In conjunction with the library’s exhibit, It’s Still Terrific: Citizen Kane at 75, author Harlan Lebo presents an historical overview of the film’s production, history and cultural significance. Using previously unpublished materials from studio files and the Hearst organization, Lebo’s recently published book, Citizen Kane: A Filmaker's Journey, charts the fascinating tale of how a then twenty-three- year-old Orson Welles reinvigorated Hollywood but suffered for it the rest of his life.
