Dead Famous
S03:E01 - Howard Hughes
S03:É01 - S03:E01 - Howard Hughes
The world's most famous recluse wasn't all that keen on appearing for the cameras while he was alive, so what chance might there be of him granting a posthumous interview to Dead Famous? Undaunted as ever, sceptic Gail Porter and sensitive Chris Fleming try to track down the film director, aviator and bashful billionaire in the places where he lived, worked and occasionally crashed his aircraft in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Could he be hiding in his old office in what is now the Playa Vista Film Studios in LA? Is he resting at the historic hotel where he recuperated after his plane crashed? Or could he be eavesdropping while we interview the man who acted as his face to the world for the last, utterly bizarre years of his life? We leave no stone unturned as we try to tempt the tycoon back for one last meeting... but will we bring out the coward in Howard?
