There was a policy at Hughes against drinking at lunch, but the men ignored it.

Howard Hughes himself was a regular at the restaurant, and in a way it became his headquarters, too. Howard had recently relocated to Las Vegas, so when he wanted to do business in Los Angeles, he went into the back of our restaurant to use the telephone.

Even though I had a lucrative contract with MGM, I had a husband who was drinking and gambling our money away faster than I could make it.

I had a wonderful father, and I couldn't bear that television virtually ignored black fathers.

After I quit drinking, I realized I am the same asshole I always was; I just have fewer dents in my car.

There are differences between what the driver said happened and what the guys said happened and because they'd been drinking, they are not as reliable as witnesses as he is.
