American actor and photojournalist (born 1941), son of Errol Flynn, who disappeared in Cambodia in 1970 during an assignment covering the Vietnam War. It is believed that Flynn was killed by the Khmer Rouge in 1971, and he was declared legally dead in 1984. ALS signed “Sean,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 7, The Lawrenceville School letterhead, no date but circa late 1950s. Letter to his father, Errol Flynn. In part: “Just a note to show you that I can write. I just got back here a while ago and you don’t know how damned awful it is…I hope that Annabel didn’t get hysterical in the rehearsal…I went back and talked to her for a while explaining the facts—I don’t know if it did any good but at least she stopped crying for a while…if you could drop me a line and tell me what’s going on around the Flynn cortege, I’d appreciate it.” In fine condition, with staple holes to the upper border of the last page. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
