Errol Flynn set the standard for the modern action hero in films
like The Adventures of Robin Hood, Dodge City, and The Sea Hawk.
This biography follows Flynn from his birth in Tasmania, Australia,
in 1909, to his death in Vancouver, Canada, in 1959. Included is
analysis of his films, discussion of the 1943 rape trial that
changed his life, a survey of the FBI's infamous surveillance, and
the first detailed account of his television appearances in the
1950s. First-hand interviews with Flynn's friends and colleagues
are complemented by research from FBI files, correspondence,
Flynn's diary, and other sources. Illustrated with rare and
previously unpublished photographs, the study also gives attention
to the historical backgrounds and cultural influences that
contributed to Flynn's fame; the work takes an objective and
analytical look at the actor's adventurous life. The study includes
two appendices: the first is a collection of quotations from
various celebrities, from memories of his talent and style to
anecdotes about his wild pool parties. The second appendix is a
filmography including all Flynn's work for film, stage, and
television, with cast and crew information.
