Howard Hughes was larger than life. His legendary achievements as a record-setting aviator, movie mogul, airline executive and hotel owner - even his celebrated failures - ensure his place in history as one of the giants of the 20th century.
With her collaborator Jerry Rivers, film star Terry Moore, Hughes' former wife, brings to life the secret side of this very public man in The Passions of Howard Hughes. For years his closest confidante, she recounts their astonishing conversations and the true stories of his amorous adventures with everyone from Ava Gardner and Rita Hayworth to Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis and Marilyn Monroe. This revealing personal journal reads like a steamy romance novel - only it's all true!
It is also the gripping tale of Hughes' other consuming passions: planes and power politics, from his first daredevil flying adventures to his equally daring exploits as a wheeler-dealer behind the scenes in Las Vegas and his international undercover work for the U.S. government. And it's all interwoven with the tragic story of Hughes' final years of self-imposed confinement as a drug-addicted prisoner of his own guards and their greedy keepers in a conspiracy to take over his far-flung corporate empire.
