	Howard Hughes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hughes became addicted to codeine (injections), valium, and other painkillers, was extremely frail, stored his urine in jars and wore Kleenex boxes as shoes (although it has been reported that Hughes did this only once, as "protection" when a toilet flooded).
		Hughes had contracted syphilis as a young man, and much of the strange behavior at the end of his life has been attributed by modern biographers to the tertiary stage of that disease.
		Howard Hughes is interred in the Glenwood Cemetery in Houston, Texas.

		Howard Robard Hughes, Jr., was born on December 24, 1905, to Allene and Howard Sr, at 1402 Crawford Street, Houston, Texas.
		Hughes had said during this time that surveys showed Las Vegas had to choose between spending $25 million to enlarge McCarran Field which he felt was being choked off by the expanding metropolis, or build a new giant airport that would serve as a supersonic jet terminal for all southern Nevada,California and Arizona.
		Hughes' other concern was for his employees at the casinos including cocktails waitresses, card dealers, busboys, chambermaids, stagehands and bartenders who were being paid through his Hughes Tool Co. He wanted to make sure they were being well fed and that they had at least one good meal while on shift.

	Howard Hughes put his fortune on the line for films (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Before he became the freaky hermit with long hair and fingernails, Howard Hughes was one of the most colorful personalities ever in show business, a maverick who was among the first to challenge the supremacy of studio moguls and the industry's restrictive moral codes.
		Hollywood itself has had the occasional fixation over Hughes with such projects as "The Amazing Howard Hughes," a TV biography starring Tommy Lee Jones, and Jonathan Demme's offbeat "Melvin and Howard," about a luckless man who claims he gave hitchhiker Hughes (Jason Robards) a lift and subsequently was left a fortune by the recluse.
		Howard Hughes' love of aviation was matched by his fervor for Hollywood, where he used his fortune to make multimillion-dollar movies.

	dOc DVD Review: The Amazing Howard Hughes (1977) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The only thing "amazing" about The Amazing Howard Hughes, the 1977 miniseries produced to cash in on the notoriously elusive, reclusive hypochondriac's recent death, is that it turns the life of a fascinating man into little more than a dry history lesson.
		Hughes story has certainly been captured better elsewhere, particularly in his brief appearance in Tucker: The Man and His Dream.
		There's a momentary flash of Hughes' childhood, which may have been fleshed out in the unedited version, in which the seeds of his interest in aviation are shown, but it's hardly a "Rosebud" setup, and the film jumps ahead very quickly to his father's death and his inheritance of the family fortune.

		Hughes, aside from being head of Rko Pictures was a noted flyer, entrepreneur and lover of some of Hollywood's most glamorous women, including Gardner and Katharine Hepburn.
		The Hughes story "has a name-recognition factor," he admits, "unlike the Gangs story, which is is just a fictional account...and having Leo playing Hughes helps...but this is a period that's not very interesting to people these days." Not to his thirty-something Hollywood peers, he meant.

		Howard Hughes, aviation pioneer, filmmaker, poster boy for Eccentrics 'R Us, has been portrayed on film several times, most notably by Jason Robards in
		The film traces Hughes' life from an ambitious but spoiled rich kid in Texas to his final days sporting Fu Manchu fingernails and hotel-hopping from Vegas to Acapulco, trying to stay one step ahead of the microscopic germs he was so deathly afraid of.
		And while Jones does bear a striking physical similarity to Hughes for much of the film, the old age makeup he's forced to wear later turns his head into a wax sculpture.
