Book Summary
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.
