In his lifetime, Errol Flynn received no recognition from his peers at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He never attended a ceremony in his honor and was not nominated. Could be that his screen persona, the swashbuckler, the rake, stuck to him too well? Yet in his career he defined a male archetype and forever set his mark on movie maleness, in fact, created a constellation of manly virtues that even today is the stuff of dreams.

What a life....
Any ideas on how to celebrate his 100th birthday in a manner to honor the man who said
"There is nothing like lying flat on your back on the deck, alone except for the helmsman aft at the wheel, silence except for the lapping of the sea against the side of the ship. At that time you can be equal to Ulysses and brother to him."
Errol Flynn
or
Women won't let me stay single and I won't let me stay married.”
Or
"I allow myself to be understood as a colorful fragment in a drab world.”
His second wife had this to say:
"The only time he wasn’t living was when he was asleep, and even then I think he dreamt well."
-– Second wife Nora Haymes
Think I will open a bottle of rum and watch Captain Blood onboard Torea or try to convince the Star of India in San Diego to have a "Movies before the mast" night featuring Errol Flynn in one of his many swashbuckling roles on the 100th anniversary of his birth – June 20, 1909.
