Besides being an accomplished actor, director, writer, and producer; Welles comes from a family of talent. Between his Father (Richard Head Welles) being an inventor, and his Mother (Beatrice Ives) being a concert pianist, You can say the bar was already set high for young George Orson Welles. His Mother was responsible for teaching him the arts of magic, pianting, and piano. He went to many places but found his career plateau in 1931 when he traveled to Ireland to study acting in Doublin's Gate Theater. Needless to say, he returned to America with a vengeance as he perfomed as Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet.
He up and married a fellow actor in 1934 (Verginia Nicholson)who was alos a socialite. They had one child who turned out to be Chris Welles Feder. In 1938, He produced plays at the Mercury Theater where he became rather famous and began work on Citizen Kane. From there on, there was a nice long and rocky road of success until his demise in Hollywood, California where he suffered a heart attack at the age of 70.
