A merit that Howard Hughes never was given, was the fact that not only he contributed in a tremendous way to the aviation Industry, as well as to the Film industry, but he also had many other businesses and companies such as the Hughe Tools which manufactured many of the tools we use today to repair things. But also, he was a real actor as well, people say he had a gift for acting that he never intended to make a big deal out of it. Rumors say, however, that he was planning on producing and acting in a film about a romance in between air wars. Who knows if he could've been a big influence in the acting world. Sometimes you're not aware of certain gifts that you have, just because the opportunity of knowing it never showed up  in your life.
