"Life"
Erroll Flynn had it. It's why he had an "In" (invatation) to any party. Because any party he attended was a guaranteed success.
He was even known to come in swinging on a chandelier, or dressed as a pirate.
It's the origin of the expression "In like Flynn". (Meaning a guaranteed success, or a preordained solution. )
Sorry to hear of your old friend, old friend.
I think "in like Flynn" really had more to do with sexual conquests.
Think what you like. Another fascinating actor was Lon Chaney (sp?) "The man with a thousand faces". He could be discharged from one film in the morning, and be hired on to another film in the afternoon, and they didn't know it was him until he signed the contract. They had rules in effect at the time to ration out the roles available, and he broke those rules every time he signed name to another role.
He had his reasons to break the rules, and was good enough, he got away with it. Did his own make up.
