It's a troubled film, much like the man himself, but I think it's actually on the better side of things. • ------------------------------------------------------------ • Connected videos: • Bugsy: • Bugsy | Based on a True Story • Las Vegas history: • The History of Las Vegas, Nevada (fea... • limits of film accuracy: • Things Movies Cannot do Accurately • limits of film accuracy: • Things Movies Cannot do Accurately • ------------------------------------------------------------ • References: • Donald L.

It stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes, Cate Blanchett as Katharine Hepburn, and Kate Beckinsale as Ava Gardner. The supporting cast features Ian Holm, John C. Reilly, Alec Baldwin, Jude Law as Errol Flynn, Gwen Stefani as Jean Harlow, Kelli Garner as Faith Domergue, Matt Ross, Willem Dafoe, Alan Alda, and Edward Herrmann. • Howard Robard Hughes Jr. (September 24, 1905 – April 5, 1976) was an American business magnate, investor, record-setting pilot, engineer,[4] film director, and philanthropist, known during his lifetime as one of the most financially successful individuals in the world. He first became prominent as a film producer, and then as an influential figure in the aviation industry. Later in life, he became known for his eccentric behavior and reclusive lifestyle—oddities that were caused in part by his worsening obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), chronic pain from a near-fatal plane crash, and increasing deafness. • ------------------------------------------------------------ • Hashtags: #history #Aviator #HowardHughes #review #BasedOnATrueStory
