Actor Simon Callow joins Matthew Parris to nominate the life of a giant of Hollywood's golden age, Orson Welles.
Aged just 26, Welles wrote, directed and starred in Citizen Kane.
He once recalled how he 'started at the top and worked his way down' - never managing to recreate his initial film success.
Welles's friend and collaborator Henry Jaglom talks about knowing him for the last years of his life.
The movie industry had turned its back on him leaving him strapped for cash and looking for work.
