Im doing a project on howard hughes and i need props, do you have any ideas of some good props?

Question

i already have a model airplane but i need more

Answer 1

Sneakers. He always wore sneakers, even with his suits. Never dress shoes. If you're presenting this as if you are Hughes, be sure to be very, very, clean. Get a bottle of milk (if you can find a glass one, if not, use a glass soda) and open it with a handkerchief. Handle doorknobs and such with your handkerchief. Huges was very concerned with germs. Also, he had a problem with exact speech. He was know to correct minute details of someones speaking. He'd say "It just doesn't sound right." and proceed to suggest repeatedly to you how to pronounce a word. You might mention his development of hearing aids, a long working project to help him get around his hearing loss. If you have time, get out to a smaller public airport in your area and ask around for any old aircraft parts or instruments you can use. Again, if you're acting the part, carry it in and apologise for the clutter. Explain how you're trying to improve the design. Maybe stop in the middle to look at the parts or your model airplane and make some notes. Be a liittle nervous too, but not too much. Anyway, it's said he was often carrying some notes, a blueprint or some little piece of his work. Good luck on your project!

Answer 2

A big barrel of money, a movie camera, and very long toenails.

Answer 3

Look up some info on line about the Spruce Goose, arguably Hughes' most ambitious aircraft project, a monstrously large eight engine transport plane.

Answer 4

Aviator sunglasses, or a leather bomber jacket (the more beat-up the better).  Two ticket stubs, (he dated Hollywood stars).  A copy of a portion of any technical drawing (easy to copy one from the library).  Something more from Hollywood, a copy of an old movie poster, a martini glass.  Anything that mixes the ideas of technical design, flying, and glamor.  Have fun.

Answer 5

tissues.

Carry a box of tissues with you and only touch things while holding the tissue.

Answer 6

A pilot cap from the thirties

A picture of Katherine Hepburn

A model (reduced) of one of his aircraft.

A TWA logo
