Appendix. New or unfinished projects ; Partial cast of characters.
Summary:
"There have long been rumors of a lost cache of tapes containing private conversations between
Orson
Welles
and his friend the director Henry Jaglom, recorded over regular lunches in the years before
Welles
died. The tapes, gathering dust in a garage, did indeed exist, and this book reveals for the first time what they contain. Here is
Welles
as he has never been seen before: talking intimately, disclosing personal secrets, reflecting on the highs and lows of his astonishing career, the people he knew--FDR, Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, Marlene Dietrich, Laurence Olivier, David Selznick, Rita Hayworth, and more--and the many disappointments of his last years"--Dust jacket flap.
