Historical Data
Errol
Leslie
Thomson
Flynn
was an
Australian
actor
most
famous
for his
romantic
swashbuckler
roles
and his
flamboyant
lifestyle
.
Flynn
was
discovered
by a
Warner
Brothers
executive
who
signed
him and
shipped
him to
America
as a
contract
actor
. In
1935

married
Lily
Damita

came

When
she
married
Flynn
in
May
of
1935
, she was the
star
of the
family
, and he was a

unknown
. That was

change

Flynn
became
an
overnight
sensation
with his
first
starring
role
in
December
of the
same
year
. The
couple
had a
son
in
1941
, and
divorced
in
1942
; that
same
year
Flynn
became
a
naturalized
citizen
of the
U.S
.
Flynn
died
after
having
suffered
a
massive
heart
attack
in
Vancouver
in
1959
. He
is
interred
at
Forest
Lawn
Memorial
Park
Cemetery
in
Glendale
. He
received
two
stars
on the
Hollywood
Walk
of
Fame
:
Motion
Pictures
(6654
Hollywood
Blvd)

(7008
Hollywood
Blvd)
