HE IS ALSO VERY,VERY FUNNY - OFTEN OUTRAGEOUS. HE IS CONSTANTLY CURIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. NOR DOES BARBARA LEAMING TRY TOPUT AN ARTIFICIAL FRAME ON A MAN FAR TOO COMPLEX TO WEAR ONE;SHE HAS,AST HIS SUGGESTION,INCLUDED HERSELF (ALONG WITH OLIVIER,GIELGUD,DIETRICH,GARBO,KORDA,CHAPLIN,HAYWORTH,BEATTY, ROOSEVELT,ETC.) IN HIS BIOGRAPHY. I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL WAY TO DO A BIOGRAPHY, ADVISED ORSON. I CANBE FRANK WITH YOU WITHOUG SOUNDING FAKE MODEST,BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT - ALAS - SOME KIND OF LEGEND.
