Requests:  0 Summary:  Howard Hughes was obsessed with sex, power and publicity, and he used his power to trap, abuse, and/or benefit women who dreamt of screen stardom. From promoting bombshells to his contentious battles with the censors, Hughes--perhaps more than any other filmmaker of his era--commoditized male desire as he objectified and sexualized women. Longworth examines women, sex, and male power in Hollywood during its golden age--and shows that the recent scandals are, while nothing new, only a ripple in our culture in general--adapted from jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Biography B Hughes Lo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 791.43023 Hughes Lo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
