Beatrice lives by her own rules. Led by passion, respect and kindness, this authentic, modern day woman is a vibrant example of living from the heart.
Daughter of Orson Welles, she has traveled the world since the age of 2 weeks. Her father, a child prodigy and known throughout the world as a genius in film, her mother Paola
Mori Countess of Gerfalco, a woman of strength and great beauty, she inherited from both sides an insatiable creativity and a tendency to live “outside the box.” Throughout her childhood, this close knit family followed the trail of
Orson Welles’ artistic journey. Her gypsy like lifestyle found her on the sets of her father’s films from the dressing room to the cutting room traveling the globe.

Beatrice is truly her father’s daughter. Her irrepressible creativity can be seen in the many projects she has engaged in over the years. A spokesperson for Oldsmobile in Nevada for eight years she went on to found an innovative cosmetic
company with formulas that addressed the needs of a harsh, dry climate. From home design to handbags and Jewelry Beatrice is inspired to action in every moment.
After the death of both her father and her mother in a very brief period, Beatrice was entrusted with the guardianship of her father’s estate. Her job, says Beatrice “is to preserve,
honor and respect all that he stood for and all that he left behind.” She works to maintain the purity of his vision and the truth of his creative voice. Who better to accept this responsibility than his own daughter who grew up in the
very heart of his work. She personally resurrected and oversaw the restoration of his film Othello and is opening a museum in Spain featuring a look into Orson personally as well the other facets of this amazing man.
| True to her experiences of childhood she follows in her family footsteps not only in her passion for creative expression but in her love for animals. An advocate for those in
need since her childhood abroad, she continues to be involved in finding loving and safe circumstances for animals near and far. One of the founders of the first low-cost spay and neuter clinic in the U.S., this Las Vegas clinic has become
a model for other programs around the country.
She has passionately worked as an animal advocate internationally. Currently she resides in Las Vegas Nevada

Respect is a theme that runs through her life, respect for family, for life, for all those who share this planet. “I can’t think of anything more important to me, respect in every
sense of the word. If we respected each other, our world would be a different place.”
