Austin Pendleton Buck Henry, - Welles Content you'd Like to see

[Clive Dale]

There is Welles information not generally available.

Here's four things that currently exist and would be interesting to see or hear, but are unavaiable. If you can think of others like them, post them here:

1) Merv Griffin's tapes

2) In 1977, OW's appearance at the Orson Welles Theater in Cambridge, Mass. was called "An Evening with Orson Welles." a crude recording of it exists but has never been played for anyone.

3) last year Mayles recorded the "Afterwords" sessions at NY's "Orson's Shadow" there were interviews with: Peter Bogdanovich, Chris Welles Feder, Austin Pendleton and Buck Henry

4) The tapes of the phone conversations between Welles and Roger Hill that the Tarbox family have

I'd most like to hear all of Peter Bogdanovich's tapes of the conversations between him and Welles, c. 1969-1972, that became the basis of "This is Orson Welles"; I've heard a few extra minutes that were cut from the Caedmon tapes because they were very negative about Stanley Cortez, who was probably still alive when they were released. However, Bogdanovich probably has about 20 cds worth; who's going to release them? I just hope he gives them to the Smithsonian, if he hasn't already.

??? An employee of Bogdanovich once informed me that his Howard Hawks material (including the full version of his interview which has been published in different versions) went to the Lilly Library at Indiana University which also has the Welles archive.

Perhaps he may have sent it there? This is woth following up.

They're in the Lilly.

The Bogdanovich Collection at the Lilly has some interesting things on the Other Side of The Wind (the Lilly is the repository of Ford, Welles and Bogdanovich's papers)
