Orson Welles' Career Ended With 'The Deep'
No director suffered as abysmal a career trajectory as Orson Welles. Reeling after years of rejection, the Citizen Kane director designed the film The Deepto be his comeback. He thought it could redefine his image and be the blockbuster that bankrolled his comfy retirement. Instead, he lost an actor to scheduling conflicts, ran out of cash, and then had his leading man die. Sinking into a depression, he gave up completely, refusing to complete the film. He lived another 12 years and never completed another full-length feature narrative film again.
