1. - Nicole Kidman, Dead Calm, 1989. Oja was in the Orson Welles version - known variously as The Deep, The Yacht, Dead Reckoning or Mistaken Identity - and never finished in 1968 and totally cancelled with the 1973 death of the main star, Laurence Harvey. Clips were seen in Orson Welles: The One-Man Band 1995, by Vassili Silovic and the Croatian Kodar - Orson's mistress and muse from 1966 to his 1985 death.
2. - Irene Jacob, The Big Brass Ring, 1998. Prompted by Henry Jaglom, Orson Welles wrote a hot political script - too hot for any Hollywood backers. The project was finally rescued 15 years on. Yes, but that was 13 years after Orson's death.
