20 Heartthrobs from the Golden Age of Hollywood

The original Robin Hood, Errol Flynn, stole many hearts in the ’30s and ’40s

Perhaps no one was better known in Hollywood for playing a swashbuckling hero than Errol Flynn, the original Robin Hood circa 1938.

Flynn was also known for his lavish lifestyle and excessive drinking, and as TCM’s biography says, “in spite of his ongoing-if-tumultuous marriage, his prolific sexual appetites (with partners of both sexes, tabloid-scented biographies alleged in more recent years, though widely disputed)” were quite infamous.
