Ruth Warrick
by Andre Soares
Ruth Warrick, Charles Foster Kane’s wife in Orson Welles’s 1941 masterpiece Citizen Kane, died today of complications from pneumonia. Also in 1941, Warrick was Douglas Fairbanks, Jr’s leading lady in The Corsican Brothers, but her film career didn’t go very far. By the mid-1940s she had been mostly relegated to supporting roles.
On television, however, Warrick became a household name through the long-running soap opera "All My Children," in which she played the sophisticated Phoebe Tyler. For that role, Warrick received two Emmy nominations.
Ruth Warrick was 89.
