Orson Welles transformed to Benjamin Franklin in the film "La Fayette" at the Studios de la Victorine, Nice 1961.

Orson Welles is captured in a moment of quiet concentration during his transformation into Benjamin Franklin for the film "La Fayette." Seated in profile in a dimly lit room, he gazes into a small mirror while holding a lit cigar. Strong sidelighting illuminates his period costume—a dark coat with ruffled cuffs, small eyeglasses, and a bald cap with long, flowing hair. Studios de la Victorine, Nice, 1961.
