances when really she thinks he's a fucking prick. Right? And they're on a movie together. They're on a few movies together, but like their second movie together, the Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex were she is playing Queen Elizabeth. And he is playing the other guy. And I don't give a fuck, clearly. So basically, she's in a scene where she has to slap him, right? So they're getting ready to practice. They're, you know, blocking everything, and he's just being him. And she finds out that not only does she have to share top billing with the man, but he's also being paid more than her, which is wild, considering she is clearly the better actor of the two. And so there's a scene she has to slap him. And she's there in her Elizabeth regalia. She's got all of her big rings on, like a knuckle duster. And she's about to slap him. She raises her hand and she just goes, fuck this for a game of soldiers and fucking whacks him on the face. She hits him so hard, it knocks him for six. Like, he goes down like a sack of spuds, right? So she then goes into her trailer and starts, like, dabbing on her makeup just as one does. And he just kind of stumbles in and he's about to have it out with her, and she's just like, it's acting. I mean, if you can't handle acting, I guess you should go, hell sleep there. And she's, like, dabbing away. And he just, like, can't handle that. And so he immediately goes into his dressing room and pukes. He just vomits. Just from the whole ordeal. I probably had some deities, too. However, I like to think it was a good fucking Pam slap from Bette Davis. Now, if only she could knock some sense into him. The very last film he made with Olivia de Havilland was they Died with Their boots on in 1942. Now, this is, like, about Custer, and it's. Anyway, that same year, two teenage girls, Betty Hansen and Peggy Satterley, separately accused Errol Flynn of statutory rape. In early 1943, the trial took place and he admitted to a consensual affair with Peggy, but that he didn't know who Betty was. Now, these girls both went, like, right about the same time of year, they went in and they reported this, right? But did it separately. They didn't know each other. They just happened to do it around the same time. Now, his lawyer tore the girls to shreds, right? One of them was an actress and the other one had been arrested for giving her boyfriend a blowjob. Because apparently both of those things are comparable to statutory rape. So one of the girls was 15 at the time of, again, the statutory rape. So Flynn's argument, right? The argument that is said and we still hear it today. And it makes me so fucking angry, right? The argument is that Errol Flynn is the most gorgeous, handsome, sexy man and this girl is a bit of a munter. Basically, they're saying she's so ugly, right, that Errol Flynn would not want to shag her. Like, oh, he couldn't have raped her because she's not his type. Are you fcking kidding me? She was 15, okay? You're in your fcking 30s, man. It's not cool, it's not acceptable. It is shitty and horrible and I don't give a fck. That is a child. You can argue with me all you want. You can, you can argue me. You'd be fcking wrong, right? But yeah, basically it is an absolute shit show. Like, like one of the girls has an abortion and they're like, clearly she's a terrible person. And it's like, please, how many abortions has fcking Errol Flynn created in the world? Probably more than this lawyer knows about. But like, fans show up every day in support of Errol Flynn, including groups like American Boys Club for the Defense of Errol Flynn. Fuck f. What? What right you have all of those people just being like, ugh, you couldn't have done it. He's a swashbuckling hero. Now, as someone who really believes that swashbuckling movies should make a comeback, because if we know anything, we know that we like people in billowy shirts. We do. We like a billowy shirt, right? It doesn't matter. We watch the Mummy. Every single actor is in a bellowy shirt. Rachel, Vice, Brennan, Fraser, everybody else. I could, I could go through the whole list, right? Mr. Darcy. Like, we like a billowy shirt on a person. It's just really sexy, okay? We love it. Bring back swashbuckling. Thank you. Which is bad when I'm just like talking about this horrible, horrible thing. So while he's at his trial for raping teenage girls, he meets 18 year old Nora Eddington, who works in the tuck shop at the courthouse. Or like she was the cigarette girl, right? So she's there chewing gum and selling cigarettes and he's like, yes. So when he's acquitted, because of course he is, he marries Nora because she's pregnant and he cannot have any more scandal attached to his name. So they get married and they end up having two children together, Rory and Deirdre. Then he leans into writing, he's like, I'm going to write a book. I'm going to write stuff. It's going to be amazing. But you know what I need inspiration. And by inspiration, I mean opium. Spoiler alert. He does not write the book. And by 1949, Nora is done with his bullshit and divorces him. So he's now drinking a bottle of vodka a day. His lover is buggered and he's got hepatitis. Which one? Who knows? He ends up taking his yacht, Zaka, to the Mediterranean and he's hanging out with all the cool people. Prince Rainier of Monaco, who you may know as Gene Kelly's husband. He's with King Farouk of Egypt. I don't know if he's the one who got shot. Maybe. Anyway, I'll have to double check that one. Rita Hairworth is there. And somehow around this time, he gets engaged to Princess Irene Gika, a Romanian princess. Like he meets through Prince Rainier or something, and he's with her. They get engaged because obviously he's divorced Nora or she's divorced him at this point. And then it's like, oh, actually, no. He decides that he likes somebody else because he's