New to our Biographies... In '72 Hughes' Corp. built the Glomar Explorer mining/salvage vessel. To build it, a giant crane barge was made by Sun Shipbuilding. It was all a CIA cover, to recover a wrecked Soviet sub. That crane, the Chesapeake 1000, still works today at the MV Dali-shipwrecked Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, MD.

When I was creating a concept trailer for "Used Star", I had used pieces from the trailer of "Rules Don't Apply." I hadn't seen the movie and with the keyword I typed into google, I assumed this would fit into the flow of my own story. Well, I finally found a copy of Disney+ and decided to give it a watch to see if it was like the idea I was trying to come up with. Whay I didn't know is this is semi-based on the life of Howard Hughes; a man in Hollywood, who I've never heard off. I'm so confused on what this is about. Is it supposed to be about a creepy old man trying to "latch" onto the next best young thing or is it about a woman trying to find love or is it about an aspiring actress? Though in all honesty, it quickly became background noise not long after I hit play. #rulesdontapply #howardhughes https://www.instagram.com/p/CngNefJPHy4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

CLIFFORD IRVING

CLIFFORD IRVING

1930-2017

AMERICAN WRITER, FRAUD, WROTE A FAKE AUTOBIOGRAPHY ON HOWARD HUGHES

            In 1972, Clifford managed to convince the American publishing company McGraw-Hill that Howard Hughes, America’s wealthiest man, wanted him to write his autobiography. Clifford’s evidence for this was a letter he claimed that was written by Hughes and said that Hughes sent him audiotapes as well as a manuscript.

            Howard Hughes, was a plane fanatic and one of the richest men in America, he also had been a recluse since 1958 and difficult to be contacted.

            Giving Irving the benefit of the doubt, the publisher’s editors invited Irving to their New York office and produced contracts for both Irving and Hughes to sign. Irving’s friend Richard Suskind forged Hughes’ signature. McGraw-Hill didn’t look into it any further and sent Irving and Hughes cheques, Irving’s wife deposited the checks into a Swiss bank account that she opened under the name ‘Helga R. Hughes’.

            Irving and Suskind got their hands on an unfinished manuscript which was written by Hughes’ former business manager, James Phelan; Phelan had no knowledge of this. Large parts of this manuscript were used for the autobiography and Irving claimed it as his own.

            Irving delivered the completed manuscript to the publishers in 1971, and they planned to publish it a year later.  

            Hughes’ lawyers heard of this and intervened, however; McGraw-Hill continued to trust Irving and believed the writing samples were authentic. Hughes had no choice but to come out of seclusion for two months before the books release date on March 1972. Hughes held a telephone press conference with reporters and denounced the book as fake and McGraw-Hill finally rescinded Irving’s contract.

            The police got involved and instead of going to trial, Irving pled guilty and was ordered to pay back the advance and sentenced to 30 months in penitentiary. He filed for bankruptcy that same year. His wife was sentenced to 2 months imprisonment and Suskind was given 6 months for theft and conspiracy.

            Irving’s story The Hoax was published in 1981 and the film adaption THE HOAX was released in 2006 starring Richard Gere as Irving.

Katharine photographed by Howard Hughes - Some VERY personal & passionate love letters written by Kate as well as this framed photo are being sold from Howard’s personal belongings via Profiles In History. ⁣⁣ ⁣ “Certainly I felt that I was madly in love with him. And I think he felt the same way about me. But when it came right down to “What do we do now?” I went East and he stayed West. We’d been together about three years. Ambition beat love, or was it like?” - KH in ME: STORIES OF MY LIFE ⁣ ⁣⁣ It is known that Howard asked Katharine many times to marry him and although she never agreed to it and the romance fizzled out by the time she met Spencer Tracy, it is extremely fascinating that in one of the handwritten letters she refers to herself as his fiancée! These letters deserve to go to an owner willing to keep them protected. ⁣ ⁣⁣ #howardhughes #katharinehepburn #love #romantic #couple #romance #30s #1930s #profilesinhistory #theaviator #letters #actress #classicfilm #airplane https://www.instagram.com/p/CBo9q7Wn-j7/?igshid=18p9gh0avdgs7

'As a woman who behaved like a woman, it amused her to occupy the austere oak-paneled executive suite once occupied by Joseph Kennedy and Howard Hughes. She gussied it up with large flower patterned furniture in decorator shades of yellow and green and a silver tea service that belonged to her grandmother; and wondered—but not very much—what Joe Kennedy would think of a Capri-clad President having her nails done during a business conference.' article, 'The President Wore A Dress To The Stockholders Meeting', TV Guide, July 1967. #lucilleball #desilu #madamepresident #girlpower #studiohead #stockholders #howardhughes #joekennedy #gussiedup #femininetouch #decorated #ilovelucy #desiluproductions https://www.instagram.com/p/CD4RoCNnu9O/?igshid=1isjhekpqq2df

Fingernail Clippers

I don't know what they're called

in Italian or Russian or Turkish

but I intend to find out.

They are a singular plural

in English.

 A sea creature of lore had a

gigantic, snub-nosed head

and a tapering body. Our

digital blacksmiths hammer

out replicas.

Lever and fulcrum and

paired toothless blades:

the spare architecture

of a specialized tool.

Owing to his mania,

the reclusive billionaire

eschewed clippers and let

his fingernails accrue

like stalactites. They clicked

like scurrying roaches.

Crows and monkeys groom

each other, picking bugs

from feathers and fur. A calm

comes over them as they pick

and peck. Thinking of them,

I clip a thumbnail--hiding,

like them, from hunger and

fear for a moment, attending

silently to a bodily chore.
