Howard Hughes


I had no idea that Jean Simmons' film career was hampered/sabotaged by movie mogul Howard Hughes. Apparently she turned him down after her propositioned her, and being a man with a fragile ego, he made her suffer. He cast her in crappy B-movies so that she never got offered the juicy roles like the female lead in Roman Holiday.

Well, she apparently wasn't interested in his Roman fingers or Russian hands.
