An Original Vintage 7 1/4" x 9" [18 x 23 cm] News Photo (Learn More)

Howard Hughes was the director/producer/businessman/aviator (he was nicknamed "The World's Greatest Womanizer") known for his casinos, his strange behavior, and for his airplane Hercules (nicknamed "The Spruce Goose"). He produced several movies including the classics Scarface, Hell's Angels, His Kind of Woman, and The Outlaw. Entire books can and have been written about his life beyond the movies that he made, but he was a world champion aviator, setting both the speed record for an airplane in 1937, and in 1938 setting the fastest around-the-world flight record! AND Ava Gardner was an actress from the 1940s to the 1980s. Surprisingly, Hollywood did not recognize the talents of this beautiful actress for years, because she had a long string of tiny or uncredited roles before she became a star! Some of her movies include: Mogambo (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), The Killers, On the Beach, The Barefoot Contessa, Bhowani Junction, and many others! She was married three times to famous celebrities Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw, and Frank Sinatra.
Important Added Info: Note that this great news photo was printed in 1954 and was showing Hughes and Gardner from eight years before (see below). The photo is of Howard Hughes and Ava Gardner at ringside in Yankee Stadium watching Joe Louis K.O. Tami Mauriello. The still has a 1954 date stamp on the back. We can understand why people would use this wonderful photo again! Bear in mind that it is from 1954, and NOT from 1946. Also note that this news photo measures 7 1/4" x 9" [18 x 23 cm].

Condition: good to very good. There are varying amounts of surface paper loss each blank corner, with a few faint creases around the edges.
