He’s not the only one who died young. Who else? Gary Cooper? Think Bogart-57. Gary Chandler-close. Cancer took lost of them.
I think I recall reading that he and John Garfield were friends. Garfield died at the age of 39. He was known to have had a heart problem. David Niven and Flynn were friends too, and partied together. I loved Errol Flynn, and have a collection of his movies.
Tyrone Power, Clark Gable.
