Orson Welles --- his father aga khan III -- the UFA heavyweight..

this thread is about the father of Orson Welles. as the proverb goes "Like father like son" so its no surprise that Orson Welles inherited his gameplan and aptitudes from his father, a typical israelite, a small man but with a lot of influence in high places. wearing his trademark glasses proudly. often accompanied by a tophat and cigar, like the "trust bosses" in these days used to carry themselves in public...this man was no chief rabbi, but another local rabbi in a city of ukraine. and his great-great grandfather had been the "other" menachem mendel shnerson, 3rd in line in the dynasty of lubavitch rabbis.

 this is the aga khan. a small wellfed man with big glasses. father of aly khan, or ORson.

 in his jewish identity he was rev levi itzik, born 1878 and mostly active in ukraine. his wife was called rebbetzin chana yanovski. her father was chief rabbi of the city nikolaev in ukraine.

 in his identity as aga khan the third, he was supposedly born in karachi, india, with whom the british empire already had a nice trade connection for a long time (british east india trading company etc)... they would play rugby and crocket, and drink tea at 3 in the afternoon...
his grave however is in egypt, one of the greatest hotbeds of illuminism in all of history, along with chaldea.

 heres the aga khan´s crib in india. he also attended college in eton and cambridge, england. furthermore he was an imam of the shia sect of islam, so you see he came around quite a bit.

 here his mausoleum in egypt.

 compare the faces. would you suspect reading the newspaper this rabbi and muslim ruler could be the same ? see... thats what i write my blog for...

 here again the aga khan with his umbrella and tophat.

 but you probably know him yet for another role he played, both in the german UFA movie studios and hollywood studios already buzzing at that time with silent movies. his name was fritz lang, a german director who made "metropolis", a movie you´ve probably seen already.

 fritz lang they say was born in germany, rose to fame, then moved to hollywood... do i even have to comment on that. we´ve heard it by now about a million times..

 see the eyes of fritz lang and the aga khan III. same person exactly. also mark corner of mouth

 i first didnt believe it, but they really are the same. the eyes here are the same.

 and the monocular worn by fritz lang was merely to make him look more prussian..

 here the ears again. and frontals of a younger khan and older fritz in his senior years...

 this doesnt really fit here since he didnt play a head rabbi of lubavitch, unlike his son. but he was also a rabbi in ukraine yekaterinoslav. and lived and breathed the Talmud, the very book that the biggest prophet to ever walk the earth had condemned as food for "snakes and vipers " and said whoever would obey it could by no means escape the "damnation of hell"...

 the ears identical for itzik and lang

 and yet again the khan with the same ear

 here fritz lang experimenting with a camera slide. hollywood was still in the making..

 the peak of hollywood during the golden era (1927-1969) more than half the american population would go to the movies every weekend, since many households did not own a television yet.

 this is total power.

 they say the official father of Orson Welles is richard hodgdon welles, but that must be the same guy... for power goes first. the rest can be somehow made to fit...

 left aga khan rite side rev itzik

 that was his wife chana

 this man was already a really proficient student of kaballa at age 22. a book that even jews dont recommend to read before age 30, since it is written for a mature reader.

 frontals

 then we have billy wilder, born 1906. whom we already mentioned. see the ear ? might be another son. also small stature and simlar nose to fritz lang.

so that was fritz lang... for the girl who turned into a robot in his "metropolis" we´ll have to wait for a later thread...she also played under diffrent names in both berlin and hollywood..

and for his wife, also an actress and showperson, you´ll have to wait. its too much workload for now.
