Orson Welles
American actor, director, producer, and writer Orson Welles was only 25 years old when he completed what is often considered one of the greatest motion pictures in film history: Citizen Kane (1941). Welles is also famous for his 1938 radio version of English author H. G. Well’s War of the Worlds, which, when broadcast, caused thousands of people to believe that an alien attack was actually taking place.
