Kate Beckinsale has been talking about the upcoming The Aviator,
specifically her role as Ava Gardner "It was a little bit
intimidating. On every page of the script she is described as
the most beautiful woman in the world." She then talked
about the relationship between Howard Hughes and Gardner "It
was a cantankerous flirtation. They were good friends, and she
was attracted to him and his largesse. But she was worried that
something might be required in return."

experience. Unsurprisingly, he says he had a great time hanging out with the

doing because Hughes is an enigma and is so hard to fathom, and it's so hard
to follow his processes. Leo did that beautifully."
