  Joseph Cotten - Biography - Moviefone
Cotten went on to play the kindly auto mogul Eugene Morgan in Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons in 1942, and both acted in and co-wrote Journey Into Fear, the film that Welles was working on when he was summarily fired by RKO.
Cotten remained a close friend of Welles until the director's death in 1985; he co-starred with Welles in Carol Reed's The Third Man (1949) and played an unbilled cameo for old times' sake in the Welles-directed Touch of Evil (1958).
Cotten's screen career flagged during the 1950s and '60s, though he flourished on television as a guest performer on such anthologies as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Fireside Theatre, The Great Adventure, and as host of The 20th Century-Fox Hour (1955), The Joseph Cotten Show (1956), On Trial (1959), and Hollywood and the Stars (1963).

Cotten came to Hollywood with Orson Welles in the early 1940s as a member of Welles' New York theatre group, The Mercury Players and in 1941, made his feature film debut in Welles' now-legendary tale of the rise and fall of newspaper tycoon CITIZEN KANE.
Cotten played Eugene Morgan in the film, an eccentric inventor and spurned suitor who returns years later to court the now-widowed daughter of the rich, powerful Amberson family, but must confront opposition from her grown son.
In 1943, Alfred Hitchcock turned Cotten's established screen image as an often-victimized leading man on its head when he cast him as Uncle Charlie in SHADOW OF A DOUBT opposite Teresa Wright (at left).

Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten) is an alcoholic pulp writer come to visit his old friend Harry Lime (Orson Welles).
Cotten, Howard and Valli are great in their parts, but Orson Welles as Harry Lime steals the film - he should have won the Oscar for his brilliant work here.
Welles' Harry Lime is a cynical, uncaring horror - a very "dirty" Harry indeed (pun intended!) Joseph Cottens as Holly Martins starts out naive and foolish, a total buffoon and innocent, who falls in love with Welles' mistress overnight, but he soon hardens as the full magnitude of his friend's crimes become clear to him.

The story is set during the late 19th century and follows the rise and fall of the wealthy Amberson family of Indianapolis, Indiana.
Central to the drama is George Amberson Minafer (Tim Holt), who is snobbishly to the manor born, and whose petty jealousies and truculent pride compel him to prevent a wealthy inventor (Joseph Cotten) from marrying his widowed mother (Dolores Costello).
Georgie is egoism incarnate; he belongs to the scorpions of Welle's world: like Kane, or like Quinlan in TOUCH OF EVIL (1958) he frustrates and blights the lives of those around him almost in spite of himself.
