Personal Quote:
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone. See more »Trivia:
Laurence Olivier strongly considered casting Welles as the Duke of Buckingham in Richard III (1955) but felt obligated to cast his close friend Ralph Richardson in the role. Olivier came to regret this decision as he believed that Welles would have added an element of conspiracy to the film. See more »Trademark:
Known for his use of low camera angles, tracking shots, deep focus and elaborate crane shots in his films. See more »Star Sign:
