Howard Mutti-Mewse
- Actor
- Writer
Born in Weybridge, Surrey in 1972, Howard and his identical twin
brother Austin were raised on a diet of black and white movies. This
fascination made way for written correspondence with many of Hollywoods
film legends, including Lillian Gish, Bob Hope, James Stewart, Marlene
Dietrich and Bette Davis. In June 1993, an exhibition of their
collected ephemera was held at The Museum of the Moving Image MOMI in
London. The Daily Telegraph hailed it, 'A must for all fans of the
cinema'. That same year, the brothers visited California and met with
some of their ancient pen pals for the first time. Subsequent trips to
the USA followed and a decision was made to record the former actors
stories on film. Following the completion of Howards Bachelor of Arts
degree in graphic design, the brothers worked diligently to raise
finance for this documentary, I Used to Be in Pictures (2000). A chance meeting with Barbara
Broccoli, daughter of the late James Bond producer Albert Cubby
Broccoli, helped Austin and Howard to realise the project.
Howard lives in South London and works as a public relations consultant as well freelance journalist. He writes regularly for The Independent, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian - Friday Review and The Times. Howard has also written in the past for Tatler, Privatair, Empire Film Monthly, You Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, Attitude and Harpers & Queen.

Howard's PR efforts culminated in no less than eighty pieces of printed and broadcast material. He also co-authored the book `Worth Exposing Hollywood'.
