Orson Welles

I've been taken by Orson Welles ever since the 4th grade when we listened to an old recording of The War of the Worlds broadcast. As I grew older, I realised that he was far more than just super cool. He was funny and brilliant and innovative and, if I am correct, is the man responsible for saying one of the most romantic sentences ever uttered in the English language. I was told, or perhaps I read somewhere, that whilst filming, a crew member remarked that Rita Hayworth was sweating. Orson corrected this gentleman, "Horses sweat, people perspire, Miss Hayworth glows." Gotta love that.
