Lunch with Orson

“They’re so busy, this would be a great day to send a dish back to the chef.”

Vulture.com shares transcripts of director Henry Jaglom’s taped conversations with Orson Welles at Los Angeles’s Ma Maison. Here’s a taste:

Henry Jaglom: You knew Roosevelt, right?

Orson Welles: Yes, I kept him up too late. He liked to stay up and talk, you see. He was free with me. I didn’t need to be manipulated. He didn’t need my vote. He used to say, “You and I are the two best actors in America.”

Roast beef with a side of celebrity, please!

Welles also told Jaglom he believed Nazi snipers gunned down the plane that killed his good friend Carole Lombard in 1942. My thoughts on whether that actually happened can be found at http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/610122.html.
