Married With Children
Errol Flynn was married three times, and fathered children with each marriage:- One son with actress Lily Damita
- Two daughters by Nora Eddington
- One daughter by actress Patrice Wymore
Where are his kids?
- His son Sean went first into acting, then became a journalist photographer. He was killed presumably by North Vietnamese. It's a long, bizarre, and unpleasant story.
- His daughter Diedre allegedly went into stuntwork.
- His daughter Rory first pursued modeling. She is now a photographer.
- His daughter Arnella modelled for the Ford Agency. Regrettably, she passed on in September, 1997.

What about that statutory rape trial?
-
Based on what I've uncovered:
- Betty Hanson's story was a fabrication.
- Peggy Satterlee may well have spent a romantic weekend on The Sirocco, but her story probably doesn't resemble the one she told the court.
