More Information

William Randolph Hearst was angered by this movie, which was obviously based on his life. According to an essay written by Gore Vidal (a close friend of Hearst's), "Rosebud" was Hearst's name for long-time mistress Marion Davies' genitals.

When asked by friends how Kane's last words would be known when he died alone, Welles reportedly stared for a long time before saying "Don't you ever tell anyone of this".

Despite all the publicity, the film was a box office flop and was quickly consigned to the RKO vaults. At 1941's Academy Awards the film was booed every time one of its nine nominations was announced. It was only re-released for the public in the mid-1950s.
