Howard Hughes
Born on Christmas Eve 1905 in Houston, Texas, Howard Hughes was one of 20th-century America's most extraordinary multi-industry magnates, spanning aviation, film, and casino real estate. He set world speed records at the controls of his own aircraft, produced blockbuster films in Hollywood, and in his later years built a casino and real-estate empire in Las Vegas. He lived both extremes of fortune and isolation, embodying the glory and the deep shadow that capitalism can produce.
