Arnella Flynn

Arnella Roma Flynn was born Christmas day 1953 in Rome, Italy to actor Errol Flynn and his wife, actress Patrice Wymore. She spent her earliest years traversing the globe and sailing with her parents. Having settled with her mom in Hollywood, her father died shortly before her 6th birthday. At the age of 14 Arnella and her mother moved to the family estate in Jamaica, a 3,000 acre working coconut farm and cattle ranch. Having developed a fondness for the sea early in life, Arnella enjoyed water skiing and boating. In her late teens, Arnella moved to London and began a modeling career. While in London, she was reunited with her sister Rory who was also modeling at the time and they became quite close. She eventually moved to New York and continued modeling, she married fashion photographer Carl Stoecker and in 1976, they had a son, Luke. Arnella traveled extensively throughout her life but always longed for the tranquility of the West Indies. In 1995 she moved back to Jamaica and made it her permanent home.
