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.

From Publishers Weekly
Major movie producer Evans, self-described "bad boy of Hollywood," sums up his lifelong personal style succinctly in his memoir's last line: "Resolve: Fuck 'em, fuck 'em all..." Chronicling his high-drama life, Evans paints a riveting, self-promoting picture of his 30-year career in the film industry, from his 1956 debut in Man of a Thousand Faces to his lengthy stint, beginning in 1967, as the head of Paramount Pictures, where he oversaw the production of such cinematic hits as Barefoot in the Park; The Odd Couple; Goodbye, Columbus; Harold and Maude; Rosemary's Baby; The Godfather; Love Story; and Chinatown. In a predictably confident, often feisty tone, Evans describes his rise, fall and what he calls his recent return to the upper echelons of Tinseltown power, as he recalls personal encounters with, and memories of, such show-biz brand names as Errol Flynn, James Cagney, Jack Nicolson, Mia Farrow, Mike Todd, Francis Ford Coppola and two of his wives, Ali MacGraw and Phyllis George. Offering a real insider's view of Hollywood, Evans's memoir is easily worth the price of admission.

An interesting read.
By WorldTravelr
This book was clearly written by Joe Ezsterhas for Robert Evans ... It reads very similar to Ezsterhas' own memoir Hollywood Animal which was written years later.
It is a very interesting and self excoriating account from Bob Evans' own mouth about how he became one of Hollywood's most influential players ... Ever.
Having known many people who worked with Bob Evans during his time at the top of the Hollywood food chain, this book humanizes him and shows a softer side than you will hear from those who were actually in the trenches which Evans commanded. To say that Evans lived a life of decadence is the mildest of understatements. While the book dishes the dirt ... Some of it reads as though a Public Relations firm put it together to soften the edges of one of the most hedonistic 'carnal-vores' ever to roam The Hollywood Hills.
For fans of 1960s-1970s film, this tells a lot of the stories behind such pictures as Love Story, The Godfather, Chinatown, etc. It does a good job of showing just how many problems a producer has to deal with and includes a bevy of characters such as Dustin Hoffman, Francis Ford Coppola, Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, Sidney Korshak and a ton of executives who were once the kings of Hollywood and household names bigger than Coke or Pepsi but now mean nothing to those who weren't there at the time.
Evans may not be as relevant as he was to the scene but the man was responsible for saving Paramount, making some of the best known movies in history and (by his own accounts) bedding some of Tinseltown's top starlets.
This is a page turner. While Evans does tend to self depricate ... I am sure there are other sides to every story. The thing that most surprised me about the book is that while Evans is a shamess self promoter and horn blower, the book doesn't seem to brag as much as I thought it would. Instead it tells the tale of Hollywood excess and the often clichéd, 'Be careful what you wish for as you might actually get it' line.
I can't say that I'd ever want to be married to or related to Bob Evans after reading the book ... But I wouldn't mind him advising my career if even half of the producing stories he tells are accurate.
This is a great read and I'd recommend it to
anyone who even has a remote interest in the inner workings of Hollywood.

He'll Have Lunch In This Town Again
By prisrob
Robert Evans, I had heard about him via the gossip rags all related to one woman or another, nothing positive, mind you. It wasn't until Liz Smith spoke so knowingly of his auto biography that it rang any real interest. The book is twenty years old, and doesn't really ring any bells but it does read well.
He takes us from his birth and young days of a supportive and loving family. He wanted to go to an entertainment high school, but had to settle for a school near the bad side of town to show he could do anything and win. He started as a two bit actor, model, salesman of certain things, meeting the high and the low. The low, including the mobsters are glossed over, but the feel is that they were a lot more involved. His time as an actor in Hollywood sounds like he was the biggest star known, but, of course, not. Maybe some of the drugs inhaled over the years went to the brain. At any point, it sounds like he made it with every actress known to man, and, maybe so.
He names names, his wife, Ali MacGraw, who left him for another man, Phyllis George, another wife who left him, fourteen women in all, all now rich, he attributes to him. Politicos were many, even Henry Kissinger, who interrupted an important political event to be by his side. What did he gave on these guys? It is said he was to be part of Heidi Fleiss's trial for prostitution. It is an interesting portion of the book, but, I think represents exactly his above board ego. He is a great writer, but did he write this all himself?
He was a big man behind the scenes in Hollywood, without him, 'The Godfather' and 'Chinatown' would not have been made. A few stories from those films, but not enough to keep us interested. He gave away a little, but not much, which makes me wonder, if what he has is so big that he could not stay in thus town if revealed. What does come out, is the over powering ego, not to my liking, but, then, this is his book.

True, half true, or invented?
By ilprofessore
Robert Evans is one of those larger than life characters that the film business produces, a man who insisted upon writing this screenplay in the form of a memoir in which he was the hero of his own life. As you read the text of the scenario, you can't help but wonder how much of this saga is true, half true, or completely invented. I suspect that even the author could not tell you. Nevertheless it makes for a terrific movie. The film's hero, of course,chooses to leave out or minimize some of less sympathetic but well publicized acts of real life, and glamorize others. It is typical of such self-serving stories in which the Hollywood hero admits to being a thoroughly rotten but sexy human being--blame it here on cocaine--that he must also try to convince us that despite his horrendous behavior to everyone around him, he was always the perfect loving father. I wonder what his son thinks.
There is no doubt that when Evans first ran Paramount in the early Bludhorn years he took a chance on many scripts and directors that no one else would touch, and he deservedly takes credit for their great success. However, if you look at a lifetime's batting average, the projects that were truly his, the score is very low. In life unlike the movies, Evans was no more or less a hero or genius than so many others whose inflated egos we meet on these pages. If you'd like another view, perhaps a truer one of what it was really like back then, read Peter Biskind's "Raging Bulls," etc. about the same bunch. Not a very likable group of guys, by and large, and surely not as talented as they all thought they were then, as time has shown, but there's no arguing that once upon a time Evans and his pals did make some very good films along with all the messes they made of things ...people as well as films.
