Errol Leslie Thomson Flynn (20 June 1909 – 14 October 1959)[1] was an Australian-born American[2] actor.[3] He was known for his romantic swashbuckler roles in Hollywood films and his playboy lifestyle. 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.

在屏幕上,埃罗尔·弗林永远是一个热爱自由的叛逆者,为了正义和美女的芳心而不停战斗。而在屏幕下,他的那些怪僻:酗酒,打架,漂泊和乱交等,则让他的屏幕形象都相形失色。他曾卷入三起强奸案诉讼中,由于私生活麻烦不断,而纵欲也让他的青春不再,他的事业开始走下坡路,而诉讼案和国税局更让他头痛不已。而他的钱财也所剩无几,他后期的角色很少有值得称道的,但是因为他的悔悟和他曾创造出的经典形象,影迷们在他去世后还是非常的怀念他。
