A tyrant who ate people for lunch: Author reveals the little known side of actor Orson Welles
MEMOIR
ME AND MR WELLES
by Dorian Bond (History Press £9.99)
When Orson Welles died in 1985, it was the first complete stranger’s death that touched me personally. Welles was — and remains — the one person I wish I’d met and known.
How I envy Dorian Bond, therefore, an exotic-sounding, well-connected figure whose stepmother’s father was court jeweller to the King of Serbia.
At a loose end after leaving Oxford in 1968, Bond worked for Welles as an unpaid factotum (‘just being with him is enough’), running errands and obeying regal requests.
‘I want you to go to London,’ said Welles, when he and Bond were installed in Rome, ‘and bring me some cigars.’
Bond asked: ‘When?’
Dorian Bond reveals what is was like working up-close and professionally with actor and director Orson Welles (pictured)
Welles replied: ‘Now.’
When was Bond to return? ‘Today. This afternoon.’
Bond had first fallen happily into Welles’s orbit after having acceded to a similar demand.
‘Can you go to Yugoslavia tomorrow for Orson Welles?’ a family neighbour in Maida Vale, Ann Rogers, had asked out of the blue. She was Welles’s business manager, who kept him in funds with bundles of ready cash.
