EXCLUSIVE: Oscar-nominated actress Terry Moore, one of the last surviving stars of Hollywood’s golden age, is prepared to tell her story for an upcoming documentary, including her romance with Howard Hughes.
Filmmaker Vladislav Alex Kozlov has secured Moore’s life rights for the documentary titled Beautiful Dreamer. Kozlov began shooting material for the nonfiction project while working with the actress on their narrative feature Silent Life: The Story of the Lady in Black, which premiered earlier this year at the Sedona International Film Festival.
“Beautiful Dreamer will reveal the true story behind her mentally abusive relationship with Howard Hughes,” a release about the project notes. “The documentary will recount the dark side of that romance and how he destroyed both her personal life and her career.”
Moore starred in 1949’s Mighty Joe Young, Peyton Place in 1957, and earned her Oscar nomination for 1952’s Come Back, Little Sheba. She met Hughes in the late 1940s while still in her teens; he was then well into his 40s. She describes the aviation pioneer and motion picture studio owner, who died in 1976, as her first love. But in an interview with People magazine in April, she characterized their romantic relationship as “very complicated.”
She said of Hughes, “He was the most charming man you could ever find. He was also a liar. And he did unthinkable things. He did so many things that hurt me. Was he cruel? I guess you could say he was cruel but I didn’t know that he was cruel. He was just too much for me to handle. I was too naive.”
Moore, 94, says she and Hughes were married in 1949 in a ceremony that took place at sea in international waters, but the marriage was never legally recognized. After his death,

Zack Sharf Digital News Director While “Oppenheimer” has been touted as Christopher Nolan’s first biopic, that’s not necessarily true. It’s only the director’s first biopic to hit the big screen. Decades ago, Nolan wrote the screenplay for a biopic about aviator and business tycoon Howard Hughes, but the project never took flight because Martin Scorsese’s “The Aviator,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Hughes, beat him to it. Nolan told The Daily Beast in 2007 that his Hughes biopic was the best script he’d written, and he even lined up Jim Carrey to star as Hughes. Nolan said Hughes was the role that Carrey was “born to play.” Nolan’s Howard Hughes movie never materialized, but learning how to distill the life of an iconic American figure into a movie script would pay off years later when it came time to penning “Oppenheimer.”

John Hopewell Chief International Correspondent Japan’s Hiroshi Teshigahara, who seemed on track for greatness after winning two Oscar nominations for “Woman in the Sands,” will be the subject of a San Sebastian Festival retrospective. Nominated for best foreign-language film in 1964, and winning Teshigahara a best director Academy Award nomination a year later, “Woman in the Sands” was just Teshigahara’s second feature, a social and erotic allegory which yoked the political convictions of Teshigahara and screenwriter Kobo Abe, both members of Japan’s communist party in their youth, with Abe’s penchant for the darkly surreal. Turning on an entomologist from Tokyo who discovers a young widow living at the bottom of an enormous sandpit on a deserted beach, it also won a Cannes Special Jury prize. Hailed as a masterpiece, and building on 1961’s “The Pitfall,” a political allegory which won Teshigahara fans, with Abe adapting his TV play, it looked like Teshigahara would find a niche on the same pantheon as contemporaries Nagisa Oshima and Shohei Imamura.
