Famous for his swashbuckling film roles in the likes of “The Adventures of Robin Hood" and "The Sea Hawk" Errol Flynn drank and womanised his way through a career in Hollywood that was as much full of controversy as it was full of glory and glamour. A troubled child who was expelled from some of the finest schools in Australia and the United Kingdom Flynn hit the big time in his role as Fletcher Christian in the Australian film "In the Wake of the Bounty". Hollywood stardom soon followed, as did a life long infatuation with teenage girls. His dubious sexual preference got him into trouble with the authorities when two teenagers accused him of statutory rape. He beat the charges and the adverse publicity did little to harm his film career or love for underage schoolgirls. While his sexual preferences may come under criticism his drinking abilities cannot. He was a renowned boozer and hell raiser and towards the end of his life his love for the bottle got the better of him. While battling alcoholism he died of a heart attack in the arms of a girl young enough to be his daughter.
