well, that's just silly I suppose he wore make up for his radio work in the 30's too, right? no make up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Orson_Welles_1937.jpg
and he didn't wear a girdle in "Kane," he wore a back brace (so he would walk stiffly as an old Kane).
I think he was very handsome in the 30's & 40's (and he was definitely considered so by many young ladies, and others, at the time). -

Considering
he's
the one that said that, I don't really believe him. Neither did his good friend Peter Bogdanovich who was doing the interview. Plenty of contemporary candid photographs exist that bear this out; he was just being self-deprecating.

Oh my goodness, yes. If you haven't seen it yet, get hold of a copy of "Prince of Foxes." He plays Cesare Borgia. Actually, I don't think he was ever unattractive. If a person was really unsure, all they had to do was stick around until Mr. Welles began to speak.

I dunno. He looked pretty much the same until about the mid-fifties, which would make him forty. Most people start to go down hill after that.
Though he
always
had beautiful hands, even after he started gaining weight like crazy.

I just bought The War of the Worlds book. It comes with a cd of the original radio broadcast that he did and a short 5 page thing in the front about Orson with quite a few 16d0pics. Looking at the pics I kept thinking "Damn, he was a bit of a hottie in his early days!"

Just look at the pictures, he wasnt conventionally handsome, nor an Adonis, but yes, he was hot and sexy. -

I just watched Citizen Kane for the first time today and he was quite handsome when he was young in it which completely surprised me since I've only seen him older and meatier lol.
