Los Angeles (AP)- The Academy Award statuette that Orson Welles won for
the original screenplay of “Citizen Kane” was recently auctioned for more than
$861,000 in Los Angeles. The 1942 Oscar was thought to be lost for decades. It surfaced in 1994 when cinematographer Gary Graver tried to sell it. The sale
was stopped by Beatrice Welles, Orson’s youngest daughter and sole heir.

The auction house declined to release the highest bidder’s name. Welles, who
wrote the screenplay for "Citizen Kane" with Herman Mankiewicz, also directed
and starred in the film, considered by most critics to be one of the best of all
time.

Judgment at Nuremberg is a 1961 drama based on the Holocaust and the Post-
World War ll Nuremberg Military Tribunal in 1947 of certain judges who served
during the Nazi regime in Germany. The movie won the Academy Award for Best
Actor (Maximilian Schell) and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from
Another Medium, and was nominated for eleven Academy Awards. Many of the
big name actors who appeared in the film did so for a fraction of their usual
salaries because they believed in the social importance of the project.

Sinatra began singing for tips at the age of eight at a local nightclub in Hoboken,
New Jersey. He began singing professionally as a teenager in the 1935 when he
joined a hometown singing group, The Three Flashes. With the addition of Sinatra,
the group became known as The Hoboken Four. After the group appeared on Major Bowes Amateur Hour, they garnered 40,000 votes and won the first prize, a six month contract to perform on stage and radio across the United States. Frank learned music
by ear, but he never learned how to read music.

Best Supporting Actor for his role in From Here to Eternity (1953), a nomination for
