    I have always liked Orson Welles. I'm 61 years old and I always thought for some reason when I was a lot younger I thought he was a Brit. Just because of his speech his mannerisms and his diction and vocabulary. I found out later on that he was from Milwaukee if I can recall. This man was such a brilliant human being extremely talented and dedicated. And he did go against the norm when it came to the Hollywood.

    Winston Churchill really was a class act. He joined the British Army in 1895 and saw action in British India, the Anglo-Sudan War, and the Second Boer War, gaining fame as a war correspondent and writing books about his campaigns before he even entered politics. It was only fitting that someone with such experience would lead his nation to a successful defence against a Nazi army that swept through Europe. It's also a testament to his leadership that even though he was voted out following World War II, that he was still leader of the opposition, and then was voted back in as Prime Minister only 6 years later in 1951, a position that he held until he decided to retire in 1955. Orson Wells here gave an excellent representation of the man and why he had earned such respect.

And unlike almost all "great" men... a brilliant sense of humour, based in self deprecation. When asked why he was late to commons once he quipped that he'd been up all night rehearsing his spontaneous witticisms.... self deprecating, revealing, honest, funny,
