Publisher Description
Robert Evans' The Kid Stays in the Picture is universally recognized as the greatest, most outrageous, and most unforgettable show business memoir ever written. The basis of an award-winning documentary film, it remains the gold standard of Hollywood storytelling.
With black-and-white photographs from the author's archive and a new introduction by the legendary actor, producer, and Hollywood studio chief Robert Evans, The Kid Stays in the Picture is driven by a voice as charming and irresistible as any great novel.
An extraordinary raconteur, Evans spares no one, least of all himself. Filled with starring roles for everyone from Ava Gardner to Marlon Brando to Sharon Stone, The Kid Stays in the Picture: A Notorious Life is sharp, witty, and self-aggrandizing, and self-lacerating in equal measure.
This is a must-read for fans of American cinema and classics of the canon, including The Odd Couple, Rosemary’s Baby, Love Story, The Godfather, and Chinatown.
Customer Reviews
Voice Not for Me
Make sure you listen to a sample first. Evan’s narration just really irritates me and I cannot get through it.
Robert Evans on the Line 1…
The legend, Robert Evans, talking to you through this book. Listening to Bob tell his story is like being on a private telephone call and he is unloading his thoughts and recollections with only you. This book and audio book is the best. There are times, if you close your eyes and listen, you can almost smell the front lot air at Paramount Pictures as he speaks. It’s that good. Keep Rockin’! 🎸 #MattJasonRocks #KeepRockin
It is, in Fact, Narrated by Bob Evans
Ignore the other reviewers. The beginnning is narrated by the intro’s author, Peter Bart. The rest is Robert Evans.
