Couple Profile
Was bestfriends with Orson Welles until Orson`s death in 1985. Cotten starred in two of Orson`s most talked about films Citizen Kane, and the Magnificent Ambersons. He also acted alongside Welles in the Third Man. He absolutely enjoyed working with Bette Davis.[On making Citizen Kane with Orson Welles]"Orson must have been about 22 then and I still think he`s one of the greatest directors in the world. I don`t know why people regard him as a difficult man. He was the easiest, most inspiring man I`ve ever worked with. He was the only one who seemed to know what he was doing because we were all virgins on that picture."
