Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1952)

His manager, A1 Blum, used to send Nora her spending allowance. Errol wouldn’t dream of doing this to Pat. He is careful with his money, but wife number three can have all the charge accounts she wants. Fortunately for Errol, she’d just as soon wear slacks or a peasant skirt. And she’s a great manager. Errol’s household bills have dropped fifty per cent since Patty took them over. And she spends her own money on the house — a lamp here, sheets there — and is always buying him little personal bits of jewelry. Most wives don’t like their husbands to have a pretty secretary. Errol’s secretary is a beauty, and she works at the house — but that’s still fine with Pat. This is the most even-tempered wife Errol will ever get, and he’ll be crazy if he loses her. She even likes to cook — and can. So can Errol, and it’s indicative of how tamed the tiger is that Sundays he prefers not to see his men pals, would rather spend the time with Pat alone, barbecuing in their beautiful hillside garden. And Errol is now a TV fan; never misses the Groucho Marx show. Pat loves children, and all three of Errol’s kids love her. She’s gay and sweet with them. And no matter what Errol does in the way of crazy stuff — and he does plenty — he’s a fine father and adores having the children with him. “It’s fun living with Errol,” says Pat. (Other wives called it something else.) "I never know what he’ll do when he comes in the door.” But she’s agreeable — whether its going to Acapulco, catching a plane for Jamaica, or just taking a walk down the road. Errol, who was dead set against a career for Nora, is doing everything to encourage Pat’s. They’ve planned a song, dance and patter act for future theatrical appearances and they might follow the fashion set by Charles Laughton with a program of reading. In Jamaica, they call Pat “Mistress Flynn,” and she likes it. She says the life there is heaven and she has invested some of her own money fn Errol’s cattle and cocoanuts. She is also pai't owner of the $250,000 bungalow hotel Errol plans to build in Apple Valley. In fact, it was Pat who chose the site and transacted the business. And she says she won’t mind a hoot if Errol spends months there without her. She believes that a four months’ vacation from marriage every year helps it to last longer with Mr. Flynn. When he says, “Darling, I have to go away,” she replies, “That’s fine, Honey.” She’s very trusting. “You can’t confine him,” she says. “You have to give him his head — which is fine with me.” Right now Errol is in London where he’s working on “Master of Ballantrae” for Warner Brothers, while Pat is at their plantation in Jamaica. But she plans to join him in England for a joint holiday. Errol is very proud of Pat. “A solid American girl, a real beauty,” is how he described her to me. He has a devilish sense of humor. Errol likes to shock people. At his last bachelor party, Errol offered his guests a mice race, and named each mouse after a favorite ; girl. There was no Pat in his life then, but she would probably have gone along 1 with the gag as she does with everything else for Errol. It occurs to me, as it must have to you, that Pat must love Errol a great deal and that is why she is determined to make the marriage work, and the reason why she : doesn't “make like a wife.” Because if she 1 did, that would be the beginning of the end. And if Errol is as smart as he is clever and charming when he wants to be, ■ he’ll make sure that Pat never falls out of love with him.
