Sentence Structure

The third sentence of the article (last sentence of the first paragraph) seems very confusingly worded to me... It starts talking about a hotel and ends up talking about hollywood and movie roles... is something missing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.2.6.134 (talk) 00:46, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've cleaned up all the text. GM kinda wanted to be like Howard Hughes I guess. He even did the Hollywood thing. Gwen Gale 01:38, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

tense

what the hell kind of verb tense is this in. He's dead, it should be past tense.SECProto 02:46, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well hell, show us where the tense is incorrect. Postoak 21:23, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was all written for the correct tense where appropriate. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 21:50, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
