The Baron of Mulholland A Daughter Remembers Errol Flynn

With the debut of Errol Flynn’s first American film in 1935, my father suddenly found himself an international film star. Captain Blood was also notable for establishing my grandfather as the world’s pre-eminent “swashbuckler,” a kind of ultimate cinema hero whose combination of charm, daring and male beauty many film lovers believe has never been equaled, even to this day.Also contributing to my father’s enormous popularity as, in the words of fellow actor Stewart Granger, “the greatest star the film industry has ever produced,” was the fact that he convinced audiences that he took as much pleasure in his onscreen adventures as in his wildest off-screen exploits… I, therefore, offer this book to those with an interest in the golden days of early Hollywood and, in particular, to those many long-time fans who tell me of their excitement at discovering his work long after his passing.
