Fabled billionaire Industrialist, filmmaker, and aviator (1905–1976) who takes a place among the most colorful personalities of the twentieth century. Known as much for his prolific womanizing (his romantic partners included screen legends Jean Harlow and Katharine Hepburn, among others) as for his record-setting aviation exploits and business acumen, Hughes settled into reclusiveness in his final decades, disappearing from view and seeking refuge in closely guarded havens in Las Vegas, the Bahamas, and elsewhere. His enigmatic persona has remained an evergreen source of fascination more than a quarter century after his death, as evidenced by the fictional portrayals of him in the Oscar-winning films Melvin and Howard (1980) and The Aviator (2004). Vintage ink signature, “Best wishes, Howard Hughes,” on an off-white 4.75 x 2 slip. Double matted and framed with a portrait of Hughes exiting an airplane, to an overall size of 10.75 x 16. Moderate uniform toning, a bit heavier along bottom, and a few wrinkles and creases, otherwise fine condition. Hughes’s signature is exceptionally large and bold. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
