  Errol Flynn
Errol Flynn (June 20, 1909 - October 14, 1959), stage name of Errol Leslie Thompson Flynn, was an actor, born in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
His reputation as a womanizer led to the expression "In like Flynn." He was well known for having wild parties and eventually his own reputation had him brought up on a statutory rape charge in 1942 by teenagers Betsy Hansen and Peggy Satterlee.
The trial took place in January and February of 1943, and Flynn was cleared of the crime, but he suffered both personally and in his career.

Flynn was brought to Hollywood, where he played the title role in "Captain Blood" (1935), the first in a series of swashbuckling adventure films, including "The Charge of the Light Brigade" (1936), "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938) and "The Sea Hawk" (1940).
Ironically, when Flynn attempted to enlist in the military during World War II, he was classified 4F, and was turned down by every branch of the service, due to a heart defect, and previous cases of malaria and tuberculosis.
After a highly publicized trial, Flynn was found not guilty, which lead to the popular expression, "in like Flynn." Rather than ending his career, the rape charges seemed to enhance Flynn's reputation, particularly when rumors began to surface that the charges may have been part of an extortion scheme against several movie executives.

However, in his autobiography, Flynn effectively acknowledged--without confirming--the rumors about his sexual exploits with men when he noted that many of his female co-stars thought he was a "faggot" (his term) because his politeness was interpreted as emotional distance.
The anecdote, of course, indicates nothing definite about Flynn's own sexual interests, but the plea for tolerance, coupled with the familiar citation of the glories of Greece, is significant because it challenges the climate of sexual repression that was pervasive in the 1950s.

Flynn's stardom wasn't on a par with the richly ambiguous artistry of Cary Grant, or the deep, enduring heroic legacy of John Wayne, or the indelible character work amassed by Flynn's Warner Bros. contemporaries Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, and Edward G. Robinson.
Errol Flynn was certainly the most colorful star of Hollywood's "Golden Age", with a devil-may-care swagger hiding the insecurities of an unhappy childhood, reckless lifestyle, and desperate desire to achieve respect as an actor, and not just a swashbuckler in tights.
Flynn could be sweet and courteous, an arrogant bully, a roue and bon vivant, a restless adventurer, a loyal friend, or an unreliable "royal pain", depending on who you spoke to (and when).
