During his recording session Orson Welles' pet dog sat on his own chair next to him. 'Peter Fernandez' described the voice he needed as that of a pigeon that looked like a New York pigeon. Welles began with a Brooklyn accent, but was told that he just *looks* like a New York pigeon but has no accent.
