Early years
Aadland was born in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles. She entered show business as a child, appearing in the film Death of a Salesman (1951).[2]
Biography
Beverly Elaine Aadland was 17 at the time she was with actor Errol Flynn when he died of a heart attack on October 14, 1959, in Vancouver, British Columbia at the age of 50.[1] In 1961, Aadland's mother, Florence Aadland, alleged in the book The Big Love that actor Flynn had a sexual relationship with her daughter starting at age 15, yet there is also speculation he was led to believe she was 18.[3][4] The book would be turned into a one-woman Broadway show starring Tracey Ullman as Florence. The memoir was reissued in 2018 by Spurl Editions.[5][6] Beverly Aadland gave an account of her relationship with Flynn in People in 1988, confirming that she had had a sexual relationship with Flynn in her teens.[7] Her relationship with Flynn was the subject of the 2013 movie The Last of Robin Hood, in which Aadland was played by Dakota Fanning.[8]
Personal life
In 1960, William Stanciu, her then boyfriend, died in her apartment after being shot in a struggle between the two.[1] That event led to her being a ward of the court for the following year.[2]
Aadland was married and divorced twice before she married Ronald Fisher in the late 1960s. The couple had a daughter.[1]
Beverly Aadland Fisher died on January 5, 2010, at the Lancaster Community Hospital from complications of diabetes and congestive heart failure. She was 67 years old.[1]
