Howard Hughes & Ava Gardner
COMING SOON!
The reclusive billionaire and the Hollywood star. He showered her with gifts but money couldn't buy Sinatra's future wife. A rocky romance indeed.



Howard Hughes
born: 24-12-1905
birth place: Texas, USA
died: 05-04-1976

In preparation for a 1938 flight, Hughes had thousands of Ping-Pong balls stuffed in a compartment of his plane because he believed it would keep it afloat in water.

He was obsessed with breasts. He designed a special halfcup bra for Jane Russell during the filming of ‘The Outlaw’ to give the busty starlet a ‘braless’ look.

When dining out, Howard always ordered: steak, potatoes and peas. But he carried a special utensil, which resembled a tiny rake, to remove the littlest peas.

Howard became so afraid of germs he wouldn’t let anyone touch the knobs of his TV. Later, he became convinced that the tube emitted germ-filled rays.
