Inheriting his father's company at age 18, he showed remarkable investment ability throughout his life. Hughes produced several films in the 1920s and 1930s, and gained the reputation of being both a man of mystery and a womanizer. He was rumored to have been engaged to Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner, and Ginger Rogers; and many starlets on his payroll never actually appeared in his movies. 8565 Hughes's other love was aviation - in the late 1930s he broke most of the world's airplane records. Then in 1946, while testing an XF-11 photo-reconnaissance plane, he crashed, sustaining severe injuries. Although Howard Hughes, industrialist, Hughes continued to head his business empire, aviator, film producer, and director, he became ever more reclusive - eventually 1905-76 hiding himself away in a Las Vegas hotel, seeing no one but his five Mormon male nurses. His behavior became increasingly eccentric, and he developed obsessions with hygiene and infection. CHRONOLOGY
