A minor obsession with Howard Hughes

by Lara on May 23rd, 2008

I don’t know why, but I’ve always been oddly interested in Howard Hughes and his life story. So when The Aviator came out in 2004, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, I was in heaven.

I love bio flicks like this in general, like Ray and Walk The Line, but I don’t know what it is about the story of Howard Hughes that thrills me. I mean, the man was kind of a jerk, he was a womanizer, and phobias, compulsions, and self-inflicted solitary confinement took him through to the end of his life. Seriously, who else finds that fascinating? LOL

Of course, I’d love to get deeper into this obsession of mine, but I fear that you, my dear readers, might be frightened of me and never return to the site. LOL

Anyone else find his life story as fascinating as I do? (Please say yes.)
