What's past is prologue. The 2005 documentary "The Adventures of Errol Flynn". THIS IS the foundation and beginning to MJ. Study closely and do your research. Class is now in session.
This history will give you the necessary shading to understand things coming later in the series. How Errol Flynn was the first real "Hollywood Hero" and how Michael used him as a template to create his own "Hero" persona. Stay tuned...it gets better.
Flynn flew with Aadland to Vancouver on 9 October 1959, to lease his yacht Zaca to millionaire George Caldough. On 14 October, Caldough was driving Flynn to the airport when Flynn felt ill. He was taken to the apartment of Caldough's friend, Dr. Grant Gould, uncle of pianist Glenn Gould. A party ensued, with Flynn regaling guests with stories and impressions. Feeling ill again, he announced "I shall return" and retired to a bedroom to rest. A half hour later, Aadland checked in on him and discovered him unconscious. Flynn had suffered a heart attack. According to the Vancouver Sun (16 December 2006), "When Errol Flynn came to town in 1959 for a week-long binge that ended with him dying in a West End apartment, his local friends propped him up at the Hotel Georgia lounge so that everyone would see him." The story is a myth; following Flynn's death, his body was turned over to a coroner (George Brayshaw), who performed an autopsy, and released his body to his next of kin.Errol Flynn is interred in Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery, in Glendale, California. Both of his parents survived him.
Thanks mjintrigue2012, thanks for posting all those fascinating videos! I knew nothing of him, except I know the song line, "You ain't seen nothing like the mighty Flynn". I only watched the first 4 videos and last interview before his death, and will watch the others later. The MJ mystery is ever-widening. Here is Wiki on Flynn's death.QuoteFlynn flew with Aadland to Vancouver on 9 October 1959, to lease his yacht Zaca to millionaire George Caldough.
