Among the many voice recordings Orson Welles made late in his career, few are as obscure—or as intriguing—as a little-known 1983 cassette created for visitors to Los Angeles on the eve of the 1984 Summer Olympics. wellesnet.com/1984-olympics-…

Orson Welles read Isaac Woodard's affidavit on national radio. Five weeks later, the FBI found the cop. He confessed. The jury acquitted in 30 minutes. youtube.com/watch?v=-30_NN…

Orson Welles directing John Huston during THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND. At a drive-in movie theater, director Jake Hannaford will have his last talk with longtime friend Zarah Valeska.

@YourBoyMarc12 When faced with limitations, Orson Welles came up with innovations, which is why a memorable scene in OTHELLO is set in a Turkish bath. Because Welles did not have money for costumes, he thought outside the box.

Orson Welles is a legend though. Don’t get me wrong. I just disagree with the quote.

Bry Mawr Film Institute proclaims "We Love Orson Welles" with a month-long @BMFI showcase of his films beginning May 5. wellesnet.com/bryn-mawr-orso…

Beloved actor William Shatner, 94, is reportedly heading into surgery after shattering his shoulder in a horse-riding accident. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers and wish him strength and a full recovery.

@normanbuntzhsb @FatherChrisVor1 You hope a man dies because you think a sci-fi franchise is too woke?

@FatherChrisVor1 I’d rather he not be around to watch his Star Trek legacy continue to get crapped on.

With war raging in Iran, Orson Welles fans might be interested in revisiting "Flames of Persia," a 1971 film he narrated about the Shah of Iran. It came at a time when a radical Islamic movement sought to topple the Shah. wellesnet.com/iran-orson-wel…

A lost English-language novel attributed to Orson Welles — discovered in 2018 in the archives of the National Museum of Cinema in Turin by @MatthewAsprey Gear — will be published on March 31 in Italian by the independent publisher @lanavediteseoed | wellesnet.com/lost-orson-wel…

@tim_everitt @librarycongress I wish TOSOTW was on physical media too. I ended up buying FYC/Oscar discs on eBay of the feature film and Morgan Neville's documentary.🙄

@Wellesnetcom @librarycongress All except his inaccessible last film.

What if Orson Welles' Le Chiffre was in Casino Royale 2006...?

@StephenKing It's satire. California only has 52 congressional districts and "Rep. Kimble" represents the 54th.

If you believe that, you probably can’t spell. Oh…wait…

@PimlicoSteve @Todd_Spence As a newspaper A&E editor, I assigned a college intern to interview Lou Reed. Well, Reed gave a great interview and his publicist called me to tell me liked talking the kid!

@Todd_Spence Giving off heavy Lou Reed vibes here.

In 2016, Jerry Lewis gave one of the best interviews ever where he had absolutely zero patience 😂

@dnfiofkdn This post is either the lowest, heartless means of getting clicks or you are totally oblivious to what it takes to be a 24/7 caretaker.
