'The Aviator' movie with Leonardo DiCaprio as bizarre billionaire Howard Hughes: Bloated biopic. 'The Aviator' movie review: What's not good for the Spruce Goose… Imagine Citizen Kane directed by the Steven Spielberg of The Color Purple, Schindler's List, Amistad, and Saving Private Ryan. The final result would look something like a Barry Levinson film – for instance, the superficial and phony Bugsy. Or, an even more appropriate example, the superficial, phony, and bloated The Aviator. Except, of course, that Levinson is not the man responsible for the 2004 mega-production starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the eccentric, billionaire ladies' man Howard Hughes. Strangely enough, that man is Martin Scorsese, the director of hard-hitting films such as Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, and Gangs of New York. Scorsese, a fan of Old Hollywood, apparently wanted to have some fun with the reported $110 million budget (approx. $138 million in 2016) made available to him.

Or rather, movies -- whether big-screen or made-for-television efforts -- featuring the visionary, eccentric, hypochondriac, compulsive-obsessive, all-American billionaire as a character? Besides Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays a dashing if somewhat unbalanced Hughes in Martin Scorsese's 2004 Best Picture Academy Award-nominated The Aviator, other actors who have played Howard Hughes on film include the following: Tommy Lee Jones in William A. Graham's television movie The Amazing Howard Hughes (1977), with Lee Purcell as silent film star Billie Dove, Tovah Feldshuh as Katharine Hepburn,...

When I wrote last month about an unexpected encounter at the Television Critics Association Summer Tour with Laura Linney, the star of Showtime's The Big C, I said that she wasn't just the nicest celebrity I'd ever met, but quite possibly one of the nicest people I'd ever met.

After all, when she noticed me standing by myself waiting to interview someone else (something Linney didn't know), she first waved hello at me and then pulled me into the conversation she was having with friends. When I introduced myself and said I edited a site for gay and bisexual men, Linney grinned widely and exclaimed, "My people!"

Trust me, this is not normal celebrity behavior in Hollywood.

Given that I met her at a press event, the possibility wasn't lost on me that, as nice as Linney might be in her personal life, perhaps she was performing a bit as well.
