Orson Welles

Was an influential American film director, writer, and actor. Though he is most well known for his infamous 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast and his 1941 directoral debut Citizen Kane, considered by many to be the greatest film ever made, Welles has done far more than that.

Welles is often seen as a genius and one of the greatest filmmakers ever, yet, due to problems he had in Hollywood after the release of his first two films, Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Ambersons, he is also seen as a fallen giant and a commercial failure. Welles was also very overweight for the latter half of his life.
You know who is a great filmmaker? Orson Welles!

I feel more betrayed than Orson Welles after Hollywood butchered The Magnificent Ambersons.

Go on a diet you Orson!
