Errol Leslie Flynn (20 June 1909 – 14 October 1959) was an Australian-American film actor , known for his romantic swashbuckler roles in Hollywood films and his flamboyant lifestyle . Flynn was born in Hobart , Tasmania . Flynn had a reputation for his womanizing, consumption of alcohol and brawling. His freewheeling, hedonistic lifestyle caught up with him in November 1942 when two under-age girls, Betty Hansen and Peggy Satterlee, accused him of statutory rape , A group was organized to support Flynn , named the American Boys' Club for the Defense of Errol Flynn (ABCDEF); its members included William F. Buckley, Jr . The trial took place in January and February 1943, and Flynn was cleared of the charges . The incident served to increase his reputation as a ladies' man, which led to the popular phrase "in like Flynn" , the phrase being later parodied in the James Coburn comedy spy film In Like Flint .
He would have been 100 today
