agnes was amazing even in this her first role! despite how short it was you could see her talent and her style which would show up in all her acting thereafter. :)
Anges Moorehead is in total control of the scene. It's really something to watch. She was on Wells' radio team for years before this. I think we forget about her incredible talent if we only think of her as Endora on Bewitched.
When I had film studies in college this scene was discussed. As the credits were shown at the end of the movie, the audience was abuzz because they didn't realize they had just watched Agnes Moorehead!
Part of me suspects her nomination for Magnificent Ambersons was for this role as well. Similar to how Katy Jurado was nominated for Broken Lance but many saw it as a way of making up for her getting snubbed for High Noon
she played the mother as strong, resolute, waning the best fpr her son, even if she was dying inside. the father, was clinging, not wanting to release the boy. she had to be strong, although she was weak inside. she forced herself to accept her son's destiny. to better his life, and she did it as strong as she could muster inside her soul. she was focused, because the mother had to be focused, to give up her son for his benefit, and not her's.
Superbly directed , and acted, from start to finish.Name a greater actress, or better acting. George Couloris is very, very good as well. The evil face of capitalism, in excelsis.. Welles even got good acting of whatever RKO bit player I playing the self-serving louse of a father
Well she had to have come to the realization that her son need not turn out like her alcoholic hillbilly husband. So she packed him off to the well bred for influence. I’m sure she really thought she was doing the right thing. It scarred him forever. He knew who he was all his life. As he said to his friend years later, “If I’d been poor I could have been a decent man.” This was the pivotal point in his life. Everyone has one. It’s that one moment you turned a corner and your life fell into place from then on. Kane’s was that snowy day his mother gave him up.

Which is something she would never want. 💜⚘️
The shot of her looking out the window is my favorite moment in film.
Yes. Absolutely iconic. One of the best shots in all of cinematic history. Thanks for mentioning.
I woke up in the middle of the night seeing that scene through the window for the first time. I thought I was still dreaming.
She didn't say a thing in her part of the Twilight Zone and killed that part too. What a talent.
If I were ever to teach film acting, I’d spend half the semester discussing this scene.
At the moment I am doing just that.

Perfection!!!!!!!!!!
This mоviе is now аaaavailablе to watch hеrе => twitter.com/7aef42b2f50531def/status/795841908022984704 Agnes Mooоoreheaaad Citizеn Kаnе
Good ole days of movie's ♡♡♡
She played a bounty hunter in an episode of The Rifleman ... oh, I guess in about 1960. Very versatile, she was.
Agnes Moorehead before bewitched and she did a great job
Probably the greatest/shortest appearance in film history. This should have been one of her Academy Award nominated roles.

His mother is the same actress from Bewitched. Agnes Moorehead played Endora, Samantha’s mother.
Samantha and Kane are brothers.
and the TZ episode the Invaders. :)
I have his trunk all packed. I've had it packed for a week now.
Great Actress.

She plays an evangelist with Shelley Winters and Debbie Reynolds in "" What's the Matter With Helen"" evil and riveting ❤😊😊
Can't blame Charles for freakin out like that. I'd probably have done the same. LOL
Volume needs to be higher
i’m still really trying to understand citizen kane
That wasn't the R*****d sled in the furnace.
Watch Our Vines Have Tender Grapes
It was his sled
