| Howard Hughes, eccentric billionaire, aviator, movie mogul, and ladies` man, was one of Hollywood`s most fascinating players. Head of RKO pictures in its prime, Hughes was once just about the most powerful man in Hollywood, as well as the head of Hughes Aircraft Company, where he was determined to build the world`s greatest aircraft. As a film producer, Hughes revolutionized the industry by almost single-handedly creating the notion of the blockbuster and he bedded hundreds of stars and starlets alike. Yet, for all his success, Hughes was painfully shy, and is best remembered as the psychotic recluse he came to be later in his life. This is the story of Hughes`s amazing years in Hollywood. |
