An unfinished memoir by Orson Welles has been discovered by archivists at the University of Michigan more than three decades after the film-maker’s death.
The autobiography, titled Confessions of a One-Man Band, explains why Welles – who is famed for his struggles with the Hollywood studio system – failed to complete a number of film projects. It also details his views on his great friend (and occasional foe) Ernest Hemingway, wife Rita Hayworth and film-maker DW Griffith. Beginning in the 1970s and typed, with handwritten notes and edits, it was discovered by archivists at the university in eight boxes of Welles material sent by the Citizen Kane director’s partner of 24 years, Oja Kodar, from her home in Croatia.
