Product Description:

His wealth was legendary. His passions were bizarre. Now, the truth about the money, the madness, and the man behind the enigma.

Howard Hughes is one of the best known and least understood men of our times--famed for his wealth, his daring, and his descent into madness. Bestselling biographer Charles Higham goes beyond the enigma to reveal the incredible private life of Howard Hughes:

* his romances with the great stars of Hollywood--Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Cary Grant, Tyrone Power, and numerous others
* his forays into sadomasochism
* his involvement with Richard Nixon and Watergate
* his bizarre final years

This is a compelling portrait of a unique American figure--in a story as revealing as it is unforgettable.

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - Very Unsympathetic and slanted The Aviator is one of my favorite movies, and is why I was drawn to this book. But here in the book the author quickly goes over all the most important issues from the movie in very small detail. Very little was said about Howard Hughes at the Congressional hearings. Which was the most dramatic part of the movie. Also the book only briefly talked about the Hercules and TWA, when both where major parts of the movie. Toward the end of the book in Howard's recluse days, the book sometime spends more time talking about other people other than Hughes for long stretches. Highman never really backed up his conclusion that Hughes had AIDs and because of the disease he died. The other main complaint I have with the biography is that Highman usually wrote about Hughes's actions as if he was in complete control of his feelings, especially in his recluse years. He made Hughes seem more of a monster and less of a sympathetic tragic human being. The sympathy Scorsese displayed for Hughes was why the movie was so great. Most of the rest of the book when not condemning Hughes for his actions, and only praising him of his shrewd business transactions, was full of gossip. The gossip was almost always about which actors in hollywood were gay. The book was very interesting to read, mainly for my fascination of Howard Hughes, but I'm sure there are better biographies than this one. + See Full Customer Review
