This is Orson Welles

Innovative film and theater director, radio producer, actor, writer, painter, narrator, and magician, Orson Welles was the last true Renaissance man of the twentieth century. Welles was a master storyteller, as expansive as he was enigmatic. This collection of penetrating and witty conversations between Welles and Peter Bogdanovich includes insights into Welles's radio, theater, film, and television work; Hollywood producers, directors, and stars; and almost everything else, from acting to magic, literature to comic strips, bullfighters to gangsters. The revised edition of this book, which Welles ultimately considered his autobiography, now includes Welles's revealing memo to Universal about his artistic intentions for Touch of Evil.--From publisher description
