Orson Welles
It’s hard to keep up with the number of Orson Welles’ celebrations taking place this year.
At last count, there are more than two dozen notable tributes taking place on three continents. The first centennial film festival took place in January and events are planned well past the 100th anniversary of Welles’ birth on May 6.
