In addition to liking girls at a very young age and being a sex maniac, Errol Flynn was a pathological voyeur.
He lived in a mansion on Mulholland Drive that he had modified so that he could freely indulge in his little vice.
In the guest rooms, all the mirrors were one-way and secret corridors behind the partitions made it possible to observe what was happening in these rooms.
In one of the bedrooms, there was a small trapdoor in the ceiling, above the bed, accessible from the attic, which allowed people to be discreetly looked at from above, without their knowledge.
In her autobiography, published in 1966, actress Hedy Lamarr, who had an affair with Flynn, says she discovered some of the secrets of the star’s mansion.
In particular, she noticed that the bathrooms and toilets were equipped with peepholes to observe people washing or relieving themselves… Above one of the showers, there was a square of glass in the ceiling which seemed opaque on one side but was transparent on the other.
In the ’70s, Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood wanted to buy Flynn’s mansion that was up for sale, and he confirmed that the place was riddled with secret hallways and two-way mirrors: “There were even microphones in the toilets to hear everything! »
The actor Robert Douglas, who had shared the poster of Don Juan with Flynn, also spoke of the perverse side of his colleague: “One evening, Errol made me go up into the attic and opened a trap door which gave onto a room where a young couple he had invited to his home was sleeping. They were naked on their bed. Suddenly, Errol pressed a button and a screen appeared in the two young people’s room. It startled them awake. And the next moment, a porn movie started. The couple was so stunned that they stood there silently, staring at the screen without understanding. »
