So:

It is a man connected with the film industry, who was born between 1905 and 1935 in California, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, or Texas. His first name does not begin with the letter S, P, A, R, T, C, U, L, or O.

Although I'm not sure Howard Hughes was "primarily" known for his involvement in the film industry, it was one of his multiple sources of fame.

Not a question for the QM: do we know that this is a man? I can't find anywhere where that was revealed.

I believe he won an Oscar. If not, great guess.

Not Howard Hughes.

It's someone who is less well-known than these two people. A stronger version of the hint I gave earlier is that there is a connection between this person and something I did with my family this weekend.

I will go ahead and say that I did very much consider hemming and hawing at the "Primarily known for involvement in film?" question. Also, my definition of film is a very broad one.

No, nor do we know if the person is alive or dead. Pretty poor really.

Are we out of questions?
