This post, on Katharine Hepburn and Howard Hughes, is – by FAR – the most popular post I have ever written. So many people out there searching for information on these two people – in terms of their relationship. It’s obvious why – The Aviator – but still: to see just how many people are out there, Googling the two of them (and it’s the two of them in relation to each other that brings these folks to me) – It’s wild. The Internet is amazing.
So, here’s a wee pictorial tribute:
Gorgeous – huh? The both of them.
The Hepburn/Hughes post is, by far, the most-trafficked post here on my little blog – it even beats out this infamous post – which was getting so many clicks from so many CRAZIES, leaving me absolutely insane comments – that I ended up deleting it from my site altogether – although it must still exist in Google’s memory banks somehow – because still: day after day after feckin’ day, I get 50, 60, 70, 80 clicks a day to that now-nonexistent post. Who knew that the daughter of a dead rock star would be such a hot commodity?
Random only slightly on topic confession: there’s a shopping center along the 405 Freeway with a Howard Hughes mural and another one on the side of a building on Main Street in El Segundo. Every time – and I mean every single time, no matter who I am with – I pass either one of them I yell “Hi Howard!” at the top of my lungs.
Because I’m retarded, that’s why.
