After the trial
free...@my-deja.com
years after the trial? Did either of them ever speak out after Errol's
death in '59? They'd be about 75 now, I think. Buster Wiles in his
book "My Days with Errol Flynn" pretty vehemently states Errol was sick
that weekend and nothing happened- he also says that Satterlee's father
was arrested some months after the trial on child molestation charges
(of very young children). And, did anyone read the interview with
Patrice where the interviewer says she came across like Norma Desmond
in "Sunset Boulevard" (out of touch with reality)?

One of the two was interviewed for television in the 60's, I believe.
I've never seen this interview, but was given the impression that the
woman was not altogether "there". Does anyone have information on this?

Wiles paints a very ugly picture of Satterlee's father. I believe he
added this information to his book in order to support the young
woman's questionable upbringing and background.

I have heard of this interview, but have yet to see it. Do you know
where it might be available for viewing?
As an aside, I recently enjoyed an encore viewing of "Escape Me Never".
EF gives, I think, a solid comedic performance. Very funny! Had Jimmy
Stewart been the lead, this film would now be considered a "classic",
no doubt!
I hope all is well with you & the rest of the group.

two months ago. It also detailed the sad end of Arnella, but I remain
skeptical because I wasn't sure about the writer's credentials or
motives. It was a British interview. I thought it odd that she'd
stayed in Jamaica all these years running a plantation. Another thing I
thought odd was Patrice's letter on the CMG agency website (it handles
Errol's estate). It seems a touching tribute to Errol, yet she had him
buried at Forest Lawn when it appears he clearly wanted cremation and
to be scattered in Jamaica. The interviewer said she insisted she and
Errol had reconciled, and that he was on his way home. According to
the interviewer, she also said he felt he'd gotten away with the "rape"
and maybe he should have been convicted.
I missed "Escape Me Never". Isn't it funny how in recent years so
many of Errol's co-stars who initially "pooh-poohed" their movies
(DeHavilland, Bette Davis) decided that the movies and his performances
were actually very good. I watch some old movies and think that a
sober, balanced Errol could have done a super job in many roles given
to Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart and even John Wayne. I recently saw "The
Alamo" again, and thought Errol would have made a great Jim Bowie or
even Travis.

tell you very much-- other than that the trial effected her one way or the
other. She did seem to have rather romantic notions about what she wa slike
as a youngster- and she talked of rape, whereas the issue was underage
sex(which she seemed to have nor problems with).

Interesting.
