Co-authors Robert Matzen and Michael Mazzone present
ERROL FLYNN SLEPT HERE:
Inside the Lover’s Lair
Errol Flynn was one of the greatest lovers of Hollywood’s Golden Era, and his house, “Mulholland Farm,” became the most notorious in movie history. Robert Matzen and Michael Mazzone, authors of the coffee-table hardcover, ERROL FLYNN SLEPT HERE (GoodKnight Books, 2009), take you inside Mulholland Farm (demolished 1988), the legendary hilltop Flynn home that hosted wild Hollywood parties still talked about today-and the bodysnatching of then recently-deceased John Barrymore from Pierce Brothers Mortuary in Hollywood in 1942. The authors’ presentation will also include a short video about Flynn and Mulholland Farm.
Joining Matzen and Mazzone will be Steve Hayes, a friend of Flynn’s who spent five weeks as his houseguest at Mulholland in 1950. Hayes, a bit player in the 1950s, became a screenwriter, contributing the story to the feature film TIME AFTER TIME, and writing more than 100 hours of network television. Hayes documented his close association with Flynn, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and other Hollywood superstars in the two-volume GOOGIES: COFFEE SHOP TO THE STARS (Bear Manor Media, 2008).
Copies of ERROL FLYNN SLEPT HERE will be available for purchase and signing by the authors with partial proceeds benefitting the Hollywood Heritage Museum.
