Orson Welles Posed in Smoking Jacket

This black and white capture features Orson Welles posed in the studio leaning against a chair, wearing an embellished smoking jacket.

Orson Welles was an American actor, director, writer, and producer who worked in theatre, radio, and film. He is remembered for his innovative work in all three: in theatre, most notably Caesar, a Broadway adaptation of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar; in radio, the legendary 1938 broadcast "The War of the Worlds"; and in film, Citizen Kane, consistently ranked as one of the greatest films ever made.
