Seems Like Only Yesterday
The first still from The Last of Robin Hood, starring Dakota Fanning, has been released. Dakota’s new film is set to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival this September.
In this new indie, “Errol Flynn, the swashbuckling Hollywood star and notorious ladies’ man, flouted convention all his life, but never more brazenly than in his last years when, swimming in vodka and unwilling to face his mortality, he undertook a liaison with underage starlet Beverly Aadland (Fanning). The two had a high-flying affair that spanned the globe and was enabled by the girl’s fame-obsessed mother, Florence.
It all came crashing to an end in October 1959 when events forced the relationship into the open, creating an avalanche of publicity castigating Beverly and her mother.” No domestic release date has been set, but I expect we will hear soon.
