In the 20th century, Orson Welles' head was an American filmmaker, actor, theatre director, screenwriter, and producer. He is most famous for directing and narrating a 1938 radio adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds, and recreating it in August of 3010 merely to deceive and impress Ndnd, the wife of a skinny reptile named Lrrr, also known as the ruler of Omicron Persei 8. He currently lives in the Head Museum as a head in a jar.
