About Orson Welles
George Orson Welles (May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985), best known as Orson Welles, was an American film director, writer, actor, and producer, who worked extensively in film, theatre, television, and radio. Noted for his innovative dramatic productions as well as his distinctive voice and personality, Welles is widely acknowledged as one of the most accomplished dramatic artists of the twentieth century, in spite of the failure of some later film projects after his significant and impressive early work.
Welles first found national and international fame as the director and narrator of a 1938 radio adaptation of H. G. Wells's novel The War of the Worlds which, performed in the style of a news broadcast, caused widespread panic when listeners thought that an extraterrestrial invasion was occurring and being reported by newscasters. His first two films with RKO, Citizen Kane (1941) and The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), are widely considered two of the greatest films ever made. Several of his other films, particularly Touch of Evil (1958) and Chimes at Midnight (1965), are also considered masterpieces by many. In 2002 he was voted the greatest film director of all time in the British Film Institute's poll of Top Ten Directors.
Welles was also an accomplished magician, starring in troop variety shows in the war years.
