Hughes-Hepburn love telegrams go for auction

Twenty-two telegrams Howard Hughes sent to Katharine Hepburn during their brief romance in the late 1930s are to be put up for auction.

Dallas-based Heritage-Slater Americana is holding the auction of items associated with the reclusive billionaire, whose life of designing and flying planes and producing movies was dramatised in 2004’s The Aviator, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Hughes.
