Beatrice Welles Biography
Beatrice Welles is one of the most popular and richest Model who was born on November 13, 1955 in Manhattan, United States. A serious injury in her teens put Welles off pursuing an Equestrian career. She began modeling and was featured in layouts for Vogue in addition to runway shows at Paris, Milan, London and New York, wearing the clothing from Valentino, Halston and Chanel. She was appointed news director for KAZM-AM radio station in Arizona in the 1970s, and then was a TV personality for the region and spokeswoman for a long time at a major Southwestern automobile dealership. In a period of 10 months during the mid-1980s she lost her mother, father and her maternal grandmother. Then the relationship that had been going on for a long time ended abruptly.
A Nevada resident, Welles has been twice married and divorced: from Christopher F. Smith (1987–1995), and Jonathan M. O’Donoghue (1997–2004). She is a passionate animal rights crusader and helped to establish one of the first low-cost spaying and neutering clinics in the United States.
She collaborated with producer Julian Schlossberg on the restoration of her father’s film, Othello, which was screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 1992 – 40 years after its release.
Growing up and being educated in Europe by private tutors, Welles lived her early years in close proximity to her parents. She was on stage at the age five years old in an Irish stage production called Chimes at Midnight, and later, in the film with the same title. 50 years later she remembered the filming to be used in The Immortal Story, the Criterion Collection release of the film on Blu-ray and DVD. The film of her father, The Immortal Story (1968) was shot at the Welles family’s home in Madrid, Spain, and she spent many hours working with him in the editing room.
In the following year, she resisted the re-editing of the film her father directed, Touch of Evil (1958). She was against the film being edited and promoted to be a “director’s cut”, without being allowed to screen it prior to its release. She claimed that her protests were motivated by a disastrous editing of Don Quixote a few years prior.
Orson Welles died on October 10, 1985. His widow, Paola Mori, died 10 months later, following a car crash. After the death of her parents, Welles untangled a convoluted estate and complicated rights issues, which involved her father’s longtime partner Oja Kodar. The two women signed a settlement on November 7, 1986, in a Clark County, Nevada courthouse.
