Errol Flynn

Though there have been myriad books on Errol Flynn - scores of biographies, film studies, analyses, etc. - there has never been one that unfurls his dashing life day-by-day, predominantly through photos, letters, news clippings, and documents. This book does so: from Flynn¿s birth in Hobart, Australia in 1909 through to his death in Vancouver, Canada in 1959. Culled from over 11,000 images in the author¿s personal collection (many rarely or never before published), from the author¿s own travels around the world to photograph locations key to Flynn¿s life, and with text gathered from four years research in the Warner Bros. Archives, the USC Cinematic Arts Library, and the Margaret Herrick Library, the proposed volume would be a 8 1/2 x 11¿ coffee table book with a projected length of 240 pages. Among other popular day-by-day pictorial biographies are those of Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Ernest Hemingway, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Eric Clapton. Flynn¿s colorful life was lived out on the world stage and a better candidate for a book of this style would be hard to find.
