Didn't he say he was a "student" when he supposedly met him. 15 years old could be about right.

from what i read on wikipedia, it seems very possible. he was in europe at the time, and in germany.btwhitler was not hard to meet in the early 30s, they nazis used to meet in a pub in munchen, also innsbruck is a very small town. in fact the thing i doubt is that there were thousands of supporters in such a small town, as welles says. my grandfather went to university in munchen and told me he bumped several times into hitler, although never spoke to him, and only later realized who he was.

Orson was a star! Compare him to today's so-called "stars" who are absolute dolts.

Welles was born in like what, 1915. Hitler became leader in 1933/34, the days when the nazi's were a minority party was like 20's, early 30. So that means this meeting of Hitler would of had to happen when he was like what, 15-17? So i unno, sounds like a lil bullshit lol them letting some american teenager sit next to the leader of the party

Do you really think Welles bumped into Hitler or is that just another one of his stories? ;)

The only thing which is unnatural is trying to say and do the Politically Correct thing I can pretend all you want that i don't care about beauty fearing that you will think i am superficial But i do we all do Flesh is as important as spirit We can't fight nature

On the contrary, there is quite a bit wrong with the Body Perfect idea and it plagues our society with a host of ills: eating disorders, body dismorphic disorder, steroid abuse, lining the pockets of plastic surgeons, and the big, bold, and beautiful feeling it is their right to take advantage of thers. That's not civilization. What is natural is imperfection. Why do you think the narrow minded are often drawn to respecting only exteriors. Lets not institutionalize such an idea ever again.

There is nothing wrong with the Body Perfect idea it is our nature Why is she to blame for admiring beauty as we all do And her filming I find progressive for our days And don't forget the passion for the film making that her and Welles carried Now days movies say the obvious and the pain free

She never ceased to give the impression that she was enamored of him. That was always a problem. She's passed on now (+ 2003) and so the issue of whether she's paid for something or not cannot be helped. Her work in Africa carried the same aesthetic, btw, veneration of the perfect body. A highly intelligent individual in full command of her medium. There's no correlation between such abilities and an aptitude for ethical behaviour.

Me too, he was such a great storyteller. Almost like the favorite Uncle or Grandfather you always looked forward to seeing every Xmas.
