Hearst hated Citizen Kane so much that he banned any mention of the film in any of his newspapers and he owned ALOT of newspapers.

The relationship was an open secret and the basis for the iconic Orson Welles film Citizen Kane. Hearst despite being married, dated and lived with Marion Davies for over 30 years.

William Randolph Hearst was a newspaper magnet and is probably best known now for Hearst Castle which was his California home and is now a California tourist attraction. Marion Davies was an actress during the silent movie era and early talkies. I should probably start off by explaining to those of you who don't know, who Marion Davies and William Randolph Hearst were. I truly hope Marion Davies was not as dumb and naive as she appears in this book.
