A daughter's take on Orson Welles
NEW YORK • No posters or photographs of Orson Welles hang in the living room of his eldest daughter, Chris Welles Feder.

His memory is preserved, imperfectly, through a shelf of books that Feder says have yet to capture her father's many-sided life.
"There are some excellent studies about him, but I feel that the Orson Welles I knew doesn't really exist in these books because many of the people who wrote them never got closer than a long distance phone call," she says.
Feder, author of the popular "Brain Quest" series for young people, may be one of the reasons Welles' story remains incomplete.
She has talked to few of his biographers and acknowledges that she has had a hard time reconciling the genius of "Citizen Kane" with her dynamic, but distant father, who died in 1985.
But in recent years, she has reached her "great goal" of peace with Welles and found the words.
In 2002, she privately published "The Movie Director," a collection of poems.
