“I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I’m destroyed.” — Orson Welles, on his role as Unicron in Transformers: The Movie.
Welles’ first feature film was the incomparable Citizen Kane, which was nominated for nine Academy Awards (but won just one). It is generally considered the greatest film ever made.
Welles’ final feature film work appeared in Transformers: The Movie, which was released 45 years after his masterpiece. Welles did some voiceover, told somebody that he was “playing a toy” in a movie about toys who “do horrible things to each other,” and then passed away five days later.
