"No TV movies or movie sequels."
Wasn't there two or three theatrical movies with Howard Hughes?

reply

OK, I will fix

reply

The Aviator only shows Hughes being a crazy recluse for a short time, and I don't think it shows Hughes in the last years of his life, so I will think of something else. But Tommy Lee Jones was good.

reply

Mary Steenbergen won an Academy award for a movie with Howard Hughes dressed like a bum, who encounters the character played by Paul Lemat.

reply

Melvin and Howard, I'm just not sure how much of a major character Hughes is in that film (portrayed by Jason Robards)

reply

He wasn't in it very long, but his character drove the story to the end. So it's acceptable. I used it for Stonekeeper game #1681.

OK
