The best actor award will go to Jamie Foxx who is incredible as Ray Charles. Look for Geoffery Rush as Peter Sellars on HBO next month and Spacey as Bobby Darrin also. I love bio pics and can't get enough. Spacey should also do Johnny Carson and Jack Benny. He's a natural for both.
One of my all time favorites Gary Busey as Buddy Holly.
Hughes liked Baskin Robbins ice cream and preferred Banana Nut. His guys had to go down to the store regularly and get 5 gallons. BR used to post the flavors coming "next month" and those that were "leaving."
During one trip to the store, the guys noticed Banana Nut was leaving. They started to panic and were going to call the company and make some arrangements, just as Howard, unexplainable switched to another flavor.
OK one more. Hughes bought two hotel/casinos in Vegas. The mafia started to feel encroached upon so they sent two "representativs" to tell Hughes that two was enough. He told them f$#k you! Eventually bought two or three more. When you have DOD and CIA backing you can even tell the mafia where to go.
