    First one is unknown unless its Desperate Journey??? But it doesnt look like Desperate Journey even though they did wear Brit uniforms-even the three Amis who made up the bulk of the bomber crew.

    2) Is easy-Silver City. Ive seen this pic before. Had I not seen it before, I would have almost sworn it was San Antone or even Rocky Mountain-but I dont recall Gwinn "Big Boy" Williams or Alan Hale Sr being in that movie.

    3) No clue on Nr 3-ive never seen that movie before.

    Last one is super easy-They Died With Their Boots On, and is showing Flynn (Custer) with hands around Arthur Kennedys (Sharpe) throat.

    Good detective work on finding some pic sof Sean Flynn. If i recall correctly? I THINK he was killed in action in Vietnam. Shame too because he could have fairly easily have filled his Daddy's shoes.

    I smell Blood with the first picture-or am I wrong?

    The little girl in pic two is now deceased. That gal is the Daughter of Patrice W/ Flynns last fling. The Daughter fell onto hard times-much of it thanks to her mom, and she took up with a beach bum on the Island they lived on-got suckered into the drug scene, basically disowned by the family and left to her evils. Unfortunately-she chose the evils because she saw no way out, needed help one more time but the mom turned her back on her when she needed help the most, the beach bum boyfriend got her the drugs she died an over-doseage on. Sad story for every member of that family. As far as Im cioncerned, both the boyfriend and mom should be indicted for murder.

    Thats all too true. What is really bad besides her story was that she was absolutely beautiful.

    And-though so ;-)

    Thats true, also Patrice W/ claimed that she was shoving "Tough Love". IMO, there is no such thing as tough love and she really should be indicted for the loss of her Daughter.

    Damned shame he died at the young age of 50. I could have easily imagined him in blockbuster movies like: A Bridge Too Far, El Cid, The Alamo, Fall Of the Roman Empire, Spartacus, even as an Elder in Superman-along with Harry Andrews & Trevor Howard, and or even in Star Wars instead of Peter Cushing--as Grand Moff Tarkin-though I thought Peter Cushing did an excellent job of it ;-))

    [​IMG] Willard Hearne with picture of late love, Arnella. (c) Splash News.

    Willard Hearne, a long time friend and sometime lover, couldn’t believe his luck when Arnella fell for him. A former supermodel and heir to one of the biggest plantations on the island, she was infatuated with the 56-year-old Rastafarian with matted dreadlocks and jaundiced eyes from years of smoking.:eek:

    The Last Search for Sean Flynn | Cover Story

    Sean was an expert at jungle survival and would go on treks with the Special Forces and Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols into the most remote areas of Vietnam. The last sighting of Sean and Dana Stone was at a checkpoint in eastern Cambodia where they were captured by the Viet Cong and were never seen again. They may have been executed in 1971.

    I found it sad that, although Sean Flynn was declared legally dead in 1984, his mother Lily Damita never gave up hoping for his safe return. She died in 1994 at the age of 92 years.

    Both Errol and Sean were extremely good looking and had plenty of charisma. It's hard to say who was the better looking of the two:

    Hi Ray, I tried to salute ya no success but, this stuf is great. Ill see if reps take.

    Anyway, I think the Dad was better looking of the two. But the Dads "look" probably wouldnt work in todays sicoety.

    Also, great publicity shot of him in: Charge of the Light Brigade.

    Oh and ive always said that its a damned shame that he never "connected" with and married Olivia de Havilland. I saw an ninterview of her a few years ago where she said that she could have easily fallen in love with Errol and would have married him.
