**Errol Flynn** (Hobart, Tasmania, 1909 – Vancouver, 1959) was an iconic Australian actor of Hollywood's Golden Age. Known for his roles as an adventurous hero and swashbuckler, he gained worldwide fame with *Captain Blood* (1935), which launched him as a star.

His most celebrated character remains Robin Hood in *The Adventures of Robin Hood* (1938), where his agility, charisma, and elegance made him the archetype of the action hero. Other successful films include *The Charge of the Light Brigade* (1936) and *The Sea Hawk* (1940), often alongside Olivia de Havilland, his frequent co-star.

Flynn embodied the audacious, charming, and rebellious man, with an unmistakable style that combined chivalrous charm and a touch of roguishness, becoming the symbol of cinematic adventure in the 1930s and 1940s.
