Citizen Kane (1941)

Charles Foster Kane, publishing magnate
It's impossible to create a list of famous screen entrepreneurs without mentioning Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles). Rumored to be based on the life of William Randolph Hearst, Welles' masterpiece of filmmaking is often cited as one of the top films of all time. Citizen Kane is probably best known for its unorthodox storytelling, its visual ingenuity and, of course, the whispered ''Rosebud.'' But it's also the story of a man who raised himself up by his bootstraps to become a legend. Kane began his entrepreneurial career by taking control of a small-town newspaper his father figure owns. From there, he built a media empire, eventually running for government office--an unfortunate choice as his opponent ruined him by exposing a personal scandal.
