Hughes was more than rich and famous. He had crippling OCD and probably some other severe neuroses. Didn’t you see “The Aviator”?

Yes, I get all my information from Leonardo DiCaprio movies; how did you know?

The point I was making - as someone who has had a fascination with Hughes since the 1970s - is that he was not treated properly by doctors because of his mental illness and wealth and strong personality which defied any and all interventions. I don’t believe he was ever evaluated by a psychiatrist but was constantly given drugs by flunkie Dr. Feelgoods. Even Jean Peters, who on occasion, in complete despair, would invade his rooms at the Beverly Hill Hotel and beg him to seek decent medical care.

Rich people are different than you and me. Well, me, anyway.
