Writing process
The original publisher, Putnam paid an advance of $9,000 to Flynn for the rights of his autobiography.
Ghostwriter Earl Conrad was sent to Flynn's home in Jamaica to collaborate with the actor throughout the writing period. According to Beverly Aadland, Flynn's teenage girlfriend, Conrad was usually drunk and spent most of his time chasing Jamaican women.
Aadland also claims that she and Flynn had difficulty removing him: "He was basically a doorstop with paid vacation".[4]Jeff
