Many of the myths concerning this film were later popularized by the semi-fictitious TV movie RKO 281 - La vera storia di Quarto potere (1999) which purported tell the "real story" behind Citizen Kane's production and filming. Contrary to the latter TV film and popular myth, it was Herman J. Mankiewicz who persuaded Orson Welles to make Citizen Kane, not vice versa. Welles never had a personal grudge against Hearst as Welles and Hearst never met. Welles never visited Hearst's residence at San Simeon. RKO president George Schaefer wasn't fired when "Citizen Kane" opened in May 1941. Instead, he lost his job a year later due to RKO's lackluster box office receipts during his tenure. Marion Davies was neither the primary basis for the Susan Alexander character in Citizen Kane nor a mediocre actress who owed her career to Hearst. She was a successful comedienne in motion pictures long before she and Hearst met.
