Part One of the Seven-Part Special Lecture Series: Orson Welles & The Golden Age of Hollywood

David Nasaw, one of the nation’s most respected historians/biographers, explores the charmed life of Orson Welles from his boyhood through his incredible successes as a theater director and the founder of his own radio acting company (which scared America as never before with Welles' production of War of the Worlds). Nasaw’s latest book is The Last Million: Europe’s Displaced Persons From World War to Cold War. He previously published the definitive biographies of Joseph P. Kennedy and William Randolph Hearst.

Tickets are not required, but please RSVP on Eventbrite or email Dick Levinson at levinsonr@freelibrary.org for this and other dates in the series.
