1971 SPECIAL REPORT: "HOWARD HUGHES"

- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2020
- Howard Robard Hughes Jr. (December 24, 1905 - April 5, 1976) was an American business magnate, investor, record-setting pilot, engineer, film director, and philanthropist, known during his lifetime as one of the most financially successful individuals in the world. He first became prominent as a film producer, and then as an influential figure in the aviation industry. Later in life, he became known for his eccentric behavior and reclusive lifestyle-oddities that were caused in part by his worsening obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), chronic pain from a near-fatal plane crash, and increasing deafness.
My great aunt was his personal secretary. Her name was Erma West. I have some amazing photos of her and him and the airplanes.
I'd love to see them if youd like to show them :) I'm fascinated by Howard Hughes
I'm also very interested in Howard Hughes, have a very strong feeling I worked for him in a previous life, even though I was born in 1952. I feel I was an engineer or plane mechanic.
Wow great story !!
Wow now thats amazing, behind every flamboyant billionare their is a secetary that does all the work
@@lindseycarribean5113 They were very good friends actually. I know he was a very privet person, but he was always very kind to her.
That man was legendary.... it is so sad how he ended....
THEY ended him !
You retired FBI agent who was part of an international investigation team documented their findings. What was the well known within the company was his personal physicians and immediate staff were systematically replaced with people outside of the circle. The last 3 years of his life were absolutely terrible the way he was cared for. They now retired FBI agent a few years ago wrote a book about all that they knew and suspected. Eventually this was also taken before a federal court judge in Nevada who believed there was enough substantial evidence to reopen the will. When they did get to court the judge ruled that because it's been well over a decade and the money was literally redistributed not just in the United States but overseas as well there would be no financial benefits or gain to proceed in the civil matter since more than likely the money would be unrecoverable.
If Howard was around today his brilliance and his contribution to modern airlines would be over shadowed. Hed be considered a pedo toxic male bs
I worked at the Silver Slipper as a gaming executive from 1980 to 1986. The Slipper was Hughes personal bank account, and I had a Nevada state gaming license due to the bank issue. I met my wife at the Slipper 43 years ago. What a time.
You probably went inside the Landmark
OMG.. what a privileged once in a lifetime encounter..then you marry for all these years mega congratulations. SILVER 🥿 slippers did FIT the little lady..
@Paleo The Landmark was a strange operation. When it was demolished, it fell the wrong way.
Whoever wrote this report is brilliant.
Hughes was such a mysterious figure, the most eccentric billionaire ever.
Mostly likely very high IQ.. and class eccentric..
There really should be an award for the work you do
RIP
Howard Hughes
(1905-1976)
A tragic, great and brave American. 👍🏽
A idiot more like, what was so brave about a man who was scared to go out the door.
@@mrfugazi6713 he flew his own planes. He wasn't sure if the planes would work or not. He sustained some head injuries because he crash a few times. Probably led to his weird behavior pattern. You don't think it's brave to fly a newly designed plane on a test run?
@@dazzlingurbanite9268 stupidity more like if he’s suffering from head then he should of been looked after, instead of that partly because of America’s politics he was left to be a weirdo
@@mrfugazi6713 So you think it's stupid to test fly a plane that you helped build? He was looked after, btw.
@@dazzlingurbanite9268 to be honest I thought he was a idiot maybe when he was a younger man he was a very intelligent man but has he got older he went weird and most of the people around just exploited him
Incredible man. My hero but sadly his life was dramatically changed from so many head injuries from his plane crashes.
He was perfectly sane before he was called into court and blasted on the national stage for "war profiteering" and other such nonsense by elected people. He became a hermit after that incident.
These same people accused Alcoa, the manufacturer of aluminum, for failing to increase production quickly enough to supply the war demand. But before the war they had gone against Alcoa for being a "monopoly" and growing their aluminum production too fast. Both accusations of opposite blame are printed in the new york times less than ten years apart. If they hadn't shut down Alcoa before the war, then they would have had plenty of aluminum.
