The behind-the-scenes of Citizen Kane are almost as interesting as the film itself. Who is the famous director of the classic?

Answer Orson Welles

With Jack Black as Orson Welles, Steve Berg tells the behind-the-scenes drama of the making of Citizen Kane. Funnily enough, the drama was between Welles and the grandfather of another character on this list, Patty Hearst. William Randolph Hearst was annoyed by Welles's thinly veiled depiction of him. After Hearst made sure that no newspaper would run a review and no theatres would show the film, Welles showed it in tents, which certainly did the opposite of what Hearst had hoped. In fact, Citizen Kane was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won Best Original Screenplay.
