- Synopsis:
You may think you know about Howard Hughes. How he was once hailed as the world's greatest flyer, how he owned three airlines, a major motion picture studio, gambling casinos, hotels in Las Vegas and much more. But there was a very private, passionate and cleverly deceitful side to Hughes - one he exposed to only a chosen few, the women he had known and loved. Guided by his ex-wife, Hollywood movie legend Terry Moore, 'The Passions of Howard Hughes' takes us on a revealing journey through feverish interludes, enduring relationships and cunning infidelities. Terry visits those who knew him, trading stories and telling secrets - revealing how he was arguably the most secretive, lustful and self-destructive man in history. The many stunning women in Hughes' life included such dazzling luminaries as...Marilyn Monroe, Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner, Ginger Rogers, Jane Russell, Janet Leigh, Kathryn Grayson, Mamie Van Doren, Lana Turner, Olivia de Havilland, Bette Davis, Joan Fontaine, Jean Peters and more. 'The Passions of Howard Hughes' is a fascinating look at how power, possessions and personality created a lifetime of passionate affairs with the most desirable women in the world. Terry Moore made her first film at age eleven and has since starred in over sixty films. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Come Back Little Sheba in 1952. While in her teens, Terry was the number one cover girl in the world with over forty magazine covers in one year. Moore was secretly wed to Howard Hughes in 1949. She sued Hughes's estate for part of his will, and finally was given an undisclosed sum in an out-of-court settlement.
