    A lot of good information here on Orson Welles. Much of it I did not know, or remember. Great page!

    I remember hearing about the "War of the Worlds" episode. Many people freaked out because of that. Cool info.

    Very nice job on the lens! In one of Cybill Shepherd's biographies she mentions that while she and director Peter Bogdanovich lived together, Orson Welles stayed in one of their guest rooms for two years. I love "Citizen Kane," and "RKO 281." We've watched them back-to-back a few times.

    I recently saw the film Mr. Arkadia and was blown away by every aspect of it. It is so far ahead of its time it seems impossible it was made in the 1940's. All aspects of the film are ahead of their time. One can only imagine how an average movie-goer of the 40's would react upon viewing it. Its frantic pacing, unusual characters and dialogue and use of music and camera angles to add to the story are amazing. Orson Welles to me is a tragic and unknowable figure. This film lets his genious, artistry and originality shine through. If you are one of those who "loathe" Orson Welles, see this film and perhaps you will change your mind.

    I watched his Jane Eyre a few weeks ago, and love the radio spoof of War Of The Worlds. One of the great actors.

    Jane Eyre Orson Welles is one of my favorites of his. Classic performance from an outstanding actor.

Yes, its an American Bald Eagle, which in my case is one third accurate in that I'm English.
