The speaker described finishing this delightful book which contained recorded conversations between the director and Orson Welles, noting that Welles came alive in the book and it was hysterical to read.
I just finished a delightful book called My Lunches with Orson, which is Henry Jacklum was this director that recorded all of his conversations with Orson Welles, and he had permission.
But Orson Welles is Jake and I get called the Yentas of the east side of Los Angeles because we're gossipy and love it. And when I read this, there was no bigger gossiping Yenta on this planet than Orson Welles. Bless his heart. He comes alive in this, and it's hysterical.
I was laugh out loud reading it. And there's a remarkable amount of wisdom in there.