He had one plane crash

Wish I got introduced to a today's Howard Hughes, sound like senor Hughes had a pure kindred spirit, and a gold heart xx. If I had a good ol man like this, I'd share the secrets of my soul. Definitely soulmate material xx. ❤️
What do u think of Harvey Weinstein? No doubt Howard Hughes was ten times more perverse than Harvey.
Power of the media and propaganda
Class gentlemen from that time period are far and few. Is why he accomplished the in fathomable ..the real deal..a WINNER .. PROFESSIONAL A WIN WIN WIN ENCOUNTER..for all
The man is a great mystery!!
@@lindseycarribean5113 I mean that shit is mysterious to do!
@@lindseycarribean5113 thanks for the reply 👍!
The only one person to stay in continuous contact with Hughes until 1976/was
Noah Detrich
Noah was fired before that before Bob Maheu came aboard
I think Noah was his real friend but the medications got the best of Hughes and ended up firing him. If Noah had stayed in his life Hughes ending would have been different.
Noah claimed to never speak to Howard after 1957.
@@robertcarly9183 I am sure you are very correct. Hughes would never give Noel a share of his empire, Dietrich never talked to him after 57’. He started to work for Hughes in 1925.
Howard Hughes fired Noah years before his death and even hired the Mormon church to handle his drugs and everything else.
Elvis Presley is listed in my family tree as my 9th cousin! Miss him!
What a man!
To describe that of Hughes from the most brilliant man to insane man and all that in between in words, i don't think is possible.
TV goes off at mindnight - buy the station. (Could had his own projector and film library.)
Muito top
Thanks for all the content
This is great.
Great great archive work.. excellent show... HUGHES surrounded HIMSELF around articulate professionals.. but the other two guys refuse to be interviewed..hum!..HUGHES was a man of HONOR AND WORD which is why he was UNIQUE..
Oh man they were harsh on Las Vegas in that description
Chuckle.. No doubt!
Las Vegas is filled with losers. Gamblers are idiots. Everything is setup to part people from their money. Why do you think the Casinos make so much moola? Even with blackjack, one of the few games where skill is involved, you are not allowed to count cards because this actually gives the punter a chance to win some money. I have never seen the attraction of Vegas, apart from perhaps taking in a live show but you can do that anywhere. There is a certain type of person out there that always thinks they can beat the house but in the long run they never do. Even the high rollers come out losers long term. An old friend of mine said he always won money at casinos. So I said "why dont you quit your job and do it full time then?" He is still working for the man, of course. Like most people he is full of sh.t.
I really would like to watch more Wazee watermarked videos.
My wife worked with a new personally Mahew's son and grandson well we worked at his Aircraft company. Including the grandfather they were all very well respected. Howard Hughes would clearly let you know when you were successful and when there were problems. Bob Mayhew was actually removed by Howard himself with regards to running TWA airlines when Howard owned it but Howard absolutely trusted him.
Mayhew..looked extremely intelligent a class act HIMSELF.. make no mistake
You can tell that was a hot car back in them days
Hot car today!! Mercury Cougar
Yeah that car was pretty sweet. What was that a Torino, or Cougar or something?
Howard Stark
Money attracts danger.
Vast amounts of money attract vast amounts of danger.
his enemies were our very same enemies. The elite! He didn't commit treason by joining their club! He is one of the greatest heros of the good people of the earth!
@@allee190 Yes! He was RIGHT about all of the (mostly Russian-descended) Communist activity. The McCarthy Hearing on anti-American activities was also on point!
Well said.
The water mark right in the middle, really.
Mars good work
he lived in pain, pain meds kept him going, something they never talk about.
R.i.p Uncle Bob
One of the most brilliant men in the last 125 years. He created the technology that we have today.
From aviation, technicolor, and down to the modern day bra. A man with great insight far more then Rockefeller, Carnegie, Woolworth, Ford, Getty and multiple more in that Era.
