In 1971, struggling writer Clifford Irving defrauded McGraw-Hill Publishers of $765,000 by fabricating exclusive access to Howard Hughes, the reclusive billionaire who hadn't been seen in public for 15 years; Irving spent months studying Hughes, practicing his handwriting, and creating fake letters and bank accounts, but the elaborate literary hoax was exposed when Hughes himself called a press conference to declare he had never met Irving, resulting in Irving's two-and-a-half-year prison sentence.
