Welles, Orson, 1915-1985
Orson Welles; born George Orson Welles in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on May 6, 1915. Welles' career began with the Federal Theatre Project, when he was in his twenties; he is remembered for the political musical The Cradle Will Rock, and for his staging of Macbeth with an all-African American cast. With John Houseman, he founded the Mercury Theatre in 1937; the Mercury's radioplay of H.G. Wells' alien invasion story The War of the Worlds aired in October 1938. Welles is probably best known for his cinematic work as both an actor and a director, including films such as Citizen Kane (1941), Touch of Evil (1958), Chimes at Midnight (1965). After an extensive career on stage, screen, and airwaves, Welles died of a heart attack on October 10, 1985 at his home in Hollywood.
