William Randolph Hearst (April 29, 1863–August 14, 1951) was an American newspaper magnate, born in San Francisco, California.
Hearst upset the left-wing in America by being a pro-Nazi in the 1930s (for example by entertaining, in 1933, Mussolini's mistress Margherita Sarfatti during her tour of the US) and a staunch anti-Communist in the 1940s.

In 1895, William Hearst purchased the unsuccessful New York Morning Journal, hiring writers like Stephen Crane and and entering into a head-to-head circulation war with his former mentor, Joseph Pulitzer, owner of the New York World, from whom he 'stole' Richard F. Outcault, the inventor of color comics.
Hearst was aware of this film's production and he used all his resources and influence in his attempt to halt it and prevent its release at least partially because he felt it insulted Marion Davies, by fictionalising her as a talentless drunken singer.
However, in the long run, Hearst's efforts were in vain considering that after his death, Citizen Kane's reputation rose to be considered one of the greatest films of all time, and his connection to it is now inseparable from Hearst's reputation.

The Paradox of William Randolph Hearst and the Bolsheviks

That was the Hearst policy as early as March, l918, and despite the vicissitudes of revolution, counter-revolution and immeasurable slaughter, that cornerstone of Hearst policy--to give Communist Russia diplomatic recognition and save her for democracy--would continue for another sixteen years.

John Randolph Hearst (1910-1958) was said by some to have the most executive talent among the sons of William Randolph Hearst,and like his brothers worked for the Hearst Corporation.
Any question of his rivalling the non-family executives who constituted a majority of the trustees of his father's will, however, was rendered moot by his untimely death.
He left four children,including John Randolph Hearst Jr.,a company executive and director who today represents this branch of the family among the trustees,and the reclusive William Randolph Hearst II, said by Forbes to be living under an assumed name, perhaps escaping confusion with uncle William Randolph Hearst Jr.

William Randolph Hearst was a larger-than-life character of immense accomplishment — whether one views it as good or evil — and biographers have made a number of attempts to capture his mercurial personality.
