Big Viet Withdrawal Seen in New Armed Forces Cut
LAS VEGAS. Actress Jean Peters says she will divorce billionaire recluse Howard Hughes, longtime Las Vegas magnate and secretive aviation and film figure. Married since 1942, their union produced no children and faced privacy and business tensions as Hughes’ vast holdings and empire expanded. Peters, a former star known for A Man Called Peter Viva Zapata and Three Coins in the Fountain, notes the split stems from a decade of marriage and will settle property privately. Hughes built a fortune from Hughes Tool, Trans World Airlines profits, and stakes in hotel casinos and oil firms, with a public life largely hidden since the mid 1950s. The couple, who wed in 1957, have spent years in world-wide residences including a Nevada ranch and Desert Inn penthouse.
