The Sean Flynn I Knew
He Wasn’t Like His Dad
By Zalin Grant

Sean and Errol Flynn had only one thing in common. Both were uncommonly handsome. At six-two, blond, hazel eyes, Sean was considered by many to be le plus beau. Like his father he attracted women. Unlike his father he didn’t chase skirts. Neither was he a boozer or a brawler.

In fact, Sean was reserved, especially around women, and always polite. He never fully escaped the middle-class values instilled in him by his mother—Lili Damita, a former French actress, whom Sean loved but sometimes found a bit too much of a mother-hen. Since his battling parents divorced when he was born in 1941, he barely knew his father until his teenage years. Then his most memorable son/dad experience came when Errol stole his recent LA girlfriend who was 14 years old.

Sean’s personality seemed to disappoint many people. They wanted him to be more like his dad. It seemed to go better with the story of the war photographer who was ready to take it over the top. After all, he was also a sort of movie star like Errol Flynn and had played “Son of Captain Blood.” Some people were even ready to embellish stories about Sean to make him sound more like they wanted him to be.

This was what Sean had fought against his whole life. He didn’t want to be known as a copy of Errol Flynn. And he chose the only way he knew to prove that he wasn’t—he went to war. His dad was pretend-brave in war movies with fake explosions. Sean was brave in a real war with explosions that blew off heads and legs. Vietnam was Flynn taking on Flynn...

Tim Page passed away a few days ago. Incredibly talented man who first left to photograph the Vietnam War when he was only 17. Most of the photos burned into our memories from that war were taken by Page. I hope he met up with Sean and Dana.

"There’s a place called the War Remnants Museum in Saigon, now called Ho Chi Minh City. That is the only place in the world where Requiem, the pictures from the book honoring all of the dead and missing photographers, is on permanent display. I was doing seven interviews a day and I got pinned in front of the main wall, and for some reason I just became unwound and burst into tears. I think that was the only emotion I went through. The emotion of going back and being with a bunch of old mates is always good, and I’ve been going back every year since 1985."

“One of his famous lines was, ‘the only good war photograph is an anti-war photograph,'”
