Suzan-Lori Parks

I love beautiful black-and-white movies – anything Bette Davis, especially ‘Now’, ‘Voyager’, ‘Casablanca’, ‘Mildred Pierce’; anything by Orson Welles, Truffaut, or Godard; and ‘Paper Moon’ by Peter Bogdanovich.

– Suzan-Lori Parks

Spencer Tracy

I’m disappointed in acting as a craft. I want everything to go back to Orson Welles and fake noses and changing your voice. It’s become so much about personality.

– Spencer Tracy

Robert Osborne

When Orson Welles was acting in ‘Compulsion,’ the director Richard Fleischer let him just take over and direct the courtroom scenes. To be able to see Welles – who knew more about directing than anyone – direct himself and the other actors, it was unbelievable and unforgettable.

– Robert Osborne

Reed Morano

I think I subconsciously knew you needed life experience to direct, and the best films are directed by people who have really lived, with exceptions like Orson Welles, who just burst out of the gate. There are prodigies like that, but for me, personally, I thought I needed life experience.

– Reed Morano

Rachael Stirling

She was just Ma, and I didn’t grow up in some kind of acting dynasty: Orson Welles didn’t come round and give me a piggyback; Vivien Leigh never read me a bedtime story. It was just my mum and our housekeeper, whom I adored, and after that, it was boarding school.

– Rachael Stirling

Peter Bogdanovich

When I was younger, all my friends were older – John Ford, Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant. I loved talking to those people.

– Peter Bogdanovich

Patrick Macnee

I mean, everyone says Citizen Kane. It isn’t that great, anyway. And Orson Welles I knew well, of course. He made other incredible films that no one would let him make, which were much better than Citizen Kane, really.

– Patrick Macnee

Mercedes McCambridge

Only a certain breed of actor should ever even try to work for Orson Welles. I’m glad I’m one of that breed.

– Mercedes McCambridge

Martin Clunes

Mum worked as a secretary for Orson Welles for what sounded like a very miserable year. Her brother was the actor Jeremy Brett, who became famous for playing Sherlock Holmes. He was an absolutely lovely man. Very exciting and glamorous, he’d always make me feel amazing and full of confidence, like I’d picked the right thing to do in life.

– Martin Clunes

Mark Rydell

It always amazed me that he was able to do it, and that Orson Welles was able to do it. I never understood it because the talents are absolutely opposite – polar opposites.

– Mark Rydell

John Logan

I fell in love with Errol Flynn and Tyrone Power and Basil Rathbone and Hitchcock and Orson Welles and John Huston.

– John Logan

Jacob Elordi

I really got into film noir was when I was supposed to play Orson Welles in a movie.

– Jacob Elordi
