Well, Orson Welles may not be in the top 10%, but at least he’s still on the A-List. And let’s be real, he did make a movie about a giant talking sled, so he’s got that going for him. (Note: This is a reference to the movie “Citizen Kane,” which famously features a scene where the main character’s dying words are “Rosebud,” which is revealed to be the name of a sled he had as a child.)
