MOVIES - May 8, 1987

Orson Welles’ ashes were entombed in Ronda, Spain, Thursday at a country house of retired bullfighter Antonio Ordonez where the American film maker once spent his vacations. Welles’ daughter, Beatrice, in black mourning dress, placed an eight-inch square blue urn in a sham brick well that was later sealed without bearing any name, witnesses said. The actor and director, who won lasting fame with his film “Citizen Kane,” lived in Spain in the 1960s and was a close friend of Ordonez. Eight handfuls of earth were thrown into the well by Beatrice Welles and others; one was of yellow sand from the 202-year-old bullring at Ronda, four miles away, the oldest and one of the most beautiful in Spain.
