Been a while since I posted. I haven't had much to say lately and work has been hectic.
We watched the movie "The Hoax" at home this weekend. It is about a writer in the early '70's who forged a biography of the crazed billionaire Howard Hughes. It was based on the antics of writer Clifford Irving, and a lot of it was fictionalized, but the core story was true. He did this while Hughes was alive, and managed to get away with it long enough to get a million dollar advance from his publisher. There was a lot of intrigue and the book had a role to play in the Watergate scandals that took down Richard Nixon. Irving, along with his wife and his co-writer, eventually went to jail for fraud. He is still a published author today.
Richard Gere was the star. I really like him when he is not playing a simplistic good-looking guy. He is a great actor and was particularly good in this role.
