Good lord, if you are going to lift unsubstantiated information about this guy from another website at least verify the facts and spelling. Christopher, the first born child to Welles is NOT a son, she is a DAUGHTER. Also, Orson Welles wasn't deemed a "war" of the state of Illinois, he was a "ward" of the state.
