Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Beatrice Welles, Daughter of the Legendary Orson Welles

About Harvey's guest:

Today’s guest, Beatrice Welles, is descended from Hollywood royalty. She’s the daughter of one of the greatest and most influential actors, filmmakers and writers of all time, the legendary Orson Welles.

Of course, we all know Orson Welles was a genius, simply by watching his monumentally significant movies including, “Citizen Kane”, “The Magnificent Ambersons”, “The Stranger”, “The Lady From Shanghai”, “Macbeth”, “Othello”, “Touch of Evil”, “The Trial” and many more.

His groundbreaking radio shows, especially “War of the Worlds”, were exceptionally innovative, and still resonate with audiences today.

And his renowned stage career includes many critically acclaimed productions including “Macbeth”, “Dr. Faustus”, “The Cradle Will Rock”, “Julius Caesar”, “King Lear”, “Native Son”, “Around the World”, and “Moby Dick”, to name just a few.

Our guest is Orson Welles’ youngest daughter Beatrice, who’s had quite an extraordinary career herself. As a child actress, she worked with her father in his 1965 film “Chimes at Midnight”, and in his 1972 film “Don Quixote”, and in the 1964 TV series, “In the Land of Don Quixote”.

And as an adult, she’s been a highly successful fashion model, a radio and TV personality, as well as founder of a cosmetics line and designer of handbags and jewelry, in addition to being a well-known animal rights advocate. She also administers the estate of her beloved father, and over the years she’s worked tirelessly to celebrate, honour, preserve and protect his phenomenal body of work and his legacy.

In 1992 our guest received a Special Award from the National Board of Review for her work with my dear friend, producer Julian Schlossberg, in restoring her father’s magnificent 1951 film, “Othello”. And more recently, she was the executive producer of Orson Welles’ highly anticipated final feature film, “The Other Side of the Wind”, which was finally released on Netflix in 2018.

And the next year, she facilitated the release of a terrific book entitled, “Orson Welles Portfolio: Sketches and Drawings from the Welles Estate”, which features some of Mr. Welles’ artwork, including costume and set designs, and caricatures.
