5. He Had Adventure In His Blood

This book is an absolutely invaluable investigation of Errol Flynn's pre-Hollywood years, by an author who was an experienced historian of Australia and Tasmania. Happily, it was written in time for the author to actually interview some of the people who knew Flynn and could give him firsthand descriptions of his adventures. In late 1932, Errol Flynn, a native of Australia, is living in a small rental flat in the inner-city suburb of King’s Cross in Sydney. He becomes entangled with a married woman of the upper class. One night, as she lay beside him, jewels on a bedside table catches his eye. In a moment of revelation and desperation, the young man takes possession of them and flees the country, never to return. A stage mom through and through, Beverly’s mother does not seem remotely alarmed when Flynn invites her daughter to an “audition” late at night, despite the fact that Flynn has a reputation as, to use Beverly’s father’s terms, “a walking penis.”

Of course, I thought, as I set eyes on her, there is no hope for me here – she is unattainable, way beyond me. But as we chanced to meet in front of Usher’s and she spotted me, somehow, she had a different view of the possibilities. She moved toward me, sure-footed, without embarrassment, and asked some trivial question about street directions that merely led into animated talk. Cuddihy, Martin (21 June 2009). "ABC News".
