War of The Worlds -Oct 30, 1938

On October 30, 1938 - Orson Welles gives the world a big scare with his radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. Orson Welles (George Orson Wells) was born on May 6, 1915 in Kenosha, Wisconsin… so this radio hoax was pulled off by a 23 year old kid! And while he was still in his mid twenties, he directed and starred in - Citizen Kane, still seen by many as the greatest film ever made. Oh come on, Rosebud? I think he Welles was most compelling as Franz Kindler in The Stranger, (PREVIEW) or as Harry Lime in Graham Greene’s The Thrid Man. (PREVIEW)
