Out of all the many stars and celebrities Hollywood has
produced, only a handful have achieved the fame—and, some
would say, infamy—of Orson Welles, the creator and star of
what is arguably the greatest American film, Citizen Kane.
Many books have been written about him, detailing his
achievements as an artist as well his foibles as a human
being. None of them, however, has gotten so close to the
real man as does Chris Welles Feder's beautifully realized
portrait of her father. In My Father's Shadow is a classic story of a life lived in
the public eye, told with affection and the wide-eyed
wonder of a daughter who never stopped believing that
someday she would truly know and understand her elusive and
larger-than-life father. The result is a moving and
insightful look at life in the shadow of a legendary figure
and an immensely entertaining story of growing up in the
unreal reality of Hollywood, enhanced by Welles Feder's
collection of many never-before-seen family photographs.
