Actress Patrice Wymore, third and last wife of Errol Flynn, died on March 22, 2014, in Portland (Jaimaica), due to a long illness. She was 84 years old, although some sources attribute her to 87.

Born on December 17, 1926 in Miltonvale (Kansas), Patricia Wymore began acting at the age of 6 with her family, dedicated to vaudeville. At 17 she began acting on Broadway, until Warner offered her a contract and she moved to Hollywood.

He debuted on the big screen with Tea for Two , with Doris Day , in 1950. That same year he met Errol Flynn during the filming of Ring of Fire . In the tape, she was the daughter of a Union officer who is saved from an attack by the Indians by a Confederate captain. They lived a love story on and off the screen, and they got married that same year. The couple had a daughter in 1953, Arnella Flynn, who worked as a model although she died of an overdose in 1998.

After her wedding, she took part in some titles and starred with her husband in Royal Rhapsody , where she played a princess, and in the series The Errol Flynn Theater , where the actor was a presenter. They ended up separating because of Flynn’s problems with alcohol and drugs, but had not divorced when he died prematurely in 1959. She left him a sprawling coconut plantation in Jamaica.

Wymore then lavished himself on stage musicals. The interpreter appeared in films such as The Gang of 11 , with Frank Sinatra and his family of friends, and in numerous series such as Perry Mason , until she retired in 1967 to open a clothing store.
