It Wasn't All Hearst
While undeniably a sizable percentage of Kane is Hearst, there are also elements from various other now-forgotten self-made multimillionaires. Some bits are recognizably H.A.W. Tabor (and his mistress/wife "Baby Doe", who - like Marion Davies to Hearst - remained faithful to him and then to his memory all her life).
Considering that the film is a tragedy, there really ought to be a tearjerker page- the "slow clap" scene is particularly depressing. Sadly I have no idea how to create new subpages :/
