Flynn had a cavalier attitude towards sex throughout his adult life, but especially after his statutory rape trial. He frequented brothels and had a one-way mirror in his Hollywood home so he could observe his guests making love.
But his biggest weakness was young girls. David Niven remembered driving to Hollywood High School where Flynn described the girls as jailbait or ‘San Quentin quail’.
Flynn should have learned his lesson after his statutory rape trial in 1943 but continued having sex with young girls, including fifteen-year-old Beverly Aadland.
They met in 1957 when he was playing John Barrymore in Too Much, Too Soon and she was filming dance sequences for Marjorie Morningstar.
Errol called Beverly ‘Woodsie’, because she reminded him of a wood nymph, and she was the ‘small companion’ to whom he dedicated My Wicked, Wicked Ways.
