Errol Flynn Slept Here: The Flynns, the Hamblens, Rick Nelson, and the Most Notorious House in Hollywood spans the life and death of Mulholland Farm, the elegant, infamous mountaintop showplace built by Errol Flynn, swashbuckling star of Captain Blood, The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Sea Hawk, and other classics of the silver screen. It’s a story that spans five continents and includes Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, Fidel Castro, Humphrey Bogart, Shirley Temple, Clark Gable, Billy Graham, Johnny Cash, Roy Rogers, the Rolling Stones, and—of course—the three owners of Mulholland Farm: wicked, wicked Errol Flynn; Christian singer, songwriter, and radio star Stuart Hamblen; and rock ‘n’ roll legend Rick Nelson.

- Multiple, credible eyewitness accounts of the most haunted house in Hollywood
- More than 200 photos in black and white and color, most of them previously unpublished
