Welles first found national and international fame as the director and narrator of a 1938 radio adaptation of H. G. Welles' novel, ”The War of the Worlds, “ which was reported to have caused widespread panic when listeners thought that an extraterrestrial invasion was occurring. Although these reports of panic were mostly false and overstated, they rocketed Welles to instant notoriety. Orson Welles wrote ”Citizen Kane“ while living here at this house. ”Citizen Kane“ (1941), his first film with RKO, in which he starred in the iconic role of Charles Foster Kane, is often considered the greatest film ever made.
