Earl Conrad

I am currently reading The Life and Career of Errol Flynn, an excellent biography of the late actor written by my friend and fellow Chicagoan, Thomas McNulty. I just read where Earl Conrad, who wrote Harriet Tubman back in 1943, and was born Earl Cohen, was hired as a ghost-writer to help Flynn finish his autobiography, My Wicked, Wicked Ways. (Something I did not know.) Unfortunately for Flynn, his autobiography was not published until after his death.

If anyone is interested in Flynn's life and career, I highly recommend McNulty's book. Tom writes some excellent westerns, too, and for those who like werewolves in myth, legend, fact, fiction, and film, his Werewolves is another great book I recommend.
