I didn’t know that. And in his genius days too.

There's an audio documentary called "The Story of the Shadow". Interviews with whomever was still around at the time.

I think Welles would race in a cab from the Sunday matinee at his Mercury Theatre, straight into the studio, and would voice the scripts cold. (Should that be "coaled", or am I getting my sponsor years wrong?)

IIRC, one story was that during the intro, Welles dropped the "script", flutteringly scattering to the floor, in order to get a rise out of the producer, which he did. Welles then calmly pulled the actual script out of his back pocket.
