Here comes a long story but I thought it fitted better here then creating a new thread...
The man to the right closest to the camera, is Sean Flynn. The son of famous actor Erroll Flynn. The place is South Vietnam and the year is 1968
A few years ago he tried to follow in his fathers footsteps and become a famous actor but got tired of it and then began as a freelancing journalist in Vietnam when America started getting more and more involved in the conflict
He quickly made a name for himself as a fearless journalist but also for his aggressive drinking and drug abuse
The picture above is a picture of Erroll Flynn in the Hollywood epic "Captain Blood" and the picture above that's the sequel with Sean in the lead.
During a trip to Cambodia for a story they got stopped by guerrilla soldiers on a road.
What happened after that have always been a mystery, there has been many speculations regarding what happened that night. Seans mother Lili Damita spent huge amounts of money trying to find his remains without any success.
Now, 40 years later the mystery resolves. Some British folks have found the remains in Cambodia and witnesses who remember a tall blond man being shot in the 1970's by the guerrillas
Seans 53 year old sister is still waiting for the analysis from Hawaii to confirm that it is Seans remains they found in Cambodia, but judging from the witnesses and the time and the place, it's Sean.
To end this little story I'll end it with a beautiful tune from The Clash called just that: Sean Flynn

Some people also say that Sean Flynn was the inspiration for Dennis Hopper's character in Apocalypyse Now. Some say Tim Page was the inspiration but anyhow, here's a clip of Dennis doing his thing in the movie:
