Throughout the nation during the month of May, George Orson Welles, known professionally as Orson Welles, is being remembered on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Welles is best remembered for his wide-ranging work in the entertainment world. Welles was born in Kenosha on May 6, 1915. The Welles family had long history in Kenosha and made its home in a house facing Library Park. Welles father, Richard, was an inventor who made a fortune with his invention of a bicycle lamp. His mother, Beatrice Ives Welles, was a concert pianist. While the family was affluent its members were far from happy. The parents separated in 1919 and Orson moved with his mother to Chicago. His father also moved to Chicago and decreased his working hours, choosing instead to spend his days feeding his alcoholism.

While Orson spent some time in public school, his real education began in 1926 when he entered the Todd School for Boys, an expensive private school in Woodstock, Ill.
