'''Orson Welles''' (May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985) was a prolific American 20th century [[movie]] [[director]], [[writer]] and [[actor]]. He was best known for his film ''[[Citizen Kane]]'', which was a highly innovative work by him at age only 25 which influenced all movies made afterward, and his dramatization on the radio of [[H.G. Wells]]' ''[[The War of the Worlds]]'', which was so persuasively performed by him at age only 23 that it caused panic among people who thought a [[Mars|Martian]] invasion was really happening. His final role was in 1986's ''Transformers: The Movie'', where he voiced Unicron. Due to his poor health at his elderly age for that final role, sound effects were used to enhance his voice. | '''Orson Welles''' (May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985) was a prolific American 20th century [[movie]] [[director]], [[writer]] and [[actor]].
