Orson Welles: He Was Fat, but He Was Fabulous
I like this very short clip from Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show for two reasons:
1. It’s Orson Welles.
2. Welles is paraphrasing a famous rejoinder by Winston Churchill. The story (which may be apocryphal) is that a clearly intoxicated Churchill was reproached by the British politician Bessie Braddock. “Sir,” she said, “you are drunk.” To which Churchill replied, “And you, Bessie, are ugly. But I shall be sober in the morning, and you will still be ugly.”
