Orson Welles (1915-1985) was an American actor, director, writer, and producer who worked in theatre, radio, and film. He is remembered for his work in all three, most notably for "Caesar", a Broadway adaptation of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, "The War of the Worlds" in radio, and "Citizen Kane" in film, which is consistently ranked as one of the all-time greatest films. In 1998 and 2007, the American Film Institute ranked "Citizen Kane" as the greatest American movie. These other Welles films were also nominated for the AFI list: "The Magnificent Ambersons" (director/producer/screenwriter), "The Third Man" (actor), "Touch of Evil" (actor/director/screenwriter), and "A Man for All Seasons" (actor). In 1999, The American Film Institute also acknowledged Welles as one of the top 25 male motion picture stars of Classic Hollywood cinema in its survey, AFI's 100 Years...100 Stars.
