Terry Moore: Howard Hughes Secret LEGAL Wife - Her Own Story

Entertainment Reporter Tim Estiloz chats with former 1940's Hollywood starlet and Oscar nominee, Terry Moore... about her secret life as Billionaire Howard Hughes' wife. Hughes had a legendary reputation as a womanizing "ladies man". But, unknown to much of Hollywood - he fell hard for a young popular starlet named Terry Moore... and secretly married her.
Her claim as Hughes legal wife was in a way legitimized many years ago - after years of court litigation with Hughes' estate... the estate paid her a settlement.
This video includes a unique audio tape provided by Moore that has a romantic phone conversation between she and Hughes - as he professes his love for her. It's a unique window in the mind of this mysterious, enigmatic billionaire... who fell for a starlet in a big way - and married her. Moore gained notoriety as an Oscar nominated actress for her role in the film "Peyton Place" and in the classic "Mighty Joe Young".

Love to hear the tape. The way they talked back then was just wonderful.

[@Smolley28]

When was he married to this woman exactly? He was married to Jean Peters from 57' to 71',never heard of this before, its not mentioned in any ofthe Howard Hughes biographies.

I have always thought the whole "secret marriage' was a crock. The only reason she got any money from the Hughes estate was undoubtedly just to keep her happy was she good friends with Hughes yes but something tells me that was as far as it went. Just one of Terry's delusions of what might has been that she has told for so long now it seems real to her.

[@burnell007]

Actually it is. It's in the most definative biography by Richard Hack which the aviator was taken from. She also got a settlement from his probate.

[@JJTownley_Classical-Composer]

Very interesting. I just finished watching "Come back Little Sheba" here on KZbin and Terry was perfect for the pivotal part of Marie. She lives right here in Glendale. I'd like to meet here and talk to her. She's one of the last who has a lot of dope on what was going on in Hollywood during the 50's.

Read ~ Hughes: The Private Diares, memos and Letters by Richard Hack you can even get it on recorded books at your local library.

I am amazed that he had so many girlfriends considering his mental health problems and obsession with cleanliness and germ phobias. I realise that he got worse with age but many of his ocd problems began in his childhood.

[@20alphabet]

What a great woman! Now even I love her.

[@JandJfish]

I wonder if she showed him the blueprints, showed him the blueprints, showed him the blueprints, showed him the blueprints, showed him the blueprints, showed him the blueprints.......

[@cmcb09]

I've never believed this claim, Terry Moore was a bit delusional never a big star undoubtedly needed the cash-flow.

[@CatamaranAir]

TM-H, A lady with class. Thanks for posting video.

[@JazminZenteno1]

Have you guys seen the movie? It was Howard who would record all the calls.

[@howardcod4]

Howard Hughes is seriously the most complex genius that ever lived! He was not into alcohol or smoking or any vices other than work and women. His multiple plane crashes cause concussions and broke almost every bone in his body which required him to take pain meds to get by. He then became dependent and had a tolerance like anyone would and required more to take the pain away. He used codeine for 30 years and valium basically those two and lived until he was 70.

[@sleepypoodle]

She received an undisclosed amount, his estate was divided between 22 cousins.

[@jedigoddess]

Lucky for her she just happened to have that taped private phone conversation between both of them where he "professes" his love.....

[@jay55also]

Mighty JOE Young.

[@foxolita1]

oh, i don't know. when i was younger, i taped many conversations with boyfriends. not knowing in advance what they were going to say. i just did it for the exact reason she did. i wanted to hear their voice years later, when it was all over, just for the satisfaction or nostalgia of going back. I'm sure she had al lot more than this one. just like taking a picture to remember.. i see nothing wrong with that!

[@arisu229]

There's something fishy about her...You might have been innocent enough, but she's just way too eager to talk about whatever she thinks they had together and made herself out as some Venus de Milo of all the women he has dated. When he died, she started talking of their secret marriage.

[@siempremarisol]

how come? what about jean peters

[@arisu229]

What I really like about this guy was his adamant decision of never ever being a father.

[@siempremarisol]

he was amrried to jean peters

[@upcycle]

possibly that recording was using the voice of an actor, not the genuine howard hughes. Consider that recording a conversation is already suspicous to be doing in a situation like that.

[@crazychrisva]

He could by and Presidents. Money and power can get you anything except happiness.

[@CMRinehart]

Terry Moore was in MIGHTY JOE YOUNG, she was adorable, and you know what she is the hottest old lady I have ever seen, I mean she is still beautiful.

[@davidcoffin9632]

[@missmaggie2620]

Meh...who cares...he had a special relationship with everybody in his younger days.

[@jsd105]

What a fraud! Money, money, money! OK.... on a legal note here..... why did he leave a certain family memeber out of his will? He included everyone with the exception on this one. Let me know, waiting. Thanks! God I can't listen to this gold digger!

[@Raveninety9]

start by going crazy

[@davidcoffin9632]

this story dont weigh out if its true then she would be 80 or 90 years old by now...! shes lieing a fame seaker,she would have had to be 50 years old when howord died in 1970, and that was 43 years ago,any ways she dont look to be over 50 now..! do your own math im sure mines not tol accuret.

[@TuffBurnOutTeam]
