Last nite after watching Leonardo decaprio playing howard hughes, my brother told me his babyface not suitable for playing howard hughes.Leo acting has improved since Titanic but howard maturity as an aviator and tycoon eludes him maybe if Leo hits 40's perhaps more suitable...
Ok Coming back to hughes, the guy has royal bloodline descended from Owen Tudor, second husband of catherine of Valois dowager Queen of england ..
Sad that the movie ends with young howard in the restroom suffering from compulsive disorder .He died a recluse without any children in 1976.
Why I think he's cool? He inherited a fortune from his father oil drilling business but chose to go into showbiz and airline business to make a name for himself risking his entire wealth and reputation...dated hollywood classy actress in the golden age like ava and katherine hepburn.He lived an exciting life flying planes he make unfortunatedly he's an unhappy man plaqued by mental illness.
