    Extract: "Beverly Aadland’s two-year love affair with Errol Flynn didn’t come to light until his death from a heart attack in 1959, at the age of 50. It was Beverly who was with him when he died; she was then barely 17."

    Errol Flynn, playing himself as a war correspondent, helps Fidel Castro overthrow Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. The film was shot, with Castro's cooperation, while he was still fighting Batista.
    Director: Barry Mahon
    Writer: Errol Flynn
    Stars: Errol Flynn, Beverly Aadland

    Sadly this was to be Fynn's last picture. It is the muddled story of a gang of teenage girls out to support Fidel Castro in his attempt to overthrow Batista. The movie was obviously conceived when the U.S. was still in support of the rebel leader. Star Aadland was Flynn's 16 year-old girlfriend at the time. During his career Flynn was arguably as much of a 'Come-back Kid' as President Clinton: Flynn was able to overcome lawsuits, sexual peccadilloes, alcoholism and just about anything else you can name, and still rebound with one more decent appearance on screen. Still, it is doubtful that he would have survived the embarrassment of this picture.

    article by Julie Miller, 7 Sep 2013.

    Extract: "His (Errol Flynn's) 1959 death was tinged with salaciousness, when he reportedly died in the arms of his teenage girlfriend, Beverly Aadland, a former chorus girl whom Flynn had allegedly begun dating when she was only 15."

    article by Catherine Jordan, 9 Nov 1996.

    Extract: "She was only 15, the daughter of a dancer and an industrial chemist, when she met Errol Flynn, then 48, on the Warners lot. They were soon lovers and she became his "darling Woodsie" - so called because she reminded him of a wood nymph."
