Patrice Wymore Flynn
Patrice Wymore Flynn (December 17, 1926 – March 22, 2014)She was a stage actress of the 1950s and 1960s, known for her marriage to Errol Flynn. Wymore's first film appearance was in the 1950 film Tea for Two, opposite Doris Day and Gordon MacRae, where she made an impression with the Latin flavoured rendition of 'Crazy Rhythm'. That same year she starred in Rocky Mountain opposite Hollywood legend Errol Flynn, with whom she would become romantically involved. She temporarily retired from Hollywood after giving birth to her daughter, Arnella Flynn, born December 25, 1953. The daughter would later become a fashion model in Europe. In 1955 she appeared with her husband Errol Flynn and Anna Neagle in the film version of King's Rhapsody. Although only in his forties, Flynn was already in a physical and mental decline by the time they married. Wymore took a break from acting to care for her now ailing husband, and to better raise their daughter, while settling on their estate in Jamaica. However, due to Flynn's alcohol and drug addictions, the couple separated. The couple was near divorce, but were still together when Errol died in 1959. Wymore returned to acting, mostly in summer stock musicals such as Carnival!, Guys and Dolls, Irma La Douce, and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. She made a memorable appearance as Adele Elkstrom, Frank Sinatra's girlfriend, in the hit film Ocean's 11 in 1960. She died on March 22 of this year, from pulmonary disease, and is buried at Forest Lawn-Glendale (as is Errol Flynn).
