Simon Callow on Orson Welles: after a little more than a decade, the second volume of Callow's massive biography of Welles will finally be published in August. The first volume -The Road to Xanadu- is my favorite book on the man, so I'm quite excited about this.

There's a galley sitting on my desk right now. If my space was a little more private, I'd probably spend the rest of the day reading.

That's pretty good for a guy whose main claim to fame is hosting American Idol!

No silly, this is the good Simon Callow, from Four Weddings and a Funeral (which I've never actually seen).

I've added these two to my wishlist, but I'm most likely going to go run out and buy them this weekend. I loooove Orson Welles and hadn't seen these before. Thanks PST!
