About Me

Aviator. Inventor. Film Producer. Eccentric. Perfectionist. Recluse. Billionaire. Avid and daring pilot. OCD. Using a minimum of 15 Kleenexes to turn a doorknob. Exact, explicit instructions of detail in memos to my staff that must be carried out in its entirety with precision, or else it will have to be repeated from the beginning. Burning all my clothes and bedlinens. Syphilis...too many damn women, I guess. Staying awake for unreasonable hours. Milk. Milk bars need to make a come back. The Hercules, goddamnit! You know, skyscraper airplanes. Buying Las Vegas from the Mafia. You know the drill.

Aviation, producing and directing films, golf, the Kentucky Derby, perfect clouds, hitch hiking, my white tennis shoes, yellow legal tablets, sanitation, science, the H-1, the H-4, the XF-11, the HK-1, Hughes Tool, Hughes Aircraft, RKO, TWA, women, milk, goddamnit...