No one will ever achieve across a multitude of industries that he did.
The torture this man endured within his own mind is that no one should have to endure.
I pray he rest in peace. In a world today of lunacy from Trans, climate change and critical race theory, people would be far better off thinking of those before them. Be like a and make a better place for those we're raising and have raised to achieve not that for themselves but a way of life of morality, common sense and achieving that for others more then yourself.

He was a brilliant man but had too many bad head injuries which exacerbated his OCD. Then of course you have sick ppl taking full advantage of him and that situation
Terry Moore got a settlement in the 1980s. They were allegedly married in Mexico. When he bought the TV station he would show movies he liked and most likely were watching them as they aired.
4:06 ABC! Always be selling. Howard was brilliant
I think he just walked away from the lime light, he was sick of the people treating him badly, he was never in these rooms, there was someone there but they were doubles, men who looked like him, he just wanted a quiet life and just left Hollywood and all that crazy stuff, lots of celebrities go nuts, just look at what happened to Michael Jackson, being famous is not easy anymore.
Actually because of the work that he and his company did he needed to be completely secluded because of industrial, espionage threats. The gas lighting stories that have been put out actually worked in his behalf.
Perhaps one of the Great misnomers is regarding when he purchased RKO studios here in Culver City California. He purchased the studio because he wanted to make the movie hells Angels. Once he was inside the studios he realized that much of the staff were pro Communist party. In just a few weeks after he was able to validate this, he fired 400 people from the studio and in essence had his management team begin rebuilding RKO studios which ultimately became the DesiLu studios yes Ricky and Lucille Ball...... Everyone here in Culver City knew about this as it was pretty much common knowledge. And yes the people who my family knew working at the studios who were fired for absolutely what we would call today as being anti-American. These people actually were pro Russian type promoters who were not just making movies that the American public wanted but were funding some very at best questionable organizations.
Being famous was never easy
Until his last few years he was actively involved in Hughes aircraft company, Hughes tool and Hughes helicopters. A very good friend of our family, a test pilot on one of my dad's Hughes missile programs, was one of his personal pilots...... Barton did that for a few years and went back to being a HAC test pilot with my dad. The reason, he now had a wife, 2 kids and needed more stable work hours. I remember him telling us one time, because of the industrial and state espionage threat, that Howard would give him the flight to be filled then once they were out of LAX air traffic control Howard would give him a new flight plan. Barton was not allowed to contact anyone and typically didn't know when they would be returning home.

Sounds like a cia cut-out from the beginning 🤔
What is up with the awful watermark?
Is that a young Morley Safer?
Read the book: "Mormon Spies, Hughes and the C.I.A." by Tanner
Yes...very interesting how the MORMONS took over his affairs. Is that why they are all so rich and powerful today?
Will look it up !!!!🤗🇬🇧
He was a man take him for all in all we shall not look upon his like again .
Howard was wealthy when money was worth something.
Hughes Tool gave him the cash flow he needed for all of his projects. The Mormons got involved in his life and convinced him to sell the company and he regretted it leading to a depression. The rest of his assets ended up in a holding company known as Summa Corporation.
Cougar XR 7 Convertible
Literally brand new, too. This was filmed in late 1970....and that's a 71 he's driving.
This must have been not too long before the Clifford Irving book scandal hit.
What car is that convertible
@Dean Wright Mercury Cougar .
My grandfather was George M Hughes, he founded Hughes Tool and Die, people would confuse the two companies , Howards company was simply Hughes Tool, oil drilling equipment
Is this true, what you say, you are part of the family? That is wild, would love to hear more stories. Who was George?, his father?, brother?
@@chriss8970 George Hughes was not related to Howard Hughes or their businesses
@@chriss8970 you are quite stupid
@@chriss8970 Howard Hughes did not have any siblings. Any aunts and uncles were bought out of the business, soon after Howard Sr died. Only a few relatives were at his funeral, an aunt, Annette Lummis, and her son, Howard’s cousin, William Rice Lummis , an attorney, who I believe was the executor of his estate. Which took about 14 years to dissolved.
