very true about that. he was also a racist. but the movie is somewhat similar to his life
shareA lot of people in that generation were.
He claimed it was Bill Lear but is based on HH-its not even thinly disguised. Otherwise the protagonist would have been in airplanes and sound/music (8 rack) business instead of film.
As a renaissance chick, I paint, write, and sing loudly off-key.
Conceive Deceive or Leave
The author of the book supposedly based it on Huges, but from what we know about Huges now, the only simularities between the book/movie character and Huges was that they were both into making movies and airplanes. The rest is filled in by the author's imagination, PURE FICTION. Back in the early 1960's when the book was written, there was no understanding of the compulsive/obsessive disorder in which Huges suffered.
