Orson Welles is an indisputable genius of film, radio and stage and in this interview he talks a little of his remarkable history, his views on growing old and ex-wife Rita Hayworth, a legend in her own right.
What makes this clip from 1985 of the 70-year old Welles additionally poignant, is it was his last before he died of a heart attack a few hours after this was recorded. It’s quite the understatement to say Welles has made a lasting impression on cinema as his work continues to influence and inspire to this day.
His filmography speaks for itself with titles such as: CITIZEN KANE, TOUCH OF EVIL, CONFIDENTIAL REPORT and he was even the voice of Unicron in the 1986 TRANSFORMERS movie plus we will never forget that historic narration on WAR OF THE WORLDS, the radio play that sent panic to the masses with its realistic depiction of an Alien invasion in 1938.
A man of unquestionable talent and with great admiration, ladies and gentlemen we give you, Orson Welles:
