American actor, director, writer, and producer who worked in theatre, radio, and film. He is remembered for his innovative[1]
work in all three: in theatre, most notably Caesar (1937), a Broadway adaptation of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar; in radio,
the legendary[2] 1938 broadcast "The War of the Worlds"; and in film, Citizen Kane (1941), consistently ranked as one of the greatest films ever made.
In his 20s, Welles directed a number of high-profile stage productions for the Federal Theatre Project, including
an adaptation of Macbeth with an entirely African American cast, and the political musical The Cradle Will Rock.
In 1937 he and John Houseman founded the Mercury Theatre, an independent repertory theatre company that presented a series
of productions on Broadway through 1941. Welles found national and international fame as the director and narrator of a 1938
radio adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds performed for his radio anthology series The Mercury Theatre on the Air.
It reportedly caused widespread panic when listeners thought that an invasion by extraterrestrial beings was actually occurring.
Although some contemporary sources claim these reports of panic were mostly false and overstated,[3] they rocketed Welles to notoriety.
