Flynn created the legendary Mulholland Farm when he was 32 years old. The leading ladies man of his era was also Hollywood’s original bad boy. Flynn bought 11.5 acres on top of a ravine off Mullholland Drive in 1941 and built a modest’ ranch style Colonial mansion. It had a pool, tennis court, barn, and the estate even had a casino where famed Mobsters and starlets such as Linda Christian, Hedy Lamarr, Faith De Burgh and many others would gamble and party non-stop all weekend long. He even had secret passages built for notorious reasons.
Unfortunately, Flynn’s fast living ways caught up to him in 1959 when he died at age 50. Mulholland Farm estate was then purchased by Stuart Hamblen, one of American radio’s first singing cowboys. In 1980 singer-songwriter Ricky Nelson and his family bought the Mulholland estate. A few years after Ricky Nelson’s death,in 1988. a real estate developer bought the Mulholland Corridor property and demolished Flynn’s notorious home. Perhaps Errol’s ghost was disturbed because in 1997, when actress Helen Hunt purchased the property, she built a home that she never lived in, for reasons never really explained. Fittingly, history seemed to repeat itself in 2002 when she sold it for $8.2 million to a modern swashbuckler of another sort: pop star Justin Timberlake. What a sale!
