As part of his reclusiveness and his wealth, the hotel changed the elevator floor signaling device to indicate the absence of the top floor the 12th floor, as I recall. I saw him at a distance once there with his amanuensis who handled all his daily monetary transactions, such as buying groceries. I remember that it was said of him at that time, that, like modern day Howie Mandell, Hughes rigorously avoided any and all physical contact with others … a very strange man!
He was very handsome man in his youth — later his face change — he had this strange, demonic look. He was in a life-altering crash while testing one of his planes amazing he survived at all. His face and body were not only broken up but crushed. I am related to Howard Hughes on my grandmothers side. I see so many traits in my family that are similar to many of these stated. Which traits are those that your family possess? A lot of you live in motels?
Addicted to drugs? Rotten teeth? You are racist? Some of you are billionaires? I for one have that trait because people are rude and inconsiderate. Did you get estate money after his death?
Tough break kid. He was one of the greatest men who ever lived. You are so right!! He was a smart, great, amazing man that changed the world! Be proud for all the great things he did!!! You should be proud to be a part of that heritage!! If that were true he would have been broke a lot sooner.
Funny they were very closely associated with him for years yet Hughes never proclaimed to be Mormon. Both were debunked as just that, rumors. You may want to put a little back round search in before you speak so as not to appear to be so ignorant….
I use to work for him at both his airlines. He was not Mormon he hated religion. Would welcome it with open arms considering he all but screwed the workers of Atlantic City. Go figure…….. Approx Two years earlier, my cousin who was the reigning Orange County Fair Queen, was picked up by Hughes Productions to become the last young girlfriend of Hughes.
Whenever a tv show is doing a story on Hughes, she is always interviewed. Of course she was the youngest, others that were close to him have passed on.
He always provided drivers to pickup her family to visit her in LA. They were all Mormons. I believe that the Mormons were chosen because they were suspised to be non drinkers and he thought he could trust them. The story goes on…. Howard Hughes is still fascinating to this day, most of what he did was actually no ones business..
But I do like his over the top antics…. What a guy, a pioneer way ahead of his time, an inspiration. They say genius borders on madness. Still, Hughes built a legacy that long outlasted him. Who is behind this man, the myth, and legend? How did he acquire so much money and become such an iconic character.
The elder Hughes founded the Hughes Tool Company, which invented the rotary tri-cone rock bit used to drill for oil during the Texas Oil Boom of the early 20th Century.
