The Kid Stays In The Picture

July 27, 2002 3:56 PM

The Kid Stays In The Picture is the recently released documentary based on the auto-biography by Robert Evans. The book, read shamelessly by Evans himself, became an instant classic inside Hollywood. Sure, this site is pure marketing, but the virtual Robert Evans is classic. While Evans may have been an egocentric nut, weren't movies better when colorful personalities like his called the shots, rather than todays CEOs and the yes-people reporting to them?

errr... I should have clarified that it was the book-on-tape that followed the original's publishing that was read by Evans. Sorry!

Did anyone catch Wes Anderson (Rushmore, The Royal Tennenbaums) interviewing Evans on Charlie Rose? I didn't see it all, but what did see was a little creepy.
