Makes Me Remember
...... the actor Errol Flynn had just been to the burial of one of his best friends, Jack Barrymore (Barrymore had actually lived for awhile with Flynn in his mansion). Flynn and W.C. Fields rode in a procession car together and naturally for those two, stopped at a bar for some drinks. Flynn couldn't take anymore, so he went home to his mansion.
Flynn came in the front door, turned to go into the living room and saw Jack Barrymore sitting in his favorite reclining chair with a cigarette in his mouth, his arm stretched out on the armrest with a drink of booze in his hand,....... as always his favorite position. Flynn screamed like a maniac, turned, and went running out of his house.
Flynn's "friends" had arranged the entire thing. That's why W.C. Fields delayed him at the bar while others took Barrymore's body and made all the arrangements in Flynn's house........ Flynn said he never drank again........ until later that night.
