Citizens Take Note: “Citizen Kane” mirrored events in the life of newsman mogul William Randolph Hearst. He sued the producers and director Orson Welles who also played the title role.
In the movie Charles Foster Kane inherits the mother lode from his mother (how appropriate). Among his father’s investments is a newspaper. He decides it would be “fun to run a newspaper” with his best bud--played by Joseph Cotton. The one newspaper becomes a chain of newspapers.
He marries a nice lady played by Agnes Moorehead who was Endora on “Bewitched.”. We see them at dinner sitting on opposite ends of a long banquet table.
To spice up his life he has an affair with a young starlet of limited talents (if they were making the movie today Paris Hilton would get the part). He fires his former best bud for writing a truthful review saying that her concert performance stunk (he was being kind). When the affair is discovered it destroys Kane’s political career before it starts.
All these events mirrored the life of William Randolph Hearst--only the names were changed--so for extra credit does anyone know the name of the real Rosebud.
Oh yes, the film will be shown Friday, December 19, at 2 p.m. in the Community Room.