in a movie with Patrice Wayman. Rocky Mountain Patrice was 17 years his junior. Oh, and he. Right. He doesn't even break up with the princess himself. He gets his housekeeper to do it. Like, first no backbone, now no balls. Interesting, Errol, interesting. So Errol Flynn and Patrice get married in the south of France, where Errol is yet again arrested for statutory rape of a teenage girl on his yacht. So the charge was dismissed because the shower in the yacht was too small for two people. The shower isn't big enough for two people. You should see the places where people have managed to squeeze their bodies into. Right? Like, there are so many ways the human body can conform to a space that you cannot understand. So I'm just saying, like. I'm not saying. I mean, I am. I mean. No, I'm not saying it's a crock of shit. I'm just saying that the French judicial system maybe sometimes might be a crock of shit. Anywho, Mr. And Mrs. Flynn starts spending a lot of time in his estate in Jamaica. They have a daughter together, Arnella, and he even has his parents, like, move to the estate and live there, too. And it's like, I think it's right about this point that he actually realizes that his dad is also a big whore and is just out, like, shagging all over the world. And that's what he was doing instead of being a parent. So he's now erolizing on 2 liters of vodka a day, right? He's on a fuckton of morphine because his back is buggered. He's smoking like a chimney. And again, lest he forget, just all of the things. All of the things. And Patrice, likely wife number one and wife number two, she is also sick of his fucking shit. And so she leaves him too. But they do not get divorced. But that does not stop him from finding someone else because Patrice leaves him in 1957 and it isn't long before suddenly he has a girlfriend, Beverly Ardland. She's an actress and he meets her when she's 15. Now he ends up dedicating his book to her, which he had a ghostwriter to come and help him write his book. Partly he just told him all the stuff and the Ghost Rider wrote it down. So, yeah. So financially, Errol Flynn is fucked, right? He tries to make his own movie, William Tell, but it folds before it's completed. Then his business manager dies, who, as it turns out, wasn't paying Earl's taxes properly and. And had also been stealing from him for years. So Lily, as we know, has like the most amazing sort of divorce settlement. So she keeps getting money from him and like, he can't pay her, so she sues and gets the Mulholland Drive mansion, the mansion with the peepholes and the two way mirrors and all the other creepy shet. And she ends up seeing, selling that and makes just a good chunk of change off it. To make matters worse, like, just when you thought Errol Flynn couldn't become a worse person, he starts hanging around with L. Ron Hubbard. They are partying, boozying, and just cocaine everywhere. No, not cocaine. Raisins. No, I'm kidding. It is actually cocaine. They're just all over the shop. Now he's hanging out with L. Ron Hubbard, but he's not doing the Scientology stuff. Like he's just there to party and snort cocaine off of, I'm assuming, women's bodies. So 1957, again, things are kind of shit. But they do start looking up because Jack Warner personally casts him in the Sun Also Rises. Because Errol Flynn is no longer the hunky, sexy, swashbuckling man he was. His face is bloated, he's put on a few pounds. He's, you know, not, you know, just the heartthrob he once was. But he's playing disgruntled, drunken. Just. Yeah, and everyone loves it. Critics are just raving reviews. Flynn plays disgruntled, drunken old rogues for the rest of his career. And he's just like, this is him. He's typecast again, but now he's got, like, a new Persona and people are loving it. So in 1958, Errol Flynn travels to Cuba. He says it's for a movie, but it's really because he wants to make a documentary on the revolution. So the movie Cuban Rebel Girls, which just. It just sounds like one of those exploitation movies, Cuban Rebel Girls. Ooh, sorry, it tanked. And his documentary, his pro Fidel Castro documentary was only shown in one place ever. Moscow. Moscow, Russia. Right. Or I think it was the USSR at this point. Now, surprisingly enough, people weren't super into that because, again, there's the whole red scare that's happening in Hollywood and. Yeah, right. The funniest part is, like, Beverly said that Errol Flynn didn't know that Fidel Castro was a communist. It's almost as if people don't know what communism is. Anyway, the next year, like, he needs money because things were looking up and now they've gone south again. And so he needs money. So he decides to rent Zaka, his beloved yacht, to a Canadian businessman. So when he's on the way to Vancouver Airport after, you know, the deal, Erol complains to Beverly that he's got pains in his back and his legs. So basically, he's brought to this doctor, Dr. Gould, who thinks that there is an osteoarthritis situation going on. And so he gives Demerol. He's like, listen, take a nap for your flight. Take this, it'll ease the pain. Demerol, if you don't know, is pethidine something that I react very well to? You react very well to pethidine? The nurses told me that, which is how I ended up falling asleep between contractions. Listen, it's a gift. So, yeah, so he gives him the pethidine. Eero goes to have a little nap and so Beverly's like, okay, let's let him rest. And she goes away. And she's away for about 20 minutes and when she gets back to check on him, he's dead. She can't. Well, she can't wake him up. He's like, completely out of consciousness. He is then taken to a hospital where he is then pronounced dead. But basically, he takes the pethidine, he goes for his nap and he does not wake up. And so on the 14th of October, 1959, Errol Leslie Thompson Flynn died in Vancouver, Canada. He