There’s something about being able lay hands on work from a filmmaking genius, according to Beatrice Welles.

Welles, the youngest daughter of Orson Welles, has orchestrated an auction for several items from her father’s career through Heritage Auctions in New York on Saturday, April 26. For those unfamiliar with American film, Orson Welles created “Citizen Kane,” which many critics consider the greatest movie ever made.

Welles decided to put the items up for bid because she believes her father would have wanted these items to go to the fans that admired him. She also said that it was important to illustrate her father’s entire career.
