Sean Leslie Flynn (May 31, 1941 – June 1971; declared legally dead in 1984)〔Young, Perry Deane; ''Two of the Missing: Remembering Sean Flynn & Dana Stone '' p. 271 (Press 53: 2009) ISBN 978-0-9816280-9-7〕 was an American actor and freelance photojournalist best known for his coverage of the Vietnam War. Flynn was the only child of Australian-American actor Errol Flynn and his first wife, French actress Lili Damita. After studying briefly at Duke University, he embarked on an acting career. He retired by the late 1960s to become a freelance photojournalist under contract to ''Time''. In a search of exceptional images, he traveled with Special forces units and irregulars operating in remote areas. While on assignment in Cambodia in April 1970, Flynn and fellow photojournalist Dana Stone were captured by communist guerrillas. Neither man was seen or heard from again. In 1984, Flynn's mother had him declared dead ''in absentia''. ==Entertainment career== Flynn first appeared in front of the cameras at the age of fifteen, when he appeared in an episode of his father's television show,''The Errol Flynn Theatre''. The episode, "Strange Auction," was broadcast in the U.K. in 1956 and in the U.S.A. in 1957. In 1960, at the suggestion of his friend, actor George Hamilton, Flynn filmed a scene in Hamilton's picture ''Where The Boys Are''. Most of his scenes ended up on the cutting room floor, but he can still be seen in a scene walking by wearing a blue "Xavier University" sweatshirt.〔Flynn, Rory, "The Baron of Mulholland--A Daughter Remembers Errol Flynn" p. 103, (Xlibris Corp.: 2006) ISBN 978-1-4257-1250-1〕 In 1961, at the age of 20 (and after his father's 1959 death), Flynn accepted a contract to appear in the 1962 ''Il Figlio del Capitano Blood'', a sequel to his father's hit film ''Captain Blood''. The film was released in the U.S. in 1964 as ''The Son of Captain Blood''. He made a few more films in Europe, including ' (1963; released in 1964 as ''Duel at the Rio Grande''), ''Verspätung in Marienborn'' with José Ferrer (1963; released in 1964 as ''Stop Train 349''), ''Agent Special a Venise "Voir Venise et...Crever"'' (1964; sold to U.S. television syndication as ''Mission to Venice''), and ''Sandok, Il Maciste della Jungla'' (1964; released in 1966 as ''Temple of the White Elephant''). Flynn became bored with acting, and he went to Africa in late 1964 to try his hand at being a guide for safaris and big-game hunting. He also spent time as a game warden in Kenya. In the latter part of 1965, he needed money, so he made two Spaghetti Westerns in Spain and Italy that were released in 1966: ''Sette Magnifiche Pistole'' (''Seven Guns for Timothy'') and ''Dos Pistolas Gemelas'' co-starring the Spanish twin performers, ''Pili & Mili''. In the summer of 1966, Flynn went to Singapore to star in his eighth and final film, the French-Italian action film ''Cinq Gars Pour Singapour'' (1967; released in 1968 as ''Five Ashore in Singapore''). Flynn also tried being a singer, recording two songs for a company known as Hi-Fidelity R.V. Records in 1961: "Stay in My Heart" b/w "Secret Love". The songs were released regionally as a 45rpm single (Arvee 5043). The single is now a rare collector's item.〔(45 Discography for Arvee/Orbit/HiFi Records, retrieved 26 December 2008 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sean Flynn (photojournalist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
