The Kid Stays in the Picture by Robert Evans

adventurous dark funny reflective sad tense medium-paced

2.0

Icky. Robert Evan’s, born in 1930, was the kind of man who called women dames and broads and thought of them as conquests not colleagues. He was “of a time” in Hollywood long before MeToo and, boy, are some of his recollections difficult to read today. Does it tell an interesting story about the 60s-90s in Hollywood? Yes. Do you like Evans? No. Womanizer, drug addict, narcissist to a tee. To make it worse, in 2013 he adds a few thin “updates” to the end that just double down on his love-affair with himself. If you’re a white man over the age of 80, you’ll probably love this. Otherwise, hard pass.