was 50 years old. Cause of death was a heart attack. Although he had a fatty liver and other organ issues. Years of smoking, drinking opium, morphine and cocaine mixed with tuberculosis, malaria, genital warts, gonorrhoea, hepatitis, and a partridge in a pear tree really had an effect on him. He died owing millions and payments had to be made from his estate. He said that he wanted to be buried in Jamaica. Instead, he ended up being buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery with six bottles of his favourite whisky. And so ends the story of Errol Flynn, Hollywood's swashbuckling, walking scandal. If you liked my telling of this story of the life of Errol Flynn, feel free to rate and review five stars. Share this with all your friends and tell people I'm cool and shit. There's so much on Hollywood history that I would love to talk about. There's so many, like, scandals and big deals and just amazing things that I would love to just dive into. But I wanted to keep it nice and succinct, I think, for this month because listen, we can always go back because there's so much to go back on. And I thought, I'm gonna talk about an amazing woman in the next episode. So I thought, you know what? Let's talk about a shitty man. Because why not? I'm sure there are good ones out there. I have a son. I am raising him well. Yeah, I'm joking. Okay? Now there are good men out there, okay? We're just in a world which people are suffering and media and society, they are creating a blame game, okay? And they are telling young men that they deserve better and women are finally getting to a point where they are self sufficient, that they, you know, don't have to suffer necessarily. They aren't forced like legally into a system of abuse where they actually have an option to not be like that. And because the boot was always on the throat and now it's not because of the actions of so many men for so many centuries. It's not even decades, it's centuries that women are revolting against it. And a lot of young men. I'm being fucking serious now for a second. A lot of young men, they see this, they see this anger towards men and they feel hard done by because they have grown up in a world where they were not part of it and now they feel like they're being targeted because they don't have the context. And I think it's a double edged sword in a way because they're raised in a society where you've got half of the people telling them not to be shitty because again, Generations of them have been shitty and they've got all of this, you know, vitriol and all of this sort of perspective of these men who are telling them that, you know, they deserve all of this, they deserve women, they deserve, you know, money, they deserve power and create this idea that women aren't people. You know what I mean? It's just another object to consume, control and use. And I'm not sure of the best way to combat this. Like, I, I don't know what is the best route right now because they're not listening to women and these red pill men are just getting more powerful. Like I had to explain to my son who came to me one day going, why do women hate men? And I'm like, oh no, it's not that we hate men. It's that we hate the suffering that women have endured at the hands of men for centuries. And current generations are neither taking accountability for the actions nor are they trying to improve not only themselves, but the lives around them. Because everything is on fire, the world is going to shit, and we should all be punching a fcking Nazi now. At the end of the day, we all have to try and be better people. I know I've just gone off on this massive fcking rant, but I'm scared for modern men. I'm scared for these boys who have all of these irrational, crazy red pill men shouting in their ears or whispering in their ears and talking about Bugattis and treating women like they're fcking disposable. Like we are becoming so disconnected from one another. And one of the things I really fcking love about this podcast is that I reach so many people and, and I, I know this is just kind of like. I don't want to say share with thoughts. It's like word vomit that's coming at me right now. But I really like that community is growing and well, history doesn't exist in a vacuum. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. It is part of us. It creates who we are today. And I get people contacting me, telling me about how I spoke about a part of their history that they never get to hear. And they're thankful that I'll talk about A and B and not hide behind this and that and, and I know it's such a tiny, tiny thing to do, but if I'm helping someone in even the smallest of ways, then I've done something right. Our purpose in this world is to leave it a little bit better than the way we came into it. And I think we should all just try and do a little fucking good. Anyway, with that rant over, it is recommendation time for watching. I am going to recommend Game Changer on Dropout tv. Now am I trying to figure out a way to befriend Sam Reich so that I could end up on one of the dropout things for some reason at one point. But maybe. But also I really, really enjoy Game Changer. It's so fun for reading. You know what I read? I read Murder She Wrote, Dying to retire. Listen. It's a real book. You can buy it. You can read it. I did. It was fun. And for listening. I have been listening to Sinister Societies. It's a cult podcast or a podcast about cults by Hannah and Sarati from Red Handed Again. I find their voices so soothing and I keep learning about really weird, weird cults. It's. It's amazing. But yeah, that's what I've been listening to. It's an older podcast, but it's still a goodie. And with that rant over, I shall bid you adieu. Au revoir. Adios et vuits, my friends. Bye bye. Hotels.com is the place you go to book hundreds of thousands of hotels.
