Lot 408
Flynn, Errol (1909-1959) Tasmanian actor, best known for his swashbuckling adventure roles in movies like The Adventures of Robin Hood and Captain Blood. His on and off screen charisma was undeniable, so much so, that even after a high-publicity trial in 1942 he remained a popular star.
Inscribed Photo Signed ("Errol"). Sepia toned, 8 x 10", n.p., n.d. Inscribed in blue ink "For Johny [sic]/ see you in / the attic." There is a patch of staining with abrasions to the surface layer at the center left edge affecting the words "for Johny" and it appears that a touch up has been made to that portion of the inscription in a hand other than Flynn's; and a 1" horizontal stain at the upper left. In fair to good condition overall.
Smoking a cigarette, the debonair hero appears youthful in this soft focus picture.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
From the collection of actress Constance Moore.
