On savait déjà avec quelle audace Howard Hughes avait construit son empire jusqu'à devenir milliardaire mais, pour la première fois, nous est révélée dans cette biographie la vie secrète du producteur le plus controversé d'Hollywood : sa relation incestueuse avec son oncle alors qu'il est adolescent, ses liaisons homosexuelles avec des acteurs célèbres comme Cary Grant et Tyrone Power, ses tendances sado-masochistes et son goût pour les boîtes de travestis, ses aventures avec les plus belles actrices d'Hollywood - Ginger Rogers, Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner, Bette Davis... Charles Higham trace le portrait émouvant d'un être trouble, déchiré entre son homosexualité - jusqu'ici demeurée secrète - et son amour des femmes, mais dénonce aussi avec lucidité les excès d'un homme antisémite et anticommuniste qui particpa à la chasse aux sorcières de McCarthy, acheta Richard Nixon comme il avait acheté Las Vegas, et fut impliqué dans le scandale du Watergate. Enfin Charles Higham suggère, en s'appuyant sur des éléments inédits très convaincants, qu'Howard Hughes (mort en 1976 à 70 ans) fut sans doute l'une des premières victimes du sida. Une biographie unique et impitoyable, d'une sincérité totale, très bien documentée et menée à un train d'enfer. Un document irremplaçable qui se lit comme un thriller.

An exploration of "Hollywood's glamorous golden age via the cinematic life of Howard Hughes and the women who encountered him--sometimes at the expense of their minds and souls"--Dust jacket flap. Howard Hughes was obsessed with sex, power and publicity, and he used his power to trap, abuse, and/or benefit women who dreamt of screen stardom. From promoting bombshells to his contentious battles with the censors, Hughes-- perhaps more than any other filmmaker of his era-- commoditized male desire as he objectified and sexualized women. Longworth examines women, sex, and male power in Hollywood during its golden age-- and shows that the recent scandals are, while nothing new, only a ripple in our culture in general. -- adapted from jacket

"Howard Hughes chronicles the life and legacies of one of the most intriguing and accomplished Americans of the twentieth century. Hughes made big-budget movies, built the world's fastest and largest airplanes, and helped transform and grow Las Vegas. He was a respected trailblazer and firebrand, but behind the facade his physical and mental health declined to the point of incapacitation. This book takes you behind the curtain to understand what really happened to Howard Hughes and what he has left behind"--