@@johnheinrich6907 ok, thanks for the information. His whole story is just soo soo interesting.
I read where HH was a Strange dude..
Cia propaganda to cover a cutout
Was an a genius that bordered on insanity; his untreated OCD became worse with age; his paranoia was justified because he was the object of constant FBI surveillance, lawyers were always trying to serve him with legal documents, he was worth $2 billion in 1971 and everyone one wanted a piece of his empire!
Referring to Las Vegas as a prostitute is hilarious😂
Tony Stark
IronMan was based off of the dude
Really?
@@PortraitofAsha yep
You are a very sad person so negative and can't see good ever. I will pray for you only God can help you. You are way worse than this great man, what have you done to make the world better or let a lone better. You need to stop seeing only the bad in life and are blind to the good. You are like many people I have known that would say this. If I would give you $1,000,000 in gold you would say don't you have something that is not so heavy.................................. think about how you look at life now and stop and think about how much happier you will be by thinking and seeing good and stop only seeing and thinking bad. I guarantee you will have a better and happier life.
@@jimhayes7594 not sure what your deal is but after seeing your posts in multiple comment sections you seem to have some real issues. There wasn't a comment in this thread that had anything to do with what your response was, you seem to be searching for people to attack and miss understand comments as negative towards Hughes when they are not.
Howard Hughes didn't fire me, but after my half million dollar salery disappeared I became quite curious
Turns out he was in the Bahamas.
Was radio stations cheaper to buy than tv stations
MR.HOUSE
Why are the folks not looking into there eyes! Hmmmm
I took TWA from the east to Las Vegas in 1994 I wouldn't swap Pan Am if they paid me
Howard sold his interest in TWA in 1966.
They seem nervous
On yes the Great 60 Minutes
well... tut, tut, tut
“Damn” What an offensive word
Gee, sixty minutes is so paranoid?
The Hughes estate was willed to
to Loomis family of Houston
Interesting. What was the connection?
@@chriss8970
Cosin
@@chriss8970 Hughes was born in Houston Texas, his aunt, Annette Lummis and her son, Howard’s cousin, Fred, both still lived in Houston, were appointed executors of his estate, because Hughes didn’t have a will. I believe it took 14 years to settle his estate, and I believe he had about 16 relatives, a few in California, most in Texas, were the declared heirs.
@@johnheinrich6907 ok thanks for all the info. His whole story is so very interesting.
@@chriss8970 the best book I’ve read about Hughes, and you can still buy it online, is, Empire, the life, legend, and madness, of Howard Hughes. Written By Bartlett and Steele.
180 Degree turn around Now
WhT was the experience of your espionage tactics compared to the cist of a croissant i
5-26-2024 The Howard Hughes Medical Institute is worth $23 Billion Dollars.
Siunds like a cult
They must gave him ‘aids’
Get off my phone
Did he had mental illness from brain injuries
Yes from several plane crashes. The crash of the XF 11 in particular really changed him. Combined with pain killer abuse and existing mental illness. Hughes was in a bad way most of his life
@@funtimes7757 I know a friend who dated a guy like Howard, Capricorn, multi millionaire. He suffered OCD about wiping water off the basin and don't like going much but watch tv and movies alot. He didn't get a head injury tho. He was into fitness and was very controlling and paranoid
@@funtimes7757but still sharp as hell i wonder how much further he wouldve gone had he not the issues he had
The original Elon Musk🤣
Don't insult Hughes...
@@johnqpublic770 Certainly was not my intention. But, witness how Elon will go from Hero to Zero by those that think they rule this world. They eat their own.
Fuckkk that Musk was a cuck and Hughes is a true sigma !!!
Howard Hughes investments in Las Vegas were most or all money losers. When it came to aviation, dating hollywood movie starlets and even making some movies he was the best but in some areas he was not the best but managed to maintain a high public image😐
Howard Hughes is my cousin.
