THE CAST

JOSEPH COTTEN

Joseph Cotten, a respected resident of the Hollywood community, and a distinguished star of motion pictures, stage and television, plays Kenneth H. Regan, the motion picture producer in “The Oscar.” The characterization is that of a decent, fine representative of the film industry, a man of high intelligence and standards, but a man who can also read boxoffice figures and abide by the conclusion.

Cotten’s first motion picture was the controversial “Citizen Kane.” He came directly to “The Oscar” from his starring role in “Brighty,” and immediately following completion of his portrayal of producer Regan, he left for Italy to begin work in “The Tramplers,” a Western filmed in Europe by producer-director Albert Band.
