Washington, December 1 (ANI): Orson Welles’ daughter has slammed the negative portrayal of her father as a womaniser in the period-drama “Me And Orson Welles”.

Chris Welles Feder criticised the depiction of her father as a dictatorial filmmaker who cheated on her pregnant mother.

“That’s not my father - it’s a distortion,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling the New York Daily News.

“They took all the negative things and fashioned a character that’s a caricature. It’s laughable,” she added.

Christian McKay’s defended his portrayal of the late American film legend, saying: “I respect her opinion enormously. At the same time… if we made him more likable, we’d have taken all the drama away.” (ANI)
