Orson Welles’ Last Interview, 2 Hours Before His Death

only the morbidly curious need apply. actually, i take that back, this is pretty fascinating stuff even when divorced from its context — orson welles could always elevate an interview into the realm of high entertainment, and that held true until the very end. here, Welles chats about being 70, loving Rita Hayworth, and disparages the soap operas of the 1980s. it was 9 days before my 1st birthday.

- “old age is a shipwreck.”

“but you feel wonderful, don’t you?”

- “oh, sure.”
